Regional offices
IHA's greatest strength is its global network, allowing us to have a direct presence 'on the ground' through our partners and members. This helps us understand the opportunities and challenges that affect hydropower's development, as well as ensuring our collective voice supports local objectives for the sector. IHA's Regional Team is composed largely of secondees from members, giving young professionals from around the world an opportunity to gain valuable international and advocacy experience.
