Motivation/Commitment to the GSC
Having been embedded in both policy and research environment as well as experience at the community level with regards to project planning, design and implementation, I am highly motivated by the fact that my participation as a GSC member will provide the opportunity to contribute to the development of SuSanA activities in the developing countries particularly the adoption of biogas technology to improve sanitation at the household levels.
