Montenegro: Capacity Development of Water and Wastewater Utilities in the Coastal Region
In 2003, after an ambitious PSP option failed, a Steering Committee was established to foster the foundation of a new regional water enterprise with the participation of seven municipalities located at the Adriatic coast of Montenegro. At the end of a complex negotiation process, VODACOM Ltd. a Joint Service and Coordination Company was created in 2005, with the aim to upgrade the services of the urban water utilities of the participating municipalities.
MACS was contracted for a continued improvement of water supply and sanitation services performance in the project region by supporting the newly founded water supply association VODACOM and for capacity development and training in the water utilities (ViKs) and by assisting in the implementation of the investment program.
