Each training course and CD program has been meticulously designed to equip participants with the essential skills and knowledge required to navigate the challenges in the water supply and sewerage sector effectively.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage all stakeholders within the water sector, including member water supply and sewerage (WSS) companies, trainers, partners, to leverage this resource. By actively engaging with the training calendar, stakeholders can access learning opportunities that are specifically tailored to address the capacity development needs identified for the WSS companies.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a detailed overview of the calendar, providing specific information about each training course and CD program, along with related registration details:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>APRIL<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>GUIDELINES FOR MEMBERS OF THE SUPERVISORY COUNCIL OF THE WATER AND SEWERAGE COMPANY<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>25-26 April 2024, Tirana<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>9-10 May 2024, Tirana<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GUIDELINES-FOR-ADMINISTRATION-COUNCIL-MEMBERS-OF-WATER-SUPPLY-AND-SEWERAGE-UTILITIES-300x224.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/>In light of the 2022 Water Sector Reform initiated by the Albanian Government, which focuses on the regionalization of water supply and sewerage services, regional water supply and sewerage (WSS) companies now operate under different governing structures. Consequently, there is a pressing need for further training to ensure that members of the supervisory board of these regional WSS companies can effectively fulfill their roles. This training course is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of individuals appointed to serve on the supervisory board of a regional WSS company. The goal is to equip participants with the tools and insights necessary to address the day-to-day challenges of supervision and contribute to the continuous improvement of their company\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>This course caters to professionals from water supply and sewerage companies, with a particular focus on individuals newly appointed to the supervisory council of a WSS company, administrators of water supply and sewerage companies, and anyone interested in water and sewerage services in the Republic of Albania.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shukalb.al\/?p=2059&amp;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>For more information and registration for this training course click HERE!<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>MAY<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>RCDN TRAINING ON CAPITAL INVESTMENT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE WATER SECTOR<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Training 21-22, May 2024, Pristina, Kosovo<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Peer Exchange 23-24 May 2024, Pristina Kosovo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7689\" src=\"https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Capital-Investment-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Capital-Investment-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Capital-Investment-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Capital-Investment-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Capital-Investment-120x90.png 120w, https:\/\/shukalb.al\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Capital-Investment.png 1056w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The objective of the training is to enable participants to carry out complex infrastructure investment projects, and to provide the participants with the necessary framework, general knowledge, and skills in regard to carry out necessary preparations for infrastructure investment project implementation, develop all elements of future infrastructure investment projects, and implement all stages of an infrastructure investment project.
