Short Bio
Chibambila is a water and sanitation engineer and researcher with a background in civil engineering, infrastructure planning, and management. His expertise and interests mainly focus on developing Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure and technologies that support the circular use of resources and improve water management practices. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). His research centres on creating decentralized treatment technologies for source-separating urine systems. Additionally, he collaborates with Sanitation 360 AB through SLU to implement source-separated urine technologies in Sweden.
Motivation/Commitment to the GSC
I am deeply dedicated to advancing sustainable sanitation solutions that promote equity, resilience, and environmental integrity. My work centres on circular sanitation systems that close resource loops and support better climate practices; these approaches are vital to the future of sustainable development. Despite my limited professional experience in the WASH sector, I have witnessed the transformative power of collaboration, innovation, and inclusive governance. Serving on the SuSanA Global Steering Committee would enable me to contribute strategically to sound governance, resource mobilization, and the transition toward SuSanA 2.0, while advocating for circular, climate-smart, and equitable sanitation systems worldwide.
Is there anything else you would like to say to the SuSanA community?
From my first engagement with the SuSanA community, I was inspired by the openness, collaboration, and shared passion for advancing sustainable sanitation worldwide. The collective energy and commitment to innovation reaffirmed my belief in SuSanA’s crucial role in shaping a more resilient, inclusive, and circular sanitation future. I am eager to continue learning from and contributing to this vibrant network, broadening its impact across diverse regions and communities.
