The 4th Global WOPs Congress will take place next year!

The need for well-performing operators is more critical now than ever as we deal with growing inequalities around resources and access, a fast-changing climate, and an enduring pandemic.

The Global WOPs Congress brings together like-minded organisations committed to advancing learning, exchange and peer-support between water and sanitation operators and their partners, and building global solidarity. More about previous congresses.

This 4th edition will take place at a critical stage in the Decade of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals and New Urban Agenda and will mobilise support for water and sanitation operators...
