My PhD research is a collaboration with WaterAid in Mali, with the provisional title "Financing water and sanitation: what works for the poor in Mali?". The key questions concern the challenge of developing flexible financing arrangements which enable sustainable access to water and sanitation for the poor. I am based in Bamako for fieldwork until the end of 2011. My blog features updates from my fieldwork and discussions of wider issues in water, sanitation and international development: beginninginbamako.wordpress.com
