We are delighted to welcome the new RWSN Chair of the Executive Committee, James Origa, Ph.D.Listen in as James shares the motivation behind his work in the water sector and his vision for supporting the network in this capacity for the next three years.

Dr Origa is an Engineer and Public Policy Expert with extensive experience in Water Development, public policy analysis, and Humanitarian assistance.

Since 2009, he has worked from local to global level in the most rewarding career towards delivering Water and Sanitation services to those who need it most across Africa - from Kenya, Somalia, DR Congo, Tanzania, and Ivory Coast. Over this period, he has built core skills and leadership capabilities in developing strategic policy priorities, leading research, supplying timely and actionable policy advice, and coordinating policy initiatives and public services interventions.

He has served with various organisations including World Renew, Oxfam, Mercycorps, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and Private Consulting firms. He is currently a Water Supply and Sanitation Specialist at The World Bank.

We thank our former Chair, Tommy Ka Kit Ngai from WaterAid, for the immense value he brought to the Network and wish him all the best from the bottom of our hearts.

The RWSN Executive Committee members, Theme Leaders, and Secretariat look forward to taking this next step and continuing working towards our vision of a world in which all people enjoy safely managed water services that are resilient and sustainable.
