Describe WOPs activities
The WOP was launched with a focus on improving raw water quality in catchment areas. A diagnostic visit was conducted by ONEE in April 2013, leading to a joint assessment of needs. A two-year work plan was developed and approved by all partners in January 2014. The framework agreement was signed in January 2015.

Before the WOP officially started ONEA purchased some of the suggested material (rubber boat, sampling equipment), buffer zones around reservoir (stone delimitation and tree planting), three new ponds for fish nursery under construction.
