Public Utilities Management Consultant

Nora holds a Master’s degree in Comparative Political Science and Sociology from the University of Bordeaux and Sciences Po Bordeaux. She also gained valuable experience at the G-EAU research unit (Water Management, Actors, and Uses) at INRAE Montpellier before joining COGITE in October 2023. Her academic background has given her a strong understanding of the organization and operations of local authorities, which she now applies to supporting the management of public water and sanitation services—particularly through assistance with competence transfers, audits, and public service performance monitoring.

At COGITE, Nora supports local authorities by:

• Assisting in the structuring of their public utility services (technical, financial, administrative, and legal aspects), notably through various studies related to the transfer of water/sanitation responsibilities under the NOTRe law

• Supporting the implementation of Public Service Delegation procedures and, more broadly, Public Procurement

• Conducting audits and multi-year monitoring of public service delegation contracts
