Event details
Description
The New Urban Agenda of the United Nations emphasises the importance of effective municipal enterprises for sustainable, climate-resilient and inclusive urban development. The Member States are committed to taking measures that will strengthen the performance capability of water and solid waste utilities.
German municipal utilities in both sectors have the potential and are willing to participate in the effort of strengthening the local delivery of urban basic services in partner countries. They possess knowledge, skills and experience needed on the ground. Through peer-to-peer partnerships (Water Operators` Partnerships – WOPs and Solid Waste Operator Partnerships – SWOPS) mentee utilities obtain field-tested know-how on operational, technical, financial and management aspect of urban basic service delivery.
In this session we will introduce the (S)WOPs approach, explore benefits, best practise and provide helpful advice on framing and financing WOPs and SWOPs for the benefit of your municipality.
