Consultancy – ACF WASH AI Formative Research  

ACF reference: [FR-PA-DEP-202508]  

In May 2024, the humanitarian organization Action Against Hunger (ACF) launched a pilot project to validate the strategic, operational, and technical advantages of using closed artificial intelligence (AI) (powered by internal documents) for its field, research, and advocacy projects in the water, sanitation, and hygiene sector. 

ACF wishes to independently evaluate, through an external consultant, the quantitative and qualitative use of the WASH AI artificial intelligence tool developed by the Canadian company BAOBAB TECH, which will be tested throughout 2025 in the 59 country offices of the ACF network. 

ACF is looking for a consultant with user experience in artificial intelligence tools. Knowledge of the humanitarian sector, ideally the WASH sector, is a plus. Fluency in professional written and spoken English, French, and ideally Spanish is required. 

This consultancy will be funded to the tune of €13,500 for a period of 20 to 25 days, starting on September 1, 2025, for a total duration of four months, so until December 31st 2025. 

The expected deliverables are an initial report, a final report, and an oral presentation of the results. 

The full consultancy dossier can be requested from Jean Lapegue (WASH Department Manager, ACF-France) at jlapegue@actioncontrelafaim.org.  

The deadline for submitting proposals is set for Friday, August 15, 2025, at 6:00 PM (Paris time), to be sent to jlapegue@actioncontrelafaim.org.  

We look forward to receiving your applications and send you our best regards.
