  3. Previous Treatments • Process • Substance • Timeframes • Discussion

  4. PROCESS

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. Process • The generic process (each province used a slightly different approach) to develop the PWSPs • Highlights from each of the Province’s Issues captured

  8. Process • An important milestone however is the development of a good quality Financing Proposal to be included in the submission to the European Union for Masibambane III.

  14. AGENDA Introduction Background Masibambane Purpose Water Sector Strategic framework The Context: Implementing the National Water Sector Programme

  15. 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

  16. 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 priority of use by right. • The use of water for all other purposes is subject to authorisation; • managing the quantity, quality and reliability of the nation’s water resources, water services is provided in a manner consistent with the goals of water resource management.

  21. 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 decision-making.

  22. 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: • Human Development

  23. NWSIS: Water for Growth & Development Driven by : • Considerations and Approach of W4G&D • Macro Policies in Programme of Action and MTSOs • Water Sector Strategies: WR & WS • Transformation of the State • Institutional Arrangements • Key Sustainability / Cross Cutting Issues

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. 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.

  29. 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.

  30. 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.

  33. 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.

  34. AsgiSA In the second phase, between 2010 and 2014, an average growth rate of at least 6% of gross domestic product (GDP).

  35. In addition to these growth rates, social objectives require Government to improve the environment and opportunities for more labour-absorbing economic activities. AsgiSA

  36. Eliminating the Second EconomyMore 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.

  37. 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. Eliminating the Second Economy

  38. 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.

  39. 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

  40. 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. • KEY CHALLENGE
