Sifiso Dhlamini is a Doctoral Researcher affiliated with the Water Engineering research group. Her PhD research, initiated in October 2023, focuses on the intersection of sanitation governance and innovation to enhance service delivery in Sub-Saharan Africa. She holds a BSocSc and MSc, and her work emphasizes comparative WaSH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) problems, policies, and governance in low-to-middle-income countries.
Her research interests include sustainable urban WaSH infrastructure, policy-implementation gaps, and community-centered sanitation solutions. She has conducted fieldwork in Durban, South Africa, evaluating technologies like the Autarky handwashing station and analyzing socio-technical systems in peri-urban households.
Key themes in her publications include wastewater management, sanitation technology demonstration (e.g., SASTEP guidelines), and resource recovery from urine diversion toilets. Her work bridges technical innovation with governance, aiming to improve service delivery in marginalized urban areas.
Ms. Dhlamini collaborates with municipalities and informal settlement communities, focusing on intermediating policy and implementation for equitable sanitation services. She has no listed scientific awards but actively engages in interdisciplinary research through the Water Engineering group.
