Real results cannot be obtained without taking into consideration the way the process is perceived by the local population. Inhabitants should be accompanied by transitional coaching services. Only then genuine and perennial technical improvements can take place Interagua’s main asset consists in its holistic approach to project implementation that emphasises primarily a strong and continuous integration of local actors into the process, as well as a deep knowledge and understanding of the Guayaquil local context. By combining acute social sensibility and technical expertise, the company so far has managed to substantially improve the quality of life of Guayaquil inhabitants. Interagua promotes the use of adapted technical solutions and also puts the emphasis on rising awareness about the benefits of responsible behaviours (health and environmental education to communities, improved sanitary habits) based upon a city-wide environmental conscience. Interagua thus significantly contributed in bringing about long-term benefits to the local communities. |
