After 41 years of sharing his professional experience in WASH information management and information services at IRC, Cor has retired. Since 2019 he was IRC's Information Manager, specialising in MS Teams. He was editor of IRC's newsletter Amplify and was co-founder and co-editor of the IRC / USAID Sanitation Updates blog, which ran from 2008-2021. From 2016-2020 he was IRC's co-representative in the Board of the online Q&A forum KnowledgePoint.
In 2020, he organised the first ever WASH sector webinar on decolonisation. Next to decolonising WASH knowledge, he has a special interest in transparency and the right to information and ethical funding. Cor has been on short missions for IRC to India, Nepal and Uganda.
