Water Experience

My experience in the irrigation and water sector began with a transboundary gender perspective in the Puyango-Tumbes Binational Basin, working and developing projects with the Gender and Water Alliance. I was later admitted to the Global and Water Partnership, forming part of the Steering Committee - Peru Chapter. I have also developed projects related to SDGs 5 and 6 in 2013 and 2014. I am currently consulting in the context of water and sanitation and disaster risk management.
