Exchange of good practices and twinning in terms of supply and sanitation
Exchange of good practices and twinning in terms of supply and sanitation
In 2021, within the framework of the agreement signed between the AECID and EMASEA (Empresa Municipal de Abastecimiento y Saneamiento de Aguas de Sevilla, S.A.) for the exchange of good practices and twinning in supply and sanitation, twinning began between the Sevillian company and the Honduran operator Aguas de la Sierra de Montecillos (AMS, created in 2019 with support from the Water and Sanitation Programme in the Comayagua Valley, funded by the Fund).
The twinning, which will last for three years, began with a first visit by the Sevillian operator to Honduras to complete the operator’s diagnosis. The meeting allowed the parties to begin exchanging experiences and advice, as well as to identify the areas to be strengthened, which include upgrading network management, counting unaccounted-for water, improving the institution’s governance and promoting service sustainability through an effective communication strategy to educate and raise awareness among the population on the correct use of water resources.

El apoyo a los operadores de agua es uno de los objetivos del Fondo de Cooperación para Agua y Saneamiento dentro de su apuesta general por el fortalecimiento institucional de los países con los que colabora. Con este objetivo, en el año 2020 tuvo lugar el acuerdo entre la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo, AECID, y EMASEA para el intercambio de buenas prácticas y hermanamientos en materia de abastecimiento y saneamiento en países donde trabaja la Cooperación Española.
