00:00:00
excellent good this the unit here welcome so actually my
00:00:06
first question at this year will be to you not sure
00:00:09
where to see you back yes um but you'll come from
00:00:12
a really unique background actually in finance and also then watch
00:00:17
and of course that's that's highly have relevance for those in the room and and for
00:00:22
session itself but today we wanted to talk a bit about uh the challenges and any opportunities
00:00:29
uh that we see in uh i wanted to start off with you because you have
00:00:31
such a unique perspective coming from a finance background and then now working in the war
00:00:36
sector so could you share with us first uh it just what's you know that the
00:00:42
top challenge that you see for the sanitation sector and and what is that the top opportunity
00:00:49
oh so i work from a regular sleep your it oh yeah sounds good good i'm thinking uh which i could be
00:00:57
there but um oh it was a really good question um
00:01:01
i'll speak first the boosters also speak for from doctors are
00:01:05
so not really but the very basic proposal to use actually real work you have
00:01:10
a global there's junior you you want to do something that you feel does is lacking
00:01:14
in your specific about uh whether it's artificial whether it's with whatever or does it was
00:01:20
specific sort or sorta were doing was so we're just a a lot or do we
00:01:26
want to change something that's there we want to build something that's better we want
00:01:30
to provide something lurks better um so you have the street but the when you when
00:01:36
you have the three when you want to actually exercises do we have to talk to
00:01:38
people actually care about this tree because obviously if you had when you will need it
00:01:44
oh but then you run into those mobile greater than is the well you'd start
00:01:48
off with one that came up could you please see what i see you could
00:01:51
you please feel what i feel was about to do it could just get it to work hard to do but but i'm i'm i'm just see what i see
00:01:58
but i will tell you own your business was low grade four years about what was low grade of all these
00:02:03
other issues that come in our that just doesn't make you couldn't of little bigger people swallow whatever whatever the case
00:02:09
may be oh other other the do you also have the global market to compete with ritual just completing it was
00:02:16
was the government but you're trying to compute all visibly but you should also to make you feel like you're less that
00:02:21
um but from the files and so obviously it's it's it's it's it's understandable or it will be with
00:02:27
their money and they want over just to make sure that the money was don't want to make sure that
00:02:32
their money is is is breeding enough it'll be should work it so the body has to be used to
00:02:38
specific ways so ah that's the biggest challenge is how
00:02:41
to breed those two together idea about dream we've resource
00:02:46
so those um those will have the resources you to how so i think that would be the
00:02:51
biggest opportunity i you know if you can read a conception of god those two together and say okay
00:02:57
how do we start the score was decisions or what your role is a bit i'm a lot can
00:03:01
come from them the right we're not at the level also work out called or exclusive available or you
00:03:08
know or or you can you know we're we're totally you really don't want to or or try but
00:03:12
unable to human waste into into it for two was uh we we can be and we should you
00:03:18
it may take some time where we already knows that people willing to people
00:03:22
don't even have accessed what will i don't know what a flashing more looks like
00:03:27
right we have so many used as as we become too or states are we
00:03:31
don't know what to do with the because the conference that will call back grow
00:03:36
so that's where we are invaluable or we're trying over to fix that so if we're gonna have
00:03:40
this conversation will occur we show the bible says or where we get into those rules that was the
00:03:46
this is what we need right holders to we can give you innovation coming later but lose hope was
00:03:51
accused at least achieve the very real foundation i think that's the biggest which is about to come up
00:03:58
thank you excellent here so i wonder how then from is there to to roberta to you because you know
00:04:04
the european space agency and the teleport coalition is is not to players you would um
00:04:10
usually suspects to to be partnering together but i think
00:04:14
you know your your colleagues everyday with whom we've worked quite
00:04:17
close closely really saw something in this opportunity and and
00:04:21
i think i there's there's insight there in terms of the
00:04:25
