OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The Urbanising Water World in Africa
The 2011 World Urbanising Prospect report estimates that by 2050 60% of Africans will live in urban centres. But is the water and sanitation sector fit for purpose to address this rapidly urbanising world? Do we have appropriate water technologies, human resources, fiscal investment plans and partnerships?
Dr Samuel Godfrey is Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in UNICEF’s largest WASH programme globally (Ethiopia). Prior to that Dr Godfrey was the UNICEF Chief of WASH in Mozambique and the WASH Specialist in Madhya Pradesh, India. He describes himself as an ‘implementing academic’, with an MSc and PhD in water engineering from Loughborough University’s Water Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) and 18 years experience in the global water and sanitation sector.
