She is co-founder of the not-for-profit engineering consultancy Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cawst.org/en/about-us/results )〕 She has held senior positions in the petroleum industry, received national and international honors and was President and CEO of CAWST until September 2011. == Career == After graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering from McGill University, Baker worked in the petroleum industry for over 20 years in executive positions with Norcen Energy Resources Limited, Conwest, Alberta Energy Company and was a member of the board of directors for the Alberta Oil Sands Technical Research Authority.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cawst.org/en/about-us/the-team/board-of-directors )〕 As a career change, seeking to apply engineering principles to the problem of supplying clean water and sanitation worldwide, she enrolled in the Masters Environmental Science Design programme at University of Calgary. She undertook her master's project on biosand filter technology with Dr. David Manz and they then co-founded CAWST in 2001 to transfer this technology to poor countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cawst.org/en/about-us/history )〕 In 2011 she stepped down from her role as CEO of CAWST but continued to work on research projects for CAWST. The goal of CAWST is to provide education, technical training and consulting in water and sanitation to the NGOs and government agencies working with the poor in developing countries to remedy the lack of engineering expertise within the sector. Many organisations are involved in this area but Dow Baker's vision was for an organisation to provide training as long-term capacity building rather than installing infrastructure. In 2005, as a member of the World Health Organisation's Implementation Working Group of the WHO International Network to Promote Household Drinking Water and Safe Storage, Dow Baker presented CAWST's approach at a WHO International Symposium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.who.int/household_water/bangkok2005_presentations/en/ )〕 In 2010 CAWST was awarded the Special Prize by the Fonds Suez Environnement Initiatives Institut de France, an award that recognises achievements in effective sanitation, waste and water management in developing countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prix-initiatives.com/site/GB/PAST_COMPETITIONS/2010_AWARDS/SPECIAL_PRIZE,I24614.htm )〕 The philanthropist David P. O’Brien has supported CAWST for a decade, after learning about its work from Dow Baker. By 2014, CAWST had supported 793 implementing organizations in 68 countries, whose projects have resulted in 9.3 million people gaining access to better water or sanitation.〔〔 It is based in Calgary, Canada. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camille Dow Baker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
