Responsibilities

Conduct integrated market assessments of lead-based and lead-free paint and related inputs in India, mapping supply chains of lead-based inputs and lead-free substitutes: input sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, and trade flows

Compile and, where possible, triangulate price and trade-flow data; gather distributor and supplier behavior insights

Identify key manufacturers of lead chromate and other lead-based pigments and map the landscape of lead-free substitute suppliers

Map the current landscape of POC blood lead testing devices available in India, including imported products and domestic manufacturers

Identify and assess promising Indian diagnostic innovations at various stages of development, evaluating technical specifications, regulatory status, manufacturing readiness, and cost structures

Analyse barriers to scale for diagnostics: pricing, procurement pathways, quality assurance, regulatory approvals, and end-user adoption constraints

Lead Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with relevant stakeholders (manufacturers, distributors, SMEs, regulators, providers and government bodies) to understand incentives, switching costs, technical constraints, and barriers to adoption

Synthesize findings to generate a long list of potential intervention ideas (supply-side, demand-side, regulatory, market shaping) across both paints and diagnostics

Apply a structured evaluation framework (unit economics, feasibility, cost–benefit, risk, scenario analysis, scalability) to assess and prioritize intervention ideas from the potential longlist of interventions

Develop consolidated themes and comparison in collaboration with WJCF Teams and global teams to identify high impact opportunities to meet program goals

Produce detailed rationale for selection of a short-list of 3–5 pilot market interventions across both workstreams, with clear articulation of expected impact on reducing lead exposure

Develop detailed pilot blueprints for selected interventions: implementation plans, resource requirements, partnerships, budgets, timelines, risk assessments, and mitigation strategies

Design outcomes-based measurement & evaluation framework for each pilot: define metrics, data collection plans, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tools

Prepare implementation toolkits and support materials for roll-out (e.g., SOPs, stakeholder engagement plans, supplier/distributor onboarding, regulatory compliance guidance)

Facilitate stakeholder coordination — including with governments, regulators, manufacturers, suppliers, SMEs, NGOs partners — to secure buy-in, partnerships, and support for pilot roll-out

Support donor engagement and proposal development as needed (concept notes, funding proposals, progress reports)

Provide advisory support to governments, regulatory bodies, or industry associations on regulatory guidance and market shaping strategies

Remain updated on global developments in lead exposure, paint regulation, diagnostic technologies, and safer-substitute innovations
