On the 30th of June 2010, the Nicaraguan National Congress designated Luis Angel Montenegro as first Water Minister of Nicaragua.
Mr Montenegro obtained a MSc degree in Water Management from UNESCO-IHE in 2010.
He said the following: "certainly it is UNESCO-IHE that gave me the technical background to assume my new duties as Water Minister of my country. It was an honor to have studied at UNESCO-IHE and certainly it was a great honor to me the day I took oath to have said that I am an UNESCO-IHE Alumnus.... I will do my best to make IHE proud of me, and to use this position for the good of my people, specially those in need."
