Global Water Initiative (GWI) Recruitment For Project Coordinator
The Global Water Initiative (GWI) addresses the declining state of the world's supply of fresh water and the lack of access to clean water services by the world's poorest people. It brings together the talents and experiences of seven leading international organizations—Action Against Hunger—USA, CARE, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), Oxfam America and SOS Sahel UK—to work out effective solutions.
The creation of the GWI comes at a time when more than 1 billion people lack access to improved water sources and more than 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation.

Global Water Initiative (GWI) Project Coordinator Job vacancy
Global Water Initiative (GWI) Project Coordinator Job vacancy
The Global Water Initiative is a coalition of seven international organizations1 with a plan to change the landscape of water, sanitation and hygiene services in 13 countries in Central America, West Africa and East Africa. For a minimum of 10 years, these partners will address the challenges of providing long-term access to clean water and sanitation for homes and livelihoods, while promoting the protection and sustainable management of ecosystems and watersheds. The partner organizations focus on the needs of some of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable communities including those living in arid and semiarid areas.
Each year, over $15 million is made available by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. “It is our objective to utilize and leverage the experience of our partners to create a flexible and spontaneous approach to providing poor communities access to safe drinking water. By building new constituencies, creating stronger alliances and engaging all stakeholders, it is our hope to create a new vision and an effective platform for change,” stated Howard Buffett, President of the Foundation.
The individual partners have extensive experience working with poor and vulnerable populations in the areas of water, sanitation and the environment. Yet the GWI provides an unprecedented opportunity to implement a more ambitious approach to a complex problem through collaboration and ongoing learning. By combining ideas, experiences and geographical reach, the partners will work with local organizations and agencies to create lasting change in the 13 countries.

Jobs in Ghana Accra (Google): Program Manager
Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Beginning in 1996, Stanford University graduate students Larry Page and Sergey Brin built a search engine called “BackRub” that used links to determine the importance of individual web pages. By 1998 they had formalized their work, creating the company you know today as Google.
Since then, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer science students in a university dorm room, we now have thousands of employees and offices around the world.
