  3. Overview of the NDP alignment to outcomes

  4. Part 1 OUTCOMES 6

  5. DWS PARTICIPATION IN OUTCOME 6 • Outcome 6 is coordinated by the Department of Public Enterprise • DWS is a member and participating in the following Outcome 6 committees • Interdepartmental Task Team • Data forum • Quarterly reports are submitted to the Department of Public Enterprise

  6. DWS Programmes contributing to Outcome 6 Sub-outcome 4: Maintenance and supply availability of our bulk water resources infrastructure ensured • In addition to the development of the Waterberg, the National Infrastructure Plan includes SIP 18: Water and sanitation infrastructure, which provides for a 10-year plan to address the estimated backlog of adequate water to supply 1,4 million households and 2,1 million households to basic sanitation. The project will involve provision of sustainable supply of water to meet social needs and support economic growth. Projects will provide for new infrastructure, rehabilitation and upgrading of existing infrastructure, as well as improve management of water infrastructure.

  16. OUTCOME 7 OUTPUTS VS DWS INDICATORS

  17. Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) Programme Progress

  18. Rain Water Harvesting Plans for the MTSF

  19. NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN • The National Development Plan states that:-hectares of land under irrigation should be expanded by at least 500 000 hectares by 2030 while goal 5 of the post 2015 Sustainable development goals compels us to “ensure Food Security and Good Nutrition” • The NDP further recommends that the country should substantially increase investment in water resources and irrigation infrastructure and further improve the efficiency of existing irrigation systems • The Financial Support to Resource Poor Farmers and the licensing Programmes are the two programmes used by DWS to contribute towards the realisation of the above stipulated goals

  20. Progress in financially supporting the Resource Poor Farmers to enhance access to water

  21. MTSF Plans for the Resource Poor Farmer Programme

  22. Volume of Water Allocated to HDI`s

  23. Licensing Plans for the MTSF

  24. Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant Programme(RBIG) • The sustainable development goals compel us to achieve universal access to water and sanitation • While priority Number 5 of the National Development Plan also emphases the for increased access to quality basic infrastructure and services in rural areas • The NDP envisages to ensure that by 2030, all south Africans will have affordable access to sufficient safe water • Responding to that, DWS through RBIG is implementing water infrastructure projects which seek to increase access to water for human consumption and economic development.

  25. Progress made in the first two quarters of the 2014/15 on water supply to rural areas: Regional Bulk Infrastructure Programme(RBIG)

  26. RBIG Project projections for the MTSF
