Technical Support

For decades, OiEau has drawn on its broad-based expertise and its position as an independent association centred on the general interest to provide technical assistance and advice to a diverse range of water-sector stakeholders (water agencies, basin organisations, industrial companies, governments, local elected representatives, etc.).

At a time of increasingly complex and pressing challenges that require the highest standards of organisational and financial performance and high-grade water and sanitation infrastructure, OiEau provides insights and analysis into this context and solutions tailored to your issues and priorities, drawing on its hands-on expertise in water-related occupations and skills spanning all relevant themes in the water, sanitation and waste sector.

Our presence on the ground in more than 80 countries demonstrates the sheer diversity of contexts in which OiEau’s methodology and expertise can make a difference. Our experts draw on status reports, and on technical, organisational, financial and skills audits, to produce prioritised, costed, value-added and sustainable recommendations.

OiEau also helps to connect and foster dialogue between relevant stakeholders. It disseminates the results of its expertise and carries out capacity-building and support activities over the short, medium and long terms.

Contracting assistance for local authorities, industrial companies, consultancies, manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and water and sanitation services.
Audits and expert analyses.
European project development and management.
Implementation of tests and pilots.
Identification of capacity-building needs and proposed practical measures.
