The International Water Association (IWA) announced that it has joined forces with the Vietnam Water Supply and Sewage Association (VWSA) to advance the future of water professionals in Vietnam and to exchange knowledge and technological insights internationally.
This partnership also sees VWSA as the hosting organization for IWA’s Governing Member in Vietnam. Governing Members represent IWA at national and regional levels and convene people locally to share best practices and explore opportunities for innovative water solutions.
“We are excited by this opportunity to work with the VWSA as an important partner, providing a bridge between our global network and water sector professionals in Vietnam. IWA’s Governing Members are vital to our work, so the role of VWSA as the host organisation for an IWA Governing Member in Vietnam is particularly valuable,” says IWA’s Executive Director Dr Kalanithy Vairavamoorthy.
IWA and VWSA will be working together to strengthen synergies, tackle the specific needs of Vietnam and Southeast Asia, and nuture the development of the country water workforce.
Within IWA, Vietnamese water professionals will be able to connect with global peers, showcase their expertise and develop leadership skills. IWA’s professional development and leadership program includes events, programs and access to industry publications.
