Sarah Dickin

Sarah Dickin was Team Leader for Sanitation and Health at SEI Headquarters. As a Senior Research Fellow SEI Sarah co-led the SEI Initiative on Sustainable Sanitation, which comprised research, policy engagement and capacity development focused on improving understanding and uptake of sustainable sanitation, including environmental, institutional and social dimensions.

Her research interests at SEI included the links between water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and health and well-being in low-income contexts, including development of robust tools for measuring social and gender outcomes, and improving understanding of a wider range of environmental exposure pathways in rural sanitation. Dr. Dickin also studied links between health, climate change, and sustainability, particularly related to the contributions of green space and nature-based solutions to well-being in cross-cultural contexts. She coordinated SEI’s participation in the Planetary Health Alliance.
