The Collective Leadership Institute, the Arabian Countries Water Utility Association (ACWUA), the Arab Network for Environment and Development (RAED), and the German Water Partnership (GWP) were the partners of ENTIRE.

Through built capacity in dialogic change, the goal was to establish technical working groups on utilities management, capacity building and training, management of water resources, water and health, utilities’ reforms, and benchmarking.
