Alumni Voices
Hear from graduates of i-WSSM programs about their experience
Training at UNESCO i-WSSM was a turning point in my life. The NEXUS approach I learned here is directly applied to water management policy making in Kenya.
The Water-Energy-Food nexus training gave me an integrated perspective, enabling me to lead sustainable water projects for local communities.
The field-based practical training and global expert network are invaluable to my career. I am now applying new methodologies to Mekong Delta research.
