Project description
During the WOP regional workshop on social responsibility for water operators held in Montevideo between the 26th and the 27th of March of 2014, a conference organized by OSE, GWOPA and WOP-LAC and supported by the World Bank and AECID, were attended many representatives of operators and institutions in the water sector and sanitation from 14 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain.
