Process
Developing the National Water Sector Plan


Commenced with the development of
Provincial Water Sector Plans, which
took place between October and
December 2006.
The NWSP process had a strong
“bottom up” component.
Process

The PWSP process undertaken at the end of 2006
had to respond to 5 major new challenges as
follows:
 A requirement to assess the needs of the sector
and not just work with MTEF budgets
 The need to respond to the broader (economic and
ASGISA) challenge of “Water for Growth and
Development”
 The need for interface between water resources
and water services
 The move to a 5 year plan, in line with other
government processes
 A requirement to integrate much more fully the
programmes and initiatives of sector partners
Process

The generic process (each province used a
slightly different approach) to develop the
PWSPs

Highlights from each of the Province’s Issues
captured
Process

An important milestone however is the
development of a good quality Financing

Water Sector Strategic framework
The Context: Implementing the National
Water Sector Programme
Introduction

Three fundamental objectives to the
integrated water resource management
strategy,

equitable access to water;

sustainable use of water;

efficient and effective water use.

Units of water management; the
catchment
Introduction

Water management priority is:



the water required to meet the basic human needs and
for alleviation of poverty, including water that is
required for the needs of the environment and enjoys

The use of water for all other purposes is subject to
authorisation;
managing the quantity, quality and reliability of the

HIERARCHY OF WATER SECTOR STRATEGY ALIGNMENT
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:

Water and economy are inextricably linked. Water for growth and
development means that water and related services are a part of the
equation of economic, social and environmental development.

The economic, social and environmental benefits of improved water
supply and sanitation and water resource are, therefore, essential
ingredients of the national strategic macro-economic decisionmaking.
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:

Improved water supply and sanitation services and water
resources management, including infrastructure, have
critical
direct and indirect impacts on a country’s
overall economic development and growth:



Access to Basic Supply and Basic Sanitation
Health & Hygiene:

Key Sustainability / Cross Cutting Issues
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:

Means the overall economic, social and
environmental benefits of investment
choices and benefits of alternative
funding sources must be carefully
addressed.
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:

An improvement in water supply and sanitation and in water
resource management since it boosts a country’s economic
growth and greatly contributes towards poverty eradication.

There is a high degree of awareness of the water-related
social and environmental challenges.

Resolving these challenges boosts a country’s GDP and
reduces poverty.
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:

This means that the costs for improved water supply and
sanitation and water resource management should be seen
not as a MERE COST but

as sound public and private investments and a key to a
strategy that boosts a country’s economy, enables
individuals and business to explore new income
opportunities and provides them with a fair chance to
prosper.
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:

Investing in water is good business since improved water
resources management and water supply and sanitation
contribute significantly to increased production and
productivity within economic sectors.

Meeting the MDG on water and sanitation will gain 322
million working days per year and the annual global value of
adult working days because of less illness would be almost
USD 750 million.
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:



Providing reliable and sufficient good quality water supplies
is critical to business development and reduces investment
risks.
Issues of water pollution in China and the loss of income to
business due to pollution at USD1, 7 billion in 1992 alone.
Reliable access to water resources now becoming a
competitive advantage for countries and attracts business
opportunities.
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:

There are considerable needs to meeting the public and private
investment requirements for water improved water supply,
sanitation, and water resources management.

Global estimates are high for investments that are required to
meet the MDG on water supply and sanitation.

In South Africa, the backlog in water supply and sanitation is
still significant.
NWSS: Water for Growth &
Development
What it Means:

Overall, it is feasible to meet the public
and private investment challenges.

The required financing for improved water
supply and sanitation and water resource
management is a sound public and
private investment strategy.

AsgiSA

Growth rate needed for South Africa to
achieve its social objectives is around 5% on
average between 2004 and 2014.
Government has set a two-phase target. In
the first phase, between 2005 and 2009,
Government seeks an annual growth rate
that averages four, 5% or higher.
AsgiSA
In the second phase, between 2010 and
2014, an average growth rate of at least
6% of gross domestic product (GDP).
AsgiSA
In addition to these growth rates, social
objectives require Government to improve the
environment and opportunities for more
labour-absorbing economic activities.
Eliminating
the
Second
Economy
More broadly, Government needs to ensure
that the fruits of growth are shared in such
a way that poverty comes as close as
possible to being eliminated, and that the
severe inequalities that still plague South
Africa are further reduced.
Eliminating the Second Economy
Joint Initiative for Priority Skills Acquisition
(JIPSA). Its job is to identify urgent skills needs
and quick and effective solutions. Solutions
may include special training programmes,
bringing back retirees or South Africans and
Africans working out of Africa, and drawing
in new immigrants where necessary.
Expanding women's access to
economic opportunities


In order to achieve AsgiSA's goal of halving
unemployment and poverty by 2014, South
Africa will have to pay particular attention to
the concerns of
women and youth.
With regard to women, the focus will be on
expanding and accelerating access
to
economic opportunities including skills
development and finance.
Broad Based Black Economic
Empowerment leveraged to support
shared growth.






Provisions for access to finance for women and
youths
Funding commitments for housing and small
business loans
Skills development commitments
Social responsibility commitments
Other commitments to enterprise development
BBBEE charters will be assessed from time to time
to establish how broad-based their impact has been

KEY CHALLENGE
WSS need to leverage the opportunities offered through
water sector programme in order to affect the attainment of
the economic growth targets and for the distribution of
wealth and promotion of broad-based development.
