The aim of this WOP is to develop a medium-term Performance Improvement Plan, and implement a short term action plan
Objectives
Developing PiP (Performance Improvement Plan)
Activities:
The first step in the WOP is to conduct an assessment of the recipient utility, carried out jointly with the mentor operator. The assessment process will be actively inclusive and will solicit the input of a broad cross-section of utility staff, as well as important external actors from civil society and the municipal political sphere.
The assessment will aim to identify 1) existing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats; 2) Capacity strengths and needs; 3) values and priorities, and 4) potential solutions.
Based on the assessment, GWOPA will assist the partners in designing their partnership.
The WOP work plan will define the WOP objectives, targets, expected resource contributions, results, and anticipated timeline.
WOPs shall aim to include both learning and process targets.
The implementation phase is where the bulk of the technical assistance happens. This phase is carried out by the partner utilities, with GWOPA facilitation. GWOPA will also ensure regular monitoring of the WOP by the operators and support them to carry out corrective measures as needed.
