Motivation/Commitment to the GSC 

I am a full professor in chemical engineering with extensive knowledge and experience in water and sanitation. Additionally, for the last 4 years, I have been heavily involved in the WASH sector with an emphasis on the humanitarian dimension of it and I have been working closely with INGOs.

I strongly believe that with the 15 + years of experience I have I will be able to guide within a team the direction of SuSanA towards providing sustainable and resilient water and sanitation services to many communities especially those who are vulnerable and marginalized, which is currently a desperate need in the Middle East.

Moreover, as an academician with a lot of practical experience gained through leading and participating in many WASH projects, I believe I can emphasize the role of research in providing an evidence based WASH programming and the importance of national capacity building in this sector.
