COUNTRY OF ASSIGNMENT: Grenada
ANTICIPATED PROJECT START: August 2020

The scope of this service contract is determined by the Climate-Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS) Project, which is jointly implemented by the Grenadian Ministry of Infrastructure Development, Public Utilities, Energy, Transport and Implementation and the German International Development Corporation (GIZ). The G-CREWS project is co-funded by the Green Climate Fund and Germany’s Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
The project supports the integration of climate-resilience into Grenada’s water sector governance by establishing a dedicated Water Resource Management Unit (WRMU), based on the outcome of the drafted Water Policy, and by mainstreaming climate resilience in water sector related policies, plans and regulations.

@Brett. Agreed. It is about time that we use our education (and perhaps crowd funding?) to come up with our own home grown solutions to problems. Apart from the tips paid for the served drinks and the hotel accommodation most of the money goes back to the funding agency’s country. Pure “underdevelopology”.
I totally agree with the sentiments expressed where we need help help is never given. In addition training in the utilization of solar power will also make more sense so that we can pump water at minimal rates. Very often I wonder if the goal is to underdevelop our beloved country.
The main responsibilities of this position are meaningless, who on earth dreamt that up? Complete goddlegook sounds like a job for the boys. We’re an island, lots of water around, what’s wrong with a desalination plant? No dependence on weather, sea water is always there you can’t get more climate resistant than that. Someone is getting money for bullsh**t with this. Come on Grenada let’s get rid of people scamming us with pointless pointless paper pushers & get real water engineers involved who must be listened to.