the challenges that that we as a sector actually face in terms of sanitation uh as a whole um could you
00:04:31
speak to that a bit more thanks it and sophie see what about the trial which i would like to say
00:04:37
so the the challenge a easy that in the
00:04:40
the reality say and in to add different toward the
00:04:45
okay so i yeah yeah when we are going to the saccharine they'll be there and and we're talking
00:04:53
european space agency immediately people i think about set a
00:04:56
lie yeah to about a clammy thirty we should on insulin
00:05:01
but it is also the ad that for it to the use of saturday night can for the benefit of this
00:05:06
society this is the downstream applications so these easy actually
00:05:11
our team is so what to be i do we in
00:05:14
and that the the big challenge that we have the is to basically
00:05:18
to create a daily income between there it's eight now is it do what has sectors yeah but uh
00:05:24
it's a in the health education in stock so to create the link
00:05:29
i think it is is a big challenge back the easy way to you know put two eighty
00:05:34
opportunity because they they are it's a and for example
00:05:37
adjust to tell you of in in the in the sanitation
00:05:41
yeah i said as i pictured said activity for example of uh
00:05:45
the either we de sac can yeah in for example the
00:05:49
space station they are a lot of expanding that so that
00:05:52
put occurred to technology data for example or treatment all the way he said that
00:05:58
i think can bring the tucson uh it's a innovative solution also on the yeah yeah
00:06:05
so there are many more opportunity and they had that to explore so i think it
00:06:11
is easy d. y. and yeah and why we now where t. with high it's a
00:06:16
to a and these i think it's our ad task and not to to talk to b.
00:06:22
b. c. different community if it tied to
00:06:25
establish e. k. back today shape and one collaboration
00:06:29
i think you're right uh so building on this you know the the importance of partnership the importance of coalition which
00:06:35
i know is it you know we have three themes to the to this event um in terms of innovative finance
00:06:42
coalition building and and peace insecurity and and so
00:06:45
we wanted in in today's conversation at with these experts
00:06:48
to to touch on each of those and send yeah i'd like to come to your next because you
00:06:53
you spend your day uh working for pfizer and i'd say maybe your nights with
00:06:57
the two that shouldn't but um do you work with the collision your personal capacity
00:07:03
and i was interested you come from of again a very different world and i think this is one of the unique things about that will
00:07:08
put coalition is we we attract and and can convene really unique individuals
00:07:14
like yourself and can you share with us a bit about you know why
00:07:19
you're part of the coalition why you you take your personal time um to engage
00:07:25
uh interactivity is and and really where's the opportunity that you see uh that that attracted you and
00:07:32
thank you alex um so i think there are two two elements here and um first is really a personnel
00:07:39
connection because i come from columbia and i have seen
00:07:42
firsthand but if you know poverty and how how it looks
00:07:46
and what he actually it is there but i have also seen the opportunities
00:07:49
and sometimes you wonder like how can it be that this is still going on
00:07:53
and then on the other hand as you say i spend my day you know in my my working in actually got health issues
00:08:00
and i was always surprise to realised how
00:08:04
um people can work in files in topics that normally why would thing should
00:08:10
be still fully aligned like sanitation and health solvent i let's very uh happy
00:08:16
to accept the invitation that you guys the to me to to help you
00:08:20
think through a little bit more oh how to strengthen that connection within the work
00:08:25
of the causation and to bring some um relationships and ideas of what we're arias that we could explore
00:08:32
immediately in my mind came all the world of infectious diseases these these
00:08:35
happen even before copy it so the first thing that we discuss was about
00:08:39
all the disease uh you know monitoring this really is of what's going on uh
00:08:44
with diseases um and the and how we could connect that to what we're seeing in
00:08:49
the sanitation wowed um and that there is a a topic that is really top
00:08:55
flight for you know the the low level community these days and it's anti microbial resistance
00:09:00
uh you know how are we going to monitor that hardcore we going to provide the then i think
00:09:05
that like these one many other issues that could be address if
00:09:09
we just could put our heads together and try to connect the dots
00:09:12
