The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Undocumented Labour in Saudi Arabia The Case of Jeddah

In the last few decades Saudi Arabia and Jeddah has experienced a massive flow of undocumented migrants. This phenomenon is particularly interesting in Saudi Arabia because it involves migrants from different continents and countries, offering the opportunity of a cross-sectional analysis of their communities. This thesis will focus in particular on the case of Jeddah as a case study that serves as a representative microcosm for the whole country. For the first time, using a qualitative analysis, a researcher has been able to access some of the undocumented migrant communities living in the city in their own environment and, through face-to-face interviews, to gather their personal narratives about their lives as the “undocumented.” In particular, this research will analyse twelve communities chosen for being the most representative in the city of Jeddah: the African (e.g., Ethiopian, Eritrean, Somali, Sudanese, Chadian, Nigerian, Burkinabe, Ghanaian, and Cameroonian), the Yemeni, and the Filipino and Indonesian ones. Despite sharing the common experience of living as undocumented in the Kingdom, their relationship with the members of their communities, with the other communities and with the Saudi society are as varied as their backgrounds. This study also offers the opportunity of a discussion on the immigration policies adopted by Saudi Arabia and on their failure in tackling the problems of the undocumented migrants on its soil. In this regard, the study ends with recommendations for Saudi policy makers. Due to the sensitivity of the subject, the researcher guaranteed full confidentiality and anonymity to the interviewees from all the communities who accepted to share their experiences with him.Ministry of Higher Education, Saudi Arabia

Examining sanitation for urban inclusion, transformation and equity (SUITE) in sub-Saharan African cities

Approximately 70% of the world’s population will be urbanized by 2050. This will increase pressure on already poorly resourced sanitation systems. Solutions must be context appropriate, inclusive and sustainable but can be challenging due to different interpretations of these terms. The aim of the study was to examine current perceptions of inclusion and sustainability of sanitation stakeholders in sub-Saharan African cities in Malawi (Blantyre), Tanzania (Arusha and Dar es Salaam), Zimbabwe (Plumtree), and South Africa (eThekwini Municipality)

A transdisciplinary co-design and behaviour change approach to introducing sodis to rural communities in Malawi

Despite the increasing volume of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of solar water disinfection (SODIS) as a household water treatment technology, there still appear to be significant barriers to uptake in developing countries. SODIS potential is often treated with skepticism both in terms of effective treatment, and the safety of plastics used. As such it is often dismissed in preference for more accepted technologies such as ceramic filters and dose chlorination. We report formative findings of the WaterSPOUTT (Water – Sustainable Point Of Use Treatment Technology ) project (www.WATERSPOUTT.eu), carried out at the Centre for Water, Sanitation, Health And Appropriate Technology Development Centre (WASHTED) at the University of Malawi – Polytechnic from June 2016 – September 2018. The outputs of this formative stage will lead to the piloting of a SODIS system for 12 months (November 2018 – October 2019) in Chikwawa District, Southern Malawi. This posterhighlights activities pertaining to co-design process between the transdisciplinary research team, and potential end users. The process sought to ensure that the design is, socially accepted, locally adapted, and can be effectively operated and managed during field trials. We present results to date
