Juste is an expert in the governance of water, sanitation and hygiene services. He has two decades of professional experience in West Africa, particularly in Francophone countries. He is currently the director of IRC Burkina Faso and the director of IRC's regional programme in Africa.
Juste's ambition is to transform the water, sanitation and hygiene sector from inefficient systems at regional, national and local levels into strong government-led systems capable of delivering universal and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene services in poor countries by 2030 (SDG6.)
He focuses on building or strengthening governance systems at both local and central government and regional intergovernmental levels. His work involves generating, testing and advising on governance solutions for key stakeholders.
