Who is Jennifer "Jenna" Davis?

Jennifer ("Jenna") Davis is Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Center Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University. Her research interests focus on the intersection of economic development and environmental management, with particular emphasis on cost-effective, sustainable water supply and sanitation (W) service delivery in developing countries. Current research projects focus on decentralized, private-sector delivery of W services in several countries; sustainable sanitation solutions for middle- and low-income urban areas; synergies between W planning and economic development strategies (e.g., agricultural productivity); and links between water, sanitation, and health. She has conducted fieldwork in more than a dozen countries, including most recently the Philippines, Mozambique, and Bolivia.
