PhD Topic:Â Utilization of Ecological sanitation technology and microbial risks among users of its products in Burera district, Rwanda
Description: Celestin’s work is focusing on the utilization of Ecological sanitation toilets (Ecosan) which has been reported to be low in different geographical settings, yet its replication is critical in low and middle-income countries. He is also looking at microbial risks among users of Ecosan products which could be a barrier to its utilization especially in agriculture. His findings will support interventions on behavior change towards Ecosan in Rwanda and provide future direction on effective utilization of Ecosan toilets.
