Krishna Hari GC, Project Coordinator(Cities) at SNV Netherlands Development Organization

About

I am a WASH specialist with over 17 years of experience enhancing WASH service delivery in Nepal. I have led successful interventions across multiple districts and cities, focusing on capacity building in planning, contracting, financing, and managing service provision. My work includes implementing effective Behavior Change Communication (BCC) campaigns and strengthening safeguarding and Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) approaches at the city level. I have facilitated the transformation of local governance plans through public finance collaboration, integrating urban, green, resilient, and inclusive approaches along the sanitation service chain, and forming strategic partnerships with the private sector. My support to cities includes adopting new models for sanitation delivery, policy formulation, strategic planning, budgeting, and contract structuring for Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) delivery. I have experience in GEDSI and Inclusive WASH Research, advising and incorporating inclusion safeguards in both urban and rural programs. I have been recognized for my contributions and received appreciation certificates from various D-WASHCCs and the National WASH Steering Committee for achieving Open Defecation Free (ODF) status in Nepal. Additionally, I have experience managing donor-funded programs, overseeing staff, budgets, and reporting that were funded by governments of the UK, Netherlands, and the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council. I possess excellent communication and report-writing skills.
