An agreement was reached earlier in 2009 to transfer the hosting of the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) Secretariat from the World Health Organization (WHO) to the service provider arm of the United Nations, UNOPS. The transfer of host operations is occurring in stages and will be completed by 31 December 2009. UNOPS, which is based in Copenhagen, has a brief to expand the capacity of the UN to implement its peace-building, humanitarian and development operations, and it undertakes project management, procurement and other support services to United Nations agencies and other international organisations.
In related news, the WSSCC announces that it has been accepted as a member of the World Water Council (WWC).
