 I work for the water department of Sao Paulo State and I choose water diplomacy course in order to improve my skills to find a solution from the conflicts that are emerging for competing uses in my country. I'm from Guatemala and I came here to AHE to learn about new tools and new solutions of water management to be able to implement it in my country and be able to face the issues of water scarcity. I chose the water cooperation and diplomacy program because I wanted to gain skills that would help me to manage water conflicts from the local to the global level. Ultimately I would like to facilitate water decision-making processes that are fair and inclusive and give voice to all stakeholders. I work in Ghana and what we do is to we provide potable drinking water through a borehole drilling and most of the time in my field of work I come across situations that also require me to use some conflict resolution skills to try to mediate the situation and try to come to an amicable solution and so being in AHE helps me to get the specific skills and tools that I need in my field of work.
