This Sida-funded project, led by SEI in partnership with Iraqi and international partners, aims to strengthen Iraq’s water security through improved water management and resource circularity. In the short term, the project seeks to increase knowledge and strengthen capacity for water planning, develop business models that promote circular solutions for urban wastewater and organic waste streams, and encourage circular practices in rural areas.
As an intern, you will work with SEI’s cross-centre team and project partners in Iraq and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to jointly coordinate and develop training modules, assessments and communication materials addressing uncertainty, scarcity and degradation of water resources.
