As a follow up to our second Annual Conference last week, Arghyam is looking for a dynamic individual to join our team and lead our new Urban Water Initiative. We would appreciate it greatly if you, as a friend and well-wisher of Arghyam, could take a few minutes to go over this mail and help us identify the right candidate.
Arghyam is a not-for-profit foundation working in the water sector in India. Arghyam's vision is "Enough water, safe water….always and for all". We take up focused programs that address lack of equitable access to water, in a sustainable manner, amongst all citizens, through partnerships and grants.
Arghyam is launching a new effort in the urban water sector in April 2007. The initiative aims to develop a Practical Framework document for Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) in our urban areas tying together topics like water supply, water quality, urban hydrology, conservation and capacity-building. The Framework document is envisioned as a guide for those who manage urban water at various levels. The Framework document will initially focus on practices relevant for small towns and emphasize simple, practical steps that can be taken to achieve equity and sustainability. It will draw on existing best practices to fill gaps that exist today in IUWM. This framework will be developed through the concerted efforts of a Core Group of urban water experts supported by Arghyam. It will be experimentally validated through pilot experiments in small towns.
We need a Project Manager to take ownership of the Urban Water Initiative at Arghyam and drive all aspects of this project.
The Project Manager duties will include:
Requirements:
Pay will be commensurate with experience
About Us: We are a small, diverse team comprising individuals who have come together sharing the same dream and passion for making a difference to the people of India. The core members have had decades of experience in running projects in the not-for-profit, corporate and Government settings.
