AfriWatSan co-investigator, Dr. Robinah Kulabako, received a National Medal from the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, on an occasion to mark International Women’s Day, March 8th 2018, in Mityana, Uganda. The award recognises Robinah’s very substantial contributions not only to research in civil and environmental engineering and natural sciences but also to the education and training of the next generation of engineers and scientists. Robinah’s success and internationally renowned expertise in these traditionally male-dominated disciplines provides a clear example and inspiration for other women at Makerere University and beyond, that they too can succeed in science.
