Through a World Bank Technical Assistance contract signed on November 2021, Corpora-Gov Principal started supporting the Palestinian Water Authority to establish the Bulk Water Unit in Gaza. The Unit will be a subsidiary of the National Water Company that will be created in the West Bank to manage bulk water distribution to 5.5 people. The assignment includes a comprehensive assessment of technical, financial, organizational, institutional, and legal issues. It also includes the design of an organizational structure, the drafting of organizational procedures, the design of the staffing plan, the drafting of job descriptions, the hiring of initial staff, and the support for the procurement of furnishings, equipment, and tools needed to have the unit in full operation.

The Bulk Water Unit will be in charge of the operation and maintenance of three existing small water desalination units, it will also control groundwater abstractions, and the supply of water from the Mekorot Company from Israel. The Unit will also operate large water desalination plants that will enter into operation by 2025 replacing groundwater sources that are at critical levels of exploitation. Corpora’s technical assistance to establish a Bulk Water Unit addressed both emergency needs and long-term reform by equipping the Palestinian Water Authority with institutional tools, staffing structures, and operational procedures that optimize both national sovereignty and regional cooperation. The Positive Sum Solutions Methodology (PSSM) guided Corpora-Gov’s work in establishing the Bulk Water Unit by aligning institutional reform, service delivery, and political coordination into a unified, value-generating framework. By supporting the Palestinian Water Authority in building a professional, autonomous unit under the future National Water Company, the project created value for national institutions, local communities, and cross-border actors. PSSM was especially critical in balancing operational needs with sensitive political and resource management dynamics—ensuring that the new Unit supports sustainable groundwater use, reliable desalination operations, and cooperative supply arrangements, ultimately benefiting people across Gaza and the West Bank.
