Benjamin Agbemor
Assistant Professor

I have interdisciplinary training in planning, sustainability, and geography, and over a decade of experience as a development practitioner. I have worked with public sector institutions and non-profits on projects that focused on strenghtening government systems and localizing the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 6. Part of my work also invovled the development of indicators and guidelines for monitoring water services in rural and small towns in Ghana. My current research is focused on water (in)security, water governance and policy, and WASH-customer services. I am also interested in exploring how financing could be targeted to optimize the outcomes and impacts of WASH interventions.

At UW-Whitewater, I teach introductory and upper-level courses, including:

• Global Perspectives (CORE 140)
• Introduction to Sustainability (ENVSCI 222)
• Global Environmental Challenges (GEOGRPY 252)
• Sustainable Development and Human-Environment Geography (GEOGRPY 452)
