The kickoff meeting of the Service Providers Stakeholder Group got underway within the framework of the 13th Session of the United Nations World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku.

The event has been organized in collaboration with the UN-Habitat Urban Basic Services Section, the WUF Stakeholder Group for Service Providers, and public utility operators.

By bringing together various service providers, the event establishes a dedicated platform for utility companies, service operators, and key partners. The primary objective is to break down sectoral silos and strengthen institutional coordination among housing provision, land-use planning, and infrastructure development systems.
