Research
Areas of Research
Much of my current work is researching community and household resilience, food and water security in Sub-Saharan Africa, in support of international development programs. I have particular interest in climate change adaptation, migration, governance, gender equality and women's empowerment
Following my PhD research in multi-actor networks for urban water supply, I led the consulting team preparing the Water Integrity Global Outlook report for the Water Integrity Network. I aim to continue researching the interface between the inclusion of peri-urban communities in strengthening governance for water supply, enhancing the right to water and sanitation, and preparing proposals to extend access to water and sanitation for all.
