Hello everyone!
What a pleasure to be part of this inspiring community!
I'm Dieudonne Ilboudo, a water and environment specialist currently working at the General Office of Agropastoral Development and Irrigation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animals and Fisheries Resources of Burkina Faso.
My work focuses on sustainable water resource management, soil conservation, land reclamation, and environmental preservation. I have over four years of experience in community projects promoting climate change adaptation, integrated water resource management, and the development of rice-growing lowlands.
I recently led initiatives on the management of invasive aquatic plants, transforming them into valuable resources such as compost and biochar to support local agriculture and the circular economy. I am passionate about drought resilience (Zai and Half-Moon Techniques) and ethical, inclusive, and innovative approaches to natural resource governance, and I strive to integrate local knowledge and community participation into all aspects of my work.
I look forward to learning, collaborating, and contributing to this dynamic network !

Hello!

It's a pleasure to be joining this community! I'm Liz Mwangi, an environmental social scientist with experience working at the intersection of gender, climate justice, and conservation across Eastern and Southern Africa. My research interests emphasize participatory, community-centered approaches to ecosystem management and well-being. Most recently I completed an MPhil in Environmental Humanities, with my research focusing on drought adaptation for agropastoral communities in Northern Kenya.

I'd also love to share with you my recent policy paper publication for drought practitioners working at the intersection of gender and agropastoral communities.

I look forward to engaging and interacting more on this channel.
