What excites you most about your PIRE research?
The involvement of a multidisciplinary team of researchers in trying to understand water and human security from different perspectives and the willingness to take into account the social science dimension of water are some of the notable aspects of the PIRE research.
What’s the most valuable aspect of your research for the people and communities?
I am still trying to figure out how I can be useful to the project by identifying a researchable area related to the project and by identifying sources of funding. One research issue that I am currently working on is the relationship between gender and water governance which has broader implications for water and human security in the region.
