iDE is an international NGO with 40 years of experience in designing and delivering market-based solutions to poverty. iDE is headquartered in Denver, Colorado USA and operates in 11 countries around the world. 

iDE is seeking applications from qualified candidates for a Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) for 4 and half year USAID-funded Madagascar Urban Sanitation Project, named “DIO SERA”. This project aims to support the Government of Madagascar (GoM) to lead the sector and improve access to and use of sanitation products services in selected urban and peri-urban areas by strengthening the enabling environment for sanitation, improving the supply of and demand for sanitation products and services and improving key behaviors that contribute to the activity objectives. 

This position reports directly to the Chief of Party of the Dio Sera Project, and receives technical and other support from iDE headquarters staff and from other Country Directors and technical staff based within Africa and beyond. The Deputy Chief of Party will support the Chief of Party with responsibility and accountability for all of iDE’s finances, assets, and legal standing in Madagascar.

iDE believes inclusive markets are the most powerful tool for creating prosperity, building resilience, and ultimately ending poverty. By listening to every stakeholder—producers, suppliers, retailers and customers—we can overcome critical bottlenecks and develop lasting solutions. At iDE, we continually challenge assumptions, make effective data- and evidence-driven decisions, and enable agile delivery of strategies and resources toward improved outcomes for our interventions. We also work to transform beliefs and practices that perpetuate inequality and use the knowledge we acquire to design social and behavior change programming that promotes the creation of resilient market ecosystems, which benefit all people.
