WUD Talks: Carlos Batarda encourages development professionals to go beyond the comfort zone

Who are the people behind development projects? What stories can they share? In this Water and Urban Development (WUD) Talk, ADB's Carlos Batarda encourages development professionals to go beyond the excel sheets and project documents and into the everyday lives of the local communities they serve--and gain enrichment from shared human experience. Hosted at the ADB Water and Urban Development Forum (AWUF) 2025, WUD Talks is a series of five-minute presentations from ADB staff on their personal experiences in the water and urban development space. Watch, listen, and be inspired.
