4th Global Water Operators’ Partnerships Congress

“Leave no one behind” has become a rallying cry for inclusiveness and solidarity in an increasingly inequitable world. The Sustainable Development Goals use this slogan at least seven times, as a reminder that only together will development be sustainable.

Sanitation and water utilities around the world are grappling with many common challenges. There is not only a need, but a huge opportunity for operators to share their knowledge and solutions with one another for the benefit of the billions of people worldwide that rely on these essential local institutions.

Water Operators Partnerships (WOPs) are solidarity-based peer support partnerships for water and sanitation utilities. They support public operators to make significant and lasting managerial, financial and operational improvements so that they can deliver quality services to all, sustainably.

The Global WOPs Congresses, held every two years in Barcelona, gather the growing global community of WOPs practitioners and supporters. The Congress is an opportunity for operators, together with the governments, financial institutions, academics, NGOs, workers and civil society, to share ideas, elaborate their knowledge, and develop solidarity-based collaboration.