um incorporate has demonstrated you know we'd sanitation measures to truck
00:09:17
you know origins of infection or trucker things are going on that you know it is
00:09:21
possible i still don't understand how is it that you know we're not more you know
00:09:26
collaborative in these areas so that's really uh the driver
00:09:30
that has me investing some personal time in my personal
00:09:34
capacities to support these conversations although i confess i'm not an expert in sanitation at all that i'm learning a lot
00:09:41
excellent so i mean mark in from what we've seen and and we have
00:09:47
clearly the the distinct advantages seeing and number of businesses uh
00:09:51
in this landscape that are working in the sector and some
00:09:54
really outstanding innovations your is um and and from the team
00:10:00
is i think one of the most game changing and scalable
00:10:05
uh technological innovations particularly as it ties in with the health
00:10:09
the health story um i would love to hear you know
00:10:14
i of course you see the opportunity um but even in your conversations have you know
00:10:20
with funders with with partners um you also don't come from the sanitation sector um which
00:10:27
is an asset perhaps um what what do you what do you hear
00:10:33
and what are you finding what what is the you know your greatest
00:10:36
challenge as an entrepreneur or in in a fabulous team to to scaling
00:10:41
to scaling your operations so that as per but the presentation really um
00:10:46
when you try and sell something and sell i don't necessarily mean just
00:10:51
for you know financial gain you know you have to show real benefit
00:10:55
so you're real challenges businesses should um assess what the opportunity use
00:11:00
but it can't just be for that financial gain treated sanitation because
00:11:05
you've got a situation where you've got potentially millions and millions of people who you know
00:11:10
deserve good quality infrastructure in system the same as we all do you know what the government's
00:11:15
not that the um people to work on or don't have the money you know so
00:11:19
you have to show value proposition that impacts their needs so when we look particularly at the
00:11:26
the the model that we have with a platform and intelligent platform but can automatically pull data
00:11:30
from multiple sources and then assess that in terms of that impact in the sort of multimodal manner
00:11:36
so we have to address the lowest common denominator
00:11:40
elements so if i can build a system that produces
00:11:45
no one disease that produces a by product which has a
00:11:49
commercial value which is what we don't so we when we when
00:11:52
we treat the human waste we use a simple process and
00:11:56
what about those is it basically converge the organic matter into charcoal
00:12:00
okay i'm not a charcoal then can be sold you can be used as fuel it can be used
00:12:05
to sequester so you two can be used as a soul mate remembering to come uses for toys does doesn't
00:12:10
doesn't interest of it can be useful so that then has real value one of all suppose for example of
00:12:15
the local governments it moves the needs to manage the waste in the first place so we reduce the cost
00:12:21
we produce a point product we address a problem so now we've got something as an entrepreneur you're going in
00:12:27
in with with the solution that is fixing the problems
00:12:31
it's removing cost at source it's removing disease at source
00:12:36
and then the big challenge we have which is really quite a bishop i mean our our system
00:12:40
is very ambitious you know with the very low level foundation of what could be very very large just
00:12:45
um what we're trying to do there is then to assess that impact
00:12:49
so we use that observation i'm weather data to look at an important
00:12:53
so we're assessing the pathogen load in a given environment i'm assessing what
00:12:58
that means to the local people were looking at him told to used
00:13:02
we're looking literally how how about so in in south africa for example
00:13:06
in a lot of the informal settlements they have community pollution blocks where the
00:13:10
of male and female towards that may serve hundreds of people like literally hundreds
00:13:14
of people um and we're looking at polls told blocks in terms of usage
00:13:19
so how we're gonna use them how many use them and that has a big impact them on
00:13:22
the value proposition back into the into the into the government so when the government's we approached them
00:13:28
we have to say we've got a value proposition but not just for one thing it's gonna take six seven
00:13:34
eight boxes and the key thing about the platform we have is that we can monitor and metric that we can
00:13:41
we can assess what those impacts are and even at a very low
