Job Description
Introduction
The Global Water Operators’ Partnerships Alliance (GWOPA), hosted by UN-Habitat in Bonn, Germany, spearheads a global movement promoting Water Operators’ Partnerships (WOPs). These not-for-profit, peer-support arrangements empower well-performing water and sanitation service providers (mentors) to support other providers (mentees) in building capacity and enhancing service delivery.
The Project
This project seeks to strengthen the capacity of two Ukrainian water utilities—Zaporizhzhia City Municipal Water Utility and Krivbassvodokanal (Kriv Rih Municipal Water Utility)—through the WOPs approach. It addresses the critical need for improved access to sustainable water and sanitation services in the face of infrastructural degradation, war-related damages, and climate-related vulnerabilities. The project also aims to foster replicable WOP models across Ukraine, in partnership with UNICEF Ukraine Country Office.
