I have conducted research and learning into WASH system strengthening in Malawi, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria, for example through projects like WASH Systems for Health 2023–2028.

I have also researched how healthcare systems respond to extreme weather in Malawi, Tanzania, and Uganda, as seen in initiatives such as RESHAPE.

My work includes investigating water security indicators for pastoralist communities in Ethiopia, for instance through projects like this.

Additionally, I have researched user experiences and the political economy of container-based sanitation in South Africa and Kenya, as discussed in this study.
