Research Fellow, Water Policy

Nat's research background is in pro-poor service delivery, financing and policy, and the political and technical dimensions of water security.

His work at ODI ranges from researching the links between WASH services and peace- and state-building in fragile contexts; to writing policy briefings on water security metrics; to coordinating ODI inputs to a 4 year, multi-country EC research project on irrigation in Africa.

Nat previously worked for WaterAid in the UK and Nepal, on a number of policy-oriented research projects around financing water supply and sanitation in developing countries. He joined ODI after a period with the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank, Nairobi helping research and write the second round of Country Status Overviews – produced in collaboration with over thirty countries, for the African Ministers’ Council on Water.

Progress-linked finance: A study of the feasibility and practicality of a proposed WASH financing approach

Projects - May 2011 to August 2011
Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor's (WSUP) evolving experience over recent years has led them to propose a financing model which they have initially denominated "triggering" or "progress-linked finance" (PLF). Under this model, the key institutional and business actors in city-level WASH development move towards readiness for major scale-up financing through capacity development, WASH planning and institutional strengthening. ODI's Water Policy Programme will provide an informed scoping study to assess theoretical feasibility of the progress-linked finance (PLF) model and uptake by development actors, developing a number of options for how PLF might work in different contexts.
