Megi Marku (She/Her)

   

"I am determined to challenge existing norms and promote inclusive approaches that empower marginalized communities and women, bridging the gender gap and fostering youth participation for a future where water is a catalyst for social progress and environmental resilience."

 

Water Experience

I am a hydrotechnical engineer. I have a BSc, and I am currently finishing my MSc. I am part of the Young Water Professionals of The Water Supply and Sewerage Association of Albania (SHUKALB). I am working on business ideas on water and creating deals with municipalities and water companies nationally and internationally. I have advocated for youth and water during the Regional Forum on Sustainable Development for the UNECE Region 2023 at the SDG6 roundtable. Being a woman in STEM and the water sector, I try to promote more girls and women to take an interest in these fields.
