1. Dr. Conrad Wanyama
   Conrad is an Oxford DPhil student in based, for most of his studies, overseas at the KWTRP. His research is on, “Understanding level of risk and readiness of Kenya’s health facilities and health system to extreme weather events” (i) identify and critique tool(s) for assessing Kenya’s health facilities to determine their vulnerability and risk to extreme weather events, (ii) review evidence to propose what elements of the health system, when assessed, can characterise risk and readiness of health facilities to extreme weather events for low and middle income countries such as Kenya and (iii) ultimately map and engage with stakeholders to co-develop a fit-for-context tool(s) for assessing level of risk and readiness of Kenya’s health facilities to extreme weather and climatic events.
