It was great to catch up with Edwin today to hear about his fascinating doctoral fieldwork, including participatory hazard mapping with communities, in Freetown, Sierra Leone. #DRR #ClimateChange

A while back @CamilloBoano & I invited our @grripp friends to think collectively & submit an entry describing emotional landscapes & thinking in darker times. This Lexicon is the result of such collective engagement, which we are delighted to share: grripp.net/other

Numerous 'Performance & development reviews' (PDRs) now completed with some of my brilliant colleagues in @LboroABCE @WEDCUK . It's the amazing people that I work with @lborouniversity that I'll miss. I hope that @malc_cook and his team will do their best to look after them 🤞✊

Next week I have been invited to the workshop "Environmental Justice in Italy" at the Italian Geographical Society in Rome. I'll talk about issues with neglecting #vulnerability in DRR community participation scenarios. If you are in Rome, happy to see you.

The #WASH sector rarely gives any attention to bathing and laundry. My 9 years' work with perimenopausal women highlights a need for inclusive bathing and laundry facilities. Come and take a workshop to learn how you can address their hidden needs: rb.gy/2r4vvf

NEW! My new blog reflects on the lessons I learned about mobilising slum communities to achieve sustainable #WASH for all on a recent field visit in Ahmedabad with @umcasia amita-bhakta-hidden-wash.net…

Mobilising India’s slum communities is key to sustainable WASH services

Simply installing taps, pipes and toilets, even if fully inclusive, barely scratches the surface for what is needed to achieve sustainable WASH for all.

Reflecting on @TNUSSP programme, Pete Kolsky from @UNC_Water_Inst, says ' you have to do what you can, where you can, with what you have' -in context of sanitation programmes- we need to pragmatic about the existing situation and resources while we design a programme.

The menstrual hygiene needs of women as they approach the menopause are extremely different to adolescent girls, but the #WASH sector has neglected them. Learn how to address these relatively hidden needs with my workshop, and contact me for a brochure! amita-bhakta-hidden-wash.net…
