You will oversee data systems and analytics for Evidence Action’s new In-Line Chlorination Innovation Team, under the Safe Water Now Program. Evidence Action’s Safe Water Now program provides access to safe drinking water across Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, and India through water chlorination. Backed by rigorous research showing chlorination can reduce child mortality by more than 20%, safe water is one of the most cost-effective health interventions globally.
The program’s newest intervention, In-Line Chlorination (ILC), automatically treats water as it flows through piped systems, requiring less behavior change from end users than existing solutions. As ILC scales up, core questions remain about how to optimize device performance, reduce operational costs, and strengthen community engagement. Answering these questions well will shape whether ILC can become a scalable, cost-effective model reaching millions more people. Evidence Action is investing in a dedicated Innovation team to find those answers.
This new team will conduct rapid field pilots testing improvements to the ILC model. Your job is to make sure those pilots produce data the team can trust and act on. You will design the data collection tools, build the dashboards, and own the pipeline from field measurement to operational decision. This is not a monitoring or evaluation role: the goal is to get useful information into the hands of field staff and program managers fast enough to change what happens next. Based in Mbale, Uganda, you will report to the Manager, Innovation & Learning, and work closely with both Field Technicians and the MLE Team.
