This Wednesday, ANDA inaugurated the first workshop for the exchange of experiences and advice, within the framework of the cooperation program in water and sanitation between entities in the Basque Country and Central America.
“One of the main axes of the institution is quality assurance and control. They will visit the ANDA Central Laboratory, Torogoz, the western one and our early warning laboratory. Transparency generates trust and this, at the same time, generates investment”, said the president of the autonomous community, Rubén Alemán.
The objectives of the visit are to show the work that is carried out in the water quality laboratories, exchange experiences between ANDA staff and experts from the Basque Country, as well as receive their technical assessment from management and good laboratory practices.
Experts from the Basque entities Aguas Municipales de Vitoria Gasteiz (AMVISA) and the Bilbao Bizkaia Water Consortium (CABB) also participated in the inauguration.
“It is a pleasure that the heart of the program is the exchange of knowledge. The program is being a success in the countries where we are developing it”, affirmed the representative of Central America and Cuba of Euskal Fondoa, Aitor Joseba Landa.
With the technical evaluation, opportunities for improvement and good practices will be highlighted that strengthen the internal processes of the institution’s laboratories, improve performance and achieve greater certainty of the analyzes, which will allow decision making.
Within the agreement, a project is being developed to improve and expand the drinking water system in the municipality of Jocoro, in the department of Morazán.