00:13:44
level stage initially we construct a car like those data sources and that's where
00:13:48
the value which was an entrepreneur and your question any longer and like we
00:13:53
we can come in with the solution that shows starters multiple facets to it
00:13:58
and that it has value in many different areas and if each of those areas are for the developed properly then
00:14:04
it has forever impact so we've we for example i mean we've had this conversation when we finish this you know
00:14:11
when you when you walk away if use if you save ten thousand shun controllers you know code
00:14:16
you know fantastic you know both what's the impact you know i like and also if you saved
00:14:22
the local health infrastructure you know ten years ahead in here actually
00:14:26
which when you've got sixty million people you know so they're the things
00:14:31
excellent and i think you've tapped into something there that ms here
00:14:34
i'm i'm keen for your perspective on as well um this silo
00:14:38
thing you know we we and instantly you mentioned it to um
00:14:42
i think it's one of the you know from the conversations that that
00:14:46
we get to be a part of me here consistently the war
00:14:49
sector it's there there's how do we communicate with the public health
00:14:53
ah how do we communicate with agriculture how do we
00:14:56
communicate beyond ourselves and and vocabulary has a lot to
00:15:01
do that too with that we we like to lean
00:15:03
on our jargon but um i there is an opportunity um
00:15:08
in front of us i think particularly um with the
00:15:12
importance and the the unity that we're seeing behind um
00:15:17
climate change and and the the yeah the unity behind that and
00:15:22
the story that water and sanitation and and pollution from sanitation systems
00:15:28
the plane that we were talking manages yesterday over lines with um
00:15:32
a accrue from noah and and to the perspective the sort of
00:15:36
underlying issues that the lack of sanitation has
00:15:41
across the s. t. g.s across our global global
00:15:43
calls i mean it is true the foundational but how do we tell that story how do we
00:15:48
how do we reach um those those other individuals easier um i'd i'd love your your
00:15:54
thoughts and you know really on the grounds as you speak to government officials and and not
00:15:59
just that the ministry of watch but you know the ministry of finance ministry of environment you
00:16:04
know getting beyond a kind of the water and sanitation people how do you tell your story
00:16:16
what are what are welcome to our government should is the is the biggest key right if you if if you're coming with
00:16:22
just with the so should you comment on how to solve a problem or coming to so i'm not just talking about you
00:16:27
know a file to see your ma just talking about something goes to get rid of actually talk about something tangible something that
00:16:33
can be realised the hero spoke about obviously the dynamics also
00:16:37
are different from government to government horror stories of our previous government
00:16:42
but they really care about education but much but the new government wants to hear about edition the want to
00:16:47
be able to go probably also rubber problems or interpretations
00:16:51
about the competition becomes easy but the first the news
00:16:54
solving people's problems like here of the government we have of course problem of
00:16:58
different social problems so we come in and say we console those two issues
00:17:03
he was to give us the way to do that was destructive your postings the conversation becomes easier
00:17:08
but obviously different opponents have different about it i don't wanna talk about my government and i abide
00:17:14
a lot here but the the conversations so i have become easier we're able to you know it's
00:17:19
use much more wallflower because of that so i was because of a problem with good to go
00:17:26
which is which is what we're just hearing from mark as well and and i think we
00:17:30
we see there's an increasingly we're seeing in the sector a positioning of
00:17:35
water and sanitation as a solution provider and and and really learning to frame our our
00:17:41
pitches to frame our evidence uh in in the language of those other sectors i was i
00:17:48
thinking about that the three pillars of this session and and
00:17:51
and the peace and security you know one of the the first
00:17:56
things i'd seen in terms of the the conflict in ukraine was
00:18:01
that ukraine is one of the world's largest expert is uh for
00:18:03
lies are and all ready you know as as other countries
00:18:08
brace for the impacts of of the invasion and what that will
00:18:12
mean for it the production within ukraine um how you know what
00:18:17
we see in the for the lies or market we've already seen
