Sanitation and Climate change, assessing resilience and emissions

The Universities of Bristol/Leeds/Sydney should be recieving a grant of around 1MUSD from Gates totest and refine a methodology on GHG emissions for Sanitation. The consortium and Gates is looking for us to bring in buy-in at an institutional level and incorporate this methodology in policy work in Nepal, Uganda, Ethiopia and possibly Senegal.The initiative is led by Professor Guy Howard (an ex WHO and DFID lead - pioneer in linking WASH to climate) and sees a role for GGGI especially for buy in at institutional level through our country presence. The aim isnt to levy heavy funding but more to tap into reputed academics and QA on emissions work so as to strengthen our policy work. The policy work in turn can lead to other more GIS work, or as in the case of the current Gates grant and the KOICA project in Uganda strengthen the policy work that has been encouraged/requested. The funding is currently proposed to go through the universities. They are concerned that if it doesn go through them it will be hard to control the deliverables. This can be discussed. There is some synergy with the current Gates grant and so we may be able to pool some of resources from there for Nepal and Senegal as well as tapping into the 1MUSD grant which spans 3yrs. In view of our mainly buy in /policy work it may be around 200K for countries however if countries such as Uganda and Ethiopia need substantially more I can try and make the case to Gates for more or for a separate funding request.
