Background

About Tim Hayward

I have over 25 years of experience in a variety of water sector projects in sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, South East Asia and Latin America both in development and humanitarian relief with NGOs and UN agencies and also with private sector consultants in the UK. I’ve been with WSUP since 2006 where I am currently the General Manager for WSUP Advisory which is the consultancy service of WSUP. Further information on WSUP Advisory can be found at During my time with WSUP I have also been directly responsible for the scoping, development and management of a number of projects in East and West Africa aimed at supporting service providers, such as municipal authorities and water utilities, to develop mechanisms and ways of working that improve services to low income communities. Previously I was also the Programme Director for the WSUP programmes in Kumasi in Ghana, Bamako in Mali and Lusaka in Zambia. Before joining WSUP I was responsible for the strategic development of RedR’s international programme of training and learning for relief workers for 7 years. Prior to working with RedR I gained extensive experience in managing and coordinating humanitarian relief operations for water and sanitation with UNHCR and NGOs in the Balkans, Central Africa and South and South East Asia. Before that I worked with Acer Consultants in the UK on a number of waste water treatment and sewerage projects in the Severn Trent region, the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland.
