About the author

Ms Joy N Riungu is a researcher and founder of the Sanitation Research Institute, Meru University of Science and Technology, Kenya. She has vast experience in onsite sanitation, technology development, testing and implementation; in particular within informal slum and peri-urban settlements. Her PhD thesis ‘Off-Site Enhanced Biogas Production with Concomitant Sludge Hygienisation of Faecal Matter’ was based on slum sanitation and sought to diversify treatment options for faecal sludge collected from container-based sanitation.
Among the sanitation projects she is currently leading are: community based black soldier fly faecal sludge processing unit, onsite sanitation capacity building (MSc, short courses and diploma), biochemical energy recovery, enabling the circular economy for sanitation and sanitation enhancement in off-grid cities.
Her intervention point is to create a paradigm shift in faecal sludge management in Kenya for sanitation enhancement, environmental protection, energy, and food security.

Summary

This research contributed to the development of an innovative FS stabilisation technology linking sanitation provision to a faecal sludge value chain.
