Water Operators‘ Partnerships (WOPs) are peer support between two or more water operators, carried out on a not-for-profit basis. Through mentorship, WOPs progressively strengthen beneficiary utilities’ capacity and performance on management, financial and technical levels to implement operational and organizational changes that lead to better and more sustainable services.

The EU WOP Programme is a four-year initiative, led by UN-Habitat’s Global Water Operators’ Partnerships Alliance (GWOPA) and funded by the European Commission DG INTPA. Through the programme, between USD 250,000 and 450,000 is available for each of the 20 to 30 Water Operators' Partnerships (WOPs) projects of 36 months' duration.

Project proposals must be submitted to GWOPA by April 30, 2021. Application materials (including detailed information packet) are available in English, French and Spanish.
