Association of Waterworks of Montenegro: IAWD Member of the Month
Contributed by:
Voice of the Danube

We proudly present the "Member of the Month" special feature series that provides insights into the work of our members, the successes they achieve, the challenges they overcome, and the thinking behind their IAWD memberships.

We introduce "Member of the Month" because we all know very well that IAWD's success is driven by lively communication, mutual support and shared know-how and experiences. The better we get to know each other, the more positive energy feeds into our community.

  • Good cooperation with different organizations/institutions/initiatives related to CD in Water Sector
  • Cooperation with all stakeholders dealing with the water sector in Montenegro and beyond

Do you have a Young Water Professionals (YWP) chapter in your association?

Yes.

Why should young people work in the water sector?

Bearing in mind the lack of adequately trained employees working in the water sector, we believe that with the involvement of young water professionals in the work of the Association, we can provide a bright future in this area. 

Why did you become an IAWD member?

Exchange of experiences, capacity building, cooperation with associations from the region and beyond, participation in various events whose organization aims at overall improvement in the water sector, etc.
