Consulting Assignments

Since its establishment in 2021, Corpora-Gov has delivered consulting assignments that support governments, development partners, and private-sector actors in strengthening institutions, improving service delivery, and unlocking private-sector-led growth. Our work has focused on helping public authorities use their regulatory powers, assets, and policy instruments more effectively to catalyze investment, improve utility performance, and promote inclusive local economic development.

Empowering Palestinian Women Through Vertical Hydroponic Farming

October 2024- September 2025 - USAID - BREB Project grant - $229,000

Empowering Palestinian Women Through Vertical Hydroponic Farming aims to address agricultural challenges in the West Bank by introducing sustainable, high-yield farming methods. Led by WEDO and supported by Corpora-Gov and partners Vertical Harvest from Wyoming and Green Wadi from Israel, the project trains 30 young Palestinian women in vertical farming, focusing on skill development in agriculture, business management, and sustainable practices. The one year program includes training on farm setup, crop selection, technology integration, and business operations, concluding with hands-on experience in harvesting and marketing. This initiative fosters economic independence for women, strengthens local food security, and promotes environmentally conscious agricultural practices through efficient water and land use. The project is designed with a robust sustainability plan, leveraging renewable energy and cooperative models to ensure long-term viability, with expected results including enhanced technical expertise, new business formations, and improved food security in Palestinian communities. The Positive Sum Solutions Methodology (PSSM) is applied in this project by aligning gender empowerment, climate resilience, and cross-border cooperation to deliver shared value for all stakeholders. Rather than prioritizing one objective over another, the project integrates economic opportunity, environmental sustainability, and regional collaboration into a unified model. This approach ensures that beneficiaries, local communities, and partner organizations all gain from the initiative—demonstrating how inclusive, climate-smart solutions can drive systemic and lasting impact.

Leveraging Economic Investment Through Alliances Climate-Resilient Infrastructure (LEIA)

2024-2027 - $1.2 Million

In May 2023, Corpora-Gov's Concept Paper was selected by USAID, leading to a collaborative co-creation process. By August 2024, Corpora-Gov was awarded a sub-grant to initiate the Leveraging Economic Investment Through Alliances Climate-Resilient Infrastructure (LEIA) Activity, with DevWorks as the prime grantee. Corpora-Gov will implement three foundational pillars within this activity, each contributing to a comprehensive strategy: Pillar 1: Transformation of Industrial Parks into Eco-Parks: This pillar will focus on implementing eco-friendly management practices to minimize ecological impact and promote sustainability. As part of this effort, Corpora-Gov will also develop a strategic investment plan dedicated to fostering eco-infrastructure within these parks. Pillar 2: Targeted Investment Promotion Strategy: This strategy will center on near-shoring, with an emphasis on attracting investments from Asia that seek proximity to U.S. markets. Pillar 3: Local Economic Development Strategy: This pillar will aim to create linkages between local enterprises and activities within the industrial parks, strengthening local businesses by providing them with access to broader markets and resources. Additionally, Corpora-Gov’s approach will include urban and community development in the areas surrounding these parks, extending the positive impacts beyond their boundaries and contributing to increased employment opportunities, thereby helping to reduce undocumented migration to the United States. Corpora-Gov applied Positive Sum Solutions Methodology (PSSM) in LEIA by creating a win-win-win approach transforming industrial parks into eco-parks, promoting near-shoring investment, and creating local employment opportunities. The strategy generated benefits for international investors, local governments, and surrounding communities—advancing climate resilience while curbing migration pressures.

Turning Industrial Parks into eco-parks

Three parks have been initially identified to be part of the LEIA project including Puerta del Istmo, Michatoya Pacífico and Synergy. All three have been recently created and represent the largest group of industrial parks in Guatemala.

Rural Water Services in Mali

2022-2025 - Less than $ 50,000

Corpora leader has been brought on board by SEGURA Consulting, a subcontractor partnering with Tetra Tech to provide support to the USAID Anka Jico project, a groundbreaking initiative focused on enhancing governance through the introduction of sustainable management practices. The assignment will serve as the cornerstone of the project's governance component, exerting a pivotal influence and representing an invaluable compass guiding the communities set to receive vital investments in water distribution, vegetable gardens, and wastewater treatment facilities. The far-reaching implications of the introduction of sustainable practices will bring knowledge and light the way for these communities to harness their resources sustainably. Spanning over four years, the Anka Jico project is set to catalyze a transformation in rural water and sanitation services. A central tenet of the project involves fortifying the capabilities of key stakeholders within rural Malian communities. This empowerment extends to the farthest corners at the village levels, fostering a ripple effect of positive change. Similarly to its other projects, in Mali, Corpora advanced governance reform in rural water services through inclusive planning and capacity-building at the village level, ensuring that the introduction of sustainable management practices benefited both government agencies and local communities. In each of these initiatives, Corpora-Gov used Positive Sum Solutions Methodology (PSSM) to transcend zero-sum trade-offs—designing systems and structures where all actors gained, and where climate, development, and institutional objectives were aligned for lasting impact.

CORPORATIZATION OF WATER SERVICES IN NINEVEH GOVERNORATE - IRAQ

2023-2025 - $650,000

In collaboration with idrc-Jordan, Corpora has launched a visionary three-year initiative aimed at reforming water services within Iraq's Nineveh Governorate. Supported by funding from the International Red Cross, this endeavor stands to elevate water management services in this pivotal northern region through the introduction of commercial practices and advanced administrative systems. The project primary objective is the enhancement of water management practices and the introduction of business practices aiming at financial sustainability. The transformation will entail the introduction of methodologies and state-of-the-art management systems. By integrating these approaches, the project seeks to achieve a comprehensive reformation—one that spans financial, accounting, asset management, inventory, and customer service domains. Central to this transformation is the integration of these multifaceted aspects into an all-encompassing resource planning IT system, often referred to as an ERP. Through the collaborative efforts of Corpora and idrc-Jordan, a platform for streamlined, accountable, and customer-centric practices will emerge, serving the dual purpose of enriching customer experiences while nurturing sustainable water management practices. The corporatization of water services in Nineveh Governorate reflects Positive Sum Solutions Methodology (PSSM) through the integration of financial sustainability, improved customer service, and institutional modernization. Rather than focusing solely on infrastructure, Corpora aligned government, donor, and community interests by implementing a comprehensive system that simultaneously supports accountability, service quality, and operational resilience.

BULK WATER UNIT IN GAZA

2021-2022 - $160,000

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.
