Two Research Interns – SPLASH, 18 month contract
We are seeking to appoint two research interns on 18 month contracts to work on a project funded by the European Water Initiative, Self-sustaining Sanitation Chains in Informal Settlements.

In addition they must have had training in qualitative and quantitative social research methods and practical experience of carrying out research.

Applicants for all posts must have excellent oral and written English.
Research interns must be Rwandan by nationality and have excellent Kinyarwanda.
