Lawrence

Ndere

Lawrence Ndere is a Geologist with over six years of professional experience
specializing in Hydrogeology and Exploration. He currently serves as a
Hydrogeologist in the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural
Development, where he plays a vital role in tackling water sustainability and
utilization challenges. Before his current position, Lawrence worked at Bravura,
where he focused on mineral exploration for valuable resources. Lawrence is a
certified Project Management Professional. As a mid-career professional, he is
increasingly focused on Strategic Management, particularly within the nexus of
water governance. His expertise in this area is further strengthened by his post-
graduate degree in Strategic Management.

A passionate advocate for social equity, Lawrence believes in promoting gender
equality through initiatives like the Green Promise Initiative, emphasizing the
importance of environmental conservation and sustainable water resource
management. He actively supports community participation in preserving water
resources through his volunteer work with the Manyame Conservation Trust.

I would embrace listening actively, learning from women
and other marginalized groups, and amplifying their voices
in Transboundary Water Resources. I believe that true
advocacy involves not only speaking out but also listening
and supporting those directly affected by inequality.
