Dominic O'Neill

Dominic O'Neill is the Executive Director of the United Nations' Sanitation and Hygiene Fund (SHF), which advocates for innovative, market-based solutions to the global sanitation crisis. He emphasizes the urgent need for decentralized sanitation technologies, particularly in countries like Kenya, where traditional sewer systems fail to reach a significant portion of the population. O'Neill's work focuses on unlocking private investments to create a 'sanitation economy' that can improve public health and foster economic growth, while also addressing the environmental impacts of poor sanitation.
