🇸🇱 Job Vacancies @ GOAL – 2 Positions

GOAL GOAL is recruiting to fill the following positions in Sierra Leone:

1.) CBD Regeneration Project Engineer
2.) Blue Economy Program Manager

See job details and how to apply below.

1.) CBD Regeneration Project Engineer

Re- Advertisement

INTERNAL & EXTERNAL

General Description of GOAL’s Work in Sierra Leone

GOAL has been present in Sierra Leone since 1999, with an overall aim to contribute to poverty and vulnerability reduction through the implementation of integrated, multi-sectoral interventions, with a primary focus on improving Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) specifically addressing teenage pregnancy. GOAL is also improving rural water supply, and urban WASH focusing on faecal sludge management and promoting social inclusion, empowerment, and decent work through systems-based programme approaches and community-led social and behavioural change. GOAL currently operates in Western Area Urban (Freetown), Kambia, Bombali, Koinadugu, Moyamba and Kenema Districts, with funding from Irish Aid, Charity: Water; BOSCH, UNCDF, and IRC/FCDO and now the Community Foundation Ireland for its new blue economy program that is focused on food security and livelihood improvement.

General Description of the Programme

GOAL Sierra Leone will act as an overall enabler and facilitator of the C2CC by assuming facilitation and coordination responsibilities for the C2CC on behalf of and in close coordination with FCC and Zurich, including financial and fiduciary responsibilities. While the strategic lead lies with the partner cities and the FCC in close coordination, the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) has the technical lead, while GOAL Sierra Leone assumes the role of the overall coordinator of the C2CC, ensuring the smooth interaction between the different implementation levels and partners, with a special advisory function for the FCC Project Manager.

As part of the fiduciary responsibility, GOAL Sierra Leone is the custodian of the C2CC budget, receives and manages the financial contribution of Zurich as well as other possible funds, subcontracts Technical Implementation Partners (eg contractors, technical specialists, etc.), and is accountable for the financial management of the C2CC. GOAL Sierra Leone coordinates and implements procurement processes, thereby commissioning Technical Implementation Partners in close coordination with the C2CC Strategy Group (partner cities and PIU chair), for TOR definition and selection.

GOAL Sierra Leone under the FCC Project Manager is responsible for reviewing, approving, and executing subcontractor payments. Furthermore, GOAL Sierra Leone supports the capacity-building of the FCC Project Manager and Project Implementation Unit (PIU) by advising on project management as well as by providing technical know-how to reinforce the capacities of the FCC and the PIU. The FCC also requires additional technical advice and capacities to ensure effective implementation of the C2CC interventions, ranging from infrastructural regeneration measures to stakeholder involvement and safeguarding measures. Ideally, GOAL Sierra Leone can provide some additional technical capacities with a clear knowledge transfer plan for FCC. The technical expertise not available directly from GOAL Sierra Leone must be commissioned through subcontractors (procured through GOAL Sierra Leone).

Finally, GOAL Sierra Leone is responsible for monitoring and reporting C2CC implementation progress and financial developments both through regular informal exchanges with the partner cities and annual periodic reports. The annual report focusing on operational and financial developments is prepared by GOAL Sierra Leone in close coordination with the FCC Project Manager and the PIU. To support operational monitoring and strategic steering by the partner cities, GOAL Sierra Leone organizes regular C2CC Strategy Group meetings at semi-annual intervals comprising senior representatives of the partner cities, the Cooperation Partner as well as the chairperson of the PIU (to be identified) and possibly other representatives of the PIU.

This project is complex and involves operating these transfer stations as material Recovery facilities (MRF’s) where the waste collected from several households by tricyclists, waste trucks are disposed at these facilities for further processing. Since most of the household wastes collected are generally not sorted into the different waste categories i.e. organics, plastics, infectious,

GOAL is undertaking a Faecal Sludge Management Project (‘FSMP’, with the support of Water share Ireland, funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). This is a complex technical project which involves development of a transformational step-change in how latrine sludges are managed in the City of Freetown, Sierra Leone. This city of 1.2 million inhabitants has almost no public sewerage infrastructure and relies for sanitation on local latrines.

The first step in any project to rehabilitate Kingtom landfill is to remove the sludge deposition by developing a sludge management plant. The FSMP is the first step in developing a formalized arrangement, initially on a pilot basis, to put in place a treatment process for the tankered sludge. The process requires the construction, commissioning and taking into operation by Freetown City Council (‘FCC’) of a plant comprising sludge reception, dewatering, treatment of filtrate runoff and pilot sludge stabilization (composting) for re use.

General Description of the Programme

GOAL Sierra Leone interventions support strengthening the health systems to support resilience & sustainable health through improving health WASH service delivery systems. WASH interventions are implemented in three districts, namely, Western Area Urban, Kenema and Moyamba district. Other WASH interventions are mainstreamed into health interventions with focus on WASH in healthcare facilities. The Urban WASH programme focuses on providing support to Freetown City Council (FCC) to improve the FSM system across the value chain. With financing from FCDO, GOAL SL supported the construction of the first ever faecal sludge (FS) treatment plant. The FS Treatment Plant is a waste management centre where waste to energy conversion pilot actions have also been tested and prototyped. The broader climate change related actions are attracting several partnerships, and the potential is expanding. GOAL Sierra Leone has been supporting private sector involved in sanitation sector (Vacuum Truck Operators) to build their business management capacities. From the engagement, it was evidenced that the private actors in the sector are very fragile with limited financial resources to improve the technologies they are using. With funding from FCDO, GOAL Sierra Leone, in collaboration with Freetown City Council, initiated the first ever Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the management of state – owned sanitation assets. The SLA provides an opportunity to the private sector to have access to improved mechanized emptying technologies. Three vacuum trucks and semi-mechanized faecal sludge emptying technologies were purchased and leased to the private sector under the supervision of the FCC FSM Unit and FCC procurement team. The Urban WASH Programme Manager working with GOAL SLA Facilitator embedded within FCC, FSM Unit, and FCC procurement team will provide the oversight of this pilot, documenting the learning that can be used to inform the scale up.
