WEDC Research Projects The Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) focuses its research on solutions for people in low- and middle-income countries in the fields of water, sanitation, vulnerability, emergency and conflict Water, Engineering and Development Centre, WEDC
WEDC focuses its research on solutions for people in low- and middle-income countries, helping to provide evidence-based answers to important questions – not only about what needs to be done to improve basic infrastructure and essential services – but also how to go about it. Knowledge is central to progress. It's not just the generation of new knowledge through research, but using existing knowledge to the full, and working seriously on dissemination and uptake. WEDC's research work ranges from studies of specific technical problems to those that integrate multi-disciplinary perspectives: social, health, technical, economic, financial, institutional, and environmental.
