This Water Operator Partnership (WOP) between Stadtentwässerung Dresden GmbH (SEDD), Zweckverband Wasser und Abwasser Vogtland (ZWAV), Fernwasserversorgung Elbaue-Ostharz GmbH (FEO) and Luapula Water Supply and Sanitation Company Limited (LpWSC) was funded under the pilot phase of the German Utility Platform for Strengthening Partnerships of Municipal Utilities Worldwide at the beginning, from May 2022 until July 2023. The aim of GIZ’s support was to consolidate the partnership and to set up a basis for thematic collaboration. Later, it became part of the European Union WOP programme of the Global Water Operators’ Partnership Alliance (GWOPA).
The current report describes key project characteristics, progress made under the GIZ pilot phase, outcomes in each of the working packages and the evolution of the partnership strength.
The work packages are:
- water production (FEO),
- water distribution (ZWAV),
- sanitation (SEDD).
