Senior🎓
Top SchoolKees Blok is an experienced advisor in integrated water management with over two decades of international practice supporting governments, donors and agencies across Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe. He designs and manages rural development and agricultural water projects, specialising in stakeholder-driven policy implementation, institutional alignment and project cycle management for clients like IFAD, KfW and GIZ. Based in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region, he combines field-tested advisory work with part-time lecturing at Wageningen University, supervising BSc/MSc theses and shaping the next generation of water professionals. Kees is skilled in Integrated Project Management and donor coordination, and he has repeatedly led project design, start-up, supervision and evaluations in complex political and environmental contexts.
