Introduction
 A water operators’ partnership (WOP) is any kindo association between water or sanitation operatorsconducted on a non‑prot basis with the aim o developingcapacity. These partnerships are being promoted as a wayo helping the world’s public water and sanitation operatorsto sustainably deliver adequate water and sanitation or all.This report presents three interesting Case Studies on water operators’ partnerships in Asia. The aim is toprovide readable and accessible reports on WOPs inpractice – how they work, and what kind o dierence theymake. The authors have looked at how the partnerships were set up, implemented and monitored; the changes andimprovements they brought about in the partner utilities;and their impact – both achieved and anticipated – onservice delivery, uture investment, and replication.These studies were conducted or the Global WaterOperators’ Partnerships Alliance (GWOPA), hosted byUN‑HABITAT, under our obligation as the United Nationscity agency to help the world meet the water and sanitationtarget o the Millennium Development Goals. As part o our World Urban Campaign or better cities, weconsider the partners doing this excellent and vital work ascity changers making a real dierence on the ground ormany, many households and in many countries.It also orms part o our remit to share and promoteknowledge and understanding o water operatorpartnerships. Together with GWOPAs growing onlinedatabase o WOP proles, the case studies help llthe huge knowledge gap around this important andhigh‑potential practice. They aim to shed light on how thepartnerships are currently carried out, what works, what doesn’t, and how they can be improved or greater impact and wider adoption.Indeed, the WOPs (including what some reer to as public‑public partnerships) are being implemented by a growingnumber o organizations around the world, and they varygreatly in their scope, orm and content.Those presented here are not meant to be taken asprototypes or best practices, but as a sampling o thediversity o not‑or‑prot partnerships possible between water and sanitation operators.It is our ervent hope that the excellent partnershipspresented here will inspire more operators to take upthe practice, learn some lessons, and also help nancialsupporters and acilitators build more eective partnerships.
