The Global Water Operators’ Partnerships (WOPs) Congress is organized by UN-Habitat through the Global Water Operators’ Partnerships Alliance (GWOPA).
The Congress is the foremost gathering within the UN system for water and sanitation operators. It brings together operators, local and national governments, development partners, and stakeholders to exchange knowledge, inspire action, mobilise support for WOPs, and strengthen capacities to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals – particularly universal access to water and sanitation.
Previous editions have brought together participants from over 80 countries, including public and private water and sanitation operators, their associations, community-based service providers, labour unions, city networks, civil society organizations, I/NGOs, financial institutions, academia, development partners and independent experts.
