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 Provinces 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.

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 countrys 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 W4GD
• 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
  countrys 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 countrys 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 countrys
  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.

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.