00:18:20
uh the price of phosphorus in the last year go from e. d. uh
00:18:23
per time two hundred in eighty what that means for global food supply is
00:18:29
is in is at tech um well we see now a given given the situation you can
00:18:34
we'd we'd hope to have or in with us also for the panel on that that was one
00:18:38
of the questions i really wanted to hear his thoughts on and how um even domestically he's preparing
00:18:44
for for the shifts that will come in policy
00:18:47
uh around energy and around uh nutrients production and
00:18:53
cindy at that to come back to you in terms of public health and and particularly anti microbial resistance
00:18:58
is we last week we're just having a conversation um
00:19:02
with at some leading mines on this in terms of
00:19:06
how do we more collaborative the shared data in this
00:19:09
annotation economy how mark was speaking about you know all
00:19:12
of the data and the metrics that they're collecting from their system as that relates to public health i think
00:19:19
data sharing and accountability uh in general is
00:19:24
has been a barrier for the sanitation sector um
00:19:27
from your your global health perspective and also from and
00:19:31
your background in just in terms of multilateral engagement um
00:19:36
what do you see see coming before sanitation and
00:19:40
public health uh in terms of the data ecosystem
00:19:45
um i think the potential is huge but i think they're going to have
00:19:51
to overcome also huge challenges because and
00:19:55
and call it has just illustrated that um
00:19:59
there is a lot of mistrust in certain types of places that could
00:20:04
nice use whatever date that not only had the sanitation but anyway that's all
00:20:08
how are we going to position on what we do
00:20:11
in a way that demonstrate the value and the real impact
00:20:15
and also that save guards privacy that is you know
00:20:19
a fully compliant with whatever regulations and that in a way
00:20:23
that creates a really trust from people and that's not okay not a problem for the for the sanitation and health
00:20:30
uh kind of sectors is really a problem of the world so we really need to be smart and try to
00:20:35
be ahead of the car uh i think that in
00:20:38
terms of what is the value proposition ah on the other
00:20:42
issue we have is that this is really a complex a landscape right in itself
00:20:48
sanitation and in itself have ah that fish that to say it's they're huge ethical issues
00:20:54
so all we really need to put our heads together to try to
00:20:58
lay the the basics first to understand um you know what is realistic
00:21:04
uh in the short medium or long term i really believe
00:21:07
super conscious of all those challenges because we cannot be naive
00:21:11
that because there are opportunities that going just although it uh it
00:21:15
just doesn't work like that ah on either individually the sectors anyway and
00:21:20
even more together so i think we need to
00:21:23
join forces in really understanding very well the challenges
00:21:27
and i'm making sure that we are really working from a very realistic point
00:21:31
of view um in the way we approach the solutions that you want to propose
00:21:35
absolutely and and mark i know that that your project is your i'm preparing to
00:21:41
to launch it inside after you're you're dealing with these questions on a daily basis
00:21:45
and and this is part of your your partnership with a university there
00:21:49
as well can you speak to it for a moment about some of the
00:21:52
you know the journey that you've been on and connecting with the communities and educating the
00:21:57
communities about the day to use and um and that yeah i just it's usually important so
00:22:04
we have to do a lot of ethics courses um
00:22:08
what what we've done is for example when more monitoring the uh the the total
00:22:13
blocks sweeper void would be providing internet access so when people uh are using the
00:22:18
bathroom they can serve you know it's a you know to use you know um
00:22:23
but what we're going to do is when they access the internet the ability given questions
00:22:27
and a lot of given presentations on what the system is doing for them so part of our solution is to present that to the users
00:22:34
so they will see what the impact is to take the point back to your sorry the big big question everything's links
00:22:40
you know and this is the problem when you have a sully load approach
00:22:44
you don't realise that every single thing is linked our actions as humans are linked
00:22:49
um what will emerge with some of the systems like ours that will involve is that you will see what all's correlations are
00:22:55
and if you understand them then it will help you educate what the impact is on you when you're important no dash in
00:23:02
