IWMI’s Dr Miriam Otoo is the Winner of the 2019 IWA Development Award for Research. The Award announced at the Opening Ceremony of the International Water Association (IWA) Water and Development Congress in Colombo, Sri Lanka acknowledges Miriam’s outstanding contribution to research in the field of water and sanitation in low and mid income countries. The IWA recognition is awarded every two years and this is the second time that the same research team in IWMI has won this award.
Commenting on this, Dr Pay Drechsel, Program Leader at IWMI said “We are very happy for Miriam to have received this important recognition for her contribution to resource recovery and reuse (RRR) in the sanitation-agriculture interface. Miriam helped us immensely spearheading a business approach to RRR and transforming it into curricula for uptake by business and engineering schools in Europe, Asia and Africa”.
