Water Experience

I am a social scientist who has been working for 20 years doing research in SubSaharan Africa, and since 2013 have been engaged in water resource management research and governance. Most recently I have developed GESI portfolio for Global Water Partnership to ensure the organisation integrates gender and social inclusion issues in all aspects of its programmatic and project work. I have mentored and trained women and men in the global south on issues of gender and social inclusion in the context of water resource management. I have authored and co-authored numerous articles and reports in this field.
