Contract

The Global WOPs Alliance was established in 2009 when the first Charter was issued. An important piece of the Charter, the Guiding Principles, remains at the heart of the Alliance and untouched, but the overall governance framework needed an update and some clarifications which were added in the new version drafted in 2020. The new Governance Framework now endorsed will help the Alliance attract more members and strengthen its base of active practitioners engaged with water and sanitation utilities towards the achievement of SDGs 6.
