Trainings
Commissioner Luis Ruano highlighted that from January to date training has been provided to mayors and municipal employees.
In this period, more than 2,100 municipal employees, technicians and members of the municipal councils and mayors have been trained through the different courses and training processes that are carried out in Copresam, because we understand that there are many issues that are municipal competence, but that require support from the Executive to strengthen the technical teams and their capacitiessaid the official.

Strengthening of OMAS
Within the framework of the Great National Crusade for Nutrition, Copresam reiterates that it continues to create, strengthen and inaugurate OMAS in Guatemala.
The idea is that each municipality has an OMAS to analyze the issue of drinking water, garbage and wastewater, through the methodology, regulations, technical teams and territorial planning. With this we will continue this year opening and strengthening the OMAS, the official pointed out.