is it in itself is very complex because this daily machine
00:23:05
learning thing can be very very powerful and reviews cindy says incorrectly
00:23:10
can complete it's you know you know nasty things can happen if
00:23:13
people have control over over the bottom you know one one thing
00:23:17
so you have to really tell people what it is yet you're doing what you're doing it and how we're doing it
00:23:23
and then related to their love so for example were in in the in the in the in guys and we have
00:23:28
another project we're monitoring say the the toilet blocks um we
00:23:33
want to be able to uh in college women for example so
00:23:37
if if we can win the women and when the children will when everybody else you know for example
00:23:42
because it i don't know if again it's it's it's it's a horrible fact put in locations which annotations perl are women so
00:23:49
far you know disproportionately um like in india for example um
00:23:53
a lot of women uh don't use patterns customer freight been assaulted
00:23:56
so they may go all day local they will use the told so we have horrible instances of like you know
00:24:01
your new tract infections illness as a result of that show and and insert africa lot we're gonna use tolls feel track
00:24:08
so what we're doing is actually monitoring those toilets in terms of usage you know
00:24:12
and then reporting back to the people what we're doing and what you were doing it
00:24:15
and one of the things trying to do is bring a bit of security it with like uh the university
00:24:19
of causing the taller partner um we're doing storyboard with them so we're we're doing videos that going you tube
00:24:25
uh we have to the zulu i'm english which is from uh put it tells the people what we're doing and how he was gonna impact them
00:24:31
i treated women and then we we we've been talking about maybe going to the schools to tell the kids what it is we're doing
00:24:37
because you know if your child come home says mom dad you know i've got this did you know they told us that it is a great thing
00:24:43
you know you when the but you must bring the people with you you must you must inform the more to
00:24:48
doing you have to engage them i knew most assuage any fears that they have that you're doing it for some
00:24:54
purpose older than their benefit has to be completely clear but this is for their benefit to help them along
00:25:01
thank you ms ear when one final question to you just
00:25:05
before we wrap it i think you know live clean has uh
00:25:09
there's a unique opportunity clearly in in connecting with your customers and and really
00:25:14
seeing the impact on their lives can you speak for a moment about
00:25:18
how you've built that relationship you know where there are leave clean locations
00:25:22
in market places and things like that how how to us as mark
00:25:27
was saying how do you how do you build that that relationship with them
00:25:34
um i i figure something out for us as ah start from
00:25:40
oh oh oh just right when when you when you
00:25:45
do get humid but almost some about yeah keep going almost
00:25:50
okay persevere her arm so we persevere persevere persevere um so when you when
00:25:56
you do the product of a new release it to the market especially something that
00:25:59
people might use to you have to have this patient in you to keep
00:26:02
going and keep speaking below with your work so that should he how's is some
00:26:08
mm bow out of english um um um um you
00:26:11
well also have to do the same thing will do incorporate local languages are get uncomfortable with the product
00:26:17
right the more comfortable you get with the product that the well the contrast or
00:26:20
product of the what interested probably the usual product a little user productivity to depend on
00:26:24
your product so we have to understand their language come down to a level where we
00:26:28
have gotten steadily with each other do about trust i'm from there just take it off
00:26:35
excellent thank you we we did get that answer thank you at um
00:26:40
wonderful roberta i that is currently right right before we finish um there is as
00:26:47
you said you spoke about the opportunities uh moving forward and and it's specifically with uh
00:26:53
the european space agency and i know there's there's some things in the pipeline specifically for
00:26:57
space for sanitation and bites at can we
00:27:01
hear a little bit more about um the
00:27:05
the vision that you see i had the opportunity that you see specific leave between sanitation and space
00:27:13
the make up with that so if you see what we have to say it just would lie
00:27:19
to come back to the gate because i say we need to be the so we want to supermarket
00:27:25
add businesses and we see that the ass sustainable okay so space yeah
00:27:31
