GWOPA is the Convener for the session.

One of the enabling factors to scale up WOPs in Europe is to address

Human resources management, especially for more complex capacity-development projects. There are many ways to deal with this issue within an operator or within multi-partner cooperations. Indeed, the competencies/skills needed can be located in different utilities (one is better in one thing, another in another thing). This session will be the opportunity to share different experiences and proposals on this topic.
