    Studies Exploring Inequalities in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Kenya

    In January 2018, REACH launched a call for applications for studies Exploring Inequalities in three Observatories: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Wukro (Ethiopia), and Kitui (Kenya). A total of £150,000 of funding (£50,000 for each observatory) was awarded for research teams to co-build knowledge on how water (in)security produces or reflects socio-economic inequalities and marginalisation, particularly for women and disabled people.

    This research will inform the sector and policy makers on the consequences of industrialisation, appropriateness of water management and social consequences of different models of water supply.

    The grants are managed by Dr. Marina Korzenevica-Proud (reachfunding@ouce.ox.ac.uk). You can read more about each individual research project by clicking on the links below:
