The Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) is an international partnership to help poor people gain sustained access to improved water and sanitation services. Administered b the World Bank with financial support from several bi- and multilateral and private donors, WSP is a decentralized partnership and operates through offices in Africa, East Asia, Latin America and South Asia. A major thrust of the program is to help its clients prepare for and implement actions towards meeting the water and sanitation-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In pursuing their mission, WSP staff provide advisory support to projects and policies help identify and disseminate best practices and lessons from experience across countries, assist clients in the implementation of pilot projects to test out new ideas and facilitate informal networks of practitioners and sector stakeholders. Additional information about WSP can be found on the program website (www.wsp.org).
WSP is led by a Program Manager located in the World Bank's Transport, Water, and Information & Communication Technology Department (TWI) in the Sustainable Development Network (SDN) Vice Presidency. The Program works closely with the Bank's regional operations and external partners through four regional offices in South Asia, East Asia/Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Africa. WSP in East Asia (WSP-EAP) currently operates through a regional office in Jakarta and country offices in Hanoi, Manila, Vientiane, and Phnom Penh. The WSP-EAP office is managed by a Regional Team Leader, based in Jakarta, Indonesia, who is accountable to the Global Program Manager in Washington.
WSP’s approved FY11-15 Business Plan is based on its global strategy “FY2009-2018: Scaling Up Sustainable Services”, which articulates WSP’s proposed strategic response to identified sector challenges affecting the poor through capacity building, technical assistance and knowledge. The Business Plan identifies six business areas where the program could have the best opportunity to affect large-scale change in sector performance: scaling up rural sanitation and hygiene; creating sustainable services through domestic private sector participation (DPSP); supporting poor-inclusive WSS sector reform; targeting the urban poor and improving services in small towns; mitigating and adapting WSS delivery to climate change impacts; and delivering WSS services in fragile states. These areas were identified through a process of embedding a results-based framework throughout WSP’s country, regional and global work programs.
WSP’s regional program is firmly built upon WSP’s Global Strategy, with the majority of its business plan activities focusing on scaling up rural sanitation and hygiene, creating sustainable services through DPSP, supporting poor-inclusive reforms, and targeting the urban poor and small towns. WSP focuses on a parallel track of influencing sector reform at the national level and building capacity at the local level; assisting the Government in operationalizing reforms at scale; improving the effectiveness of large-scale investments; analytical work in the identified business areas; and building strategic and cooperative alliances with other sector players. While rural sanitation and poor-inclusive policy reform have matured into fully-fledged business areas in all EAP focus countries over the past years, WSP is now seeking a Senior Specialist to support further development of the DPSP and urban poor/small towns business areas, with an emphasis on the water supply side.
