I also carried out long and short-term assignments for NGOs and research Institutes in Turkey and Ethiopia. In 2014/2015, I worked with FAO-SFE as part of the AgWA team on a number of projects dealing with water policy and investment in AWM. In 2015, I worked as a UN fellow at the Italian Agency for Development and Cooperation (AICS) in Cairo, as Program Officer. In the last year I worked with FAO HQ in Rome with the water and land department in support of transboundary water management project in the Senegal River Basin and on a water scarcity initiative in Jordan. Currently I am working as a consultant for the Italian Cooperation in Cairo as water and rural development expert.
