Biography

Shakeel Hayat has diverse work experience in research, policy analysis and development practice with a multitude of national and international organisations in water governance and climate change. He completed his MSc in Climate Change and International Development from the University of East Anglia, UK and wrote thesis on "Power Politics and Water Governance in the Indus Basin". He has contributed in various peer reviewed articles and project reports on water governance including the Sustainable Development Goals. His current PhD project is a multi-disciplinary research revolving around institutional analysis of the Kabul River by proposing a (re)design of the governance framework at multiple geographic levels to deal with status-quo and achieve inclusive and sustainable development.
