  3. Provincial Water Sector Plan • The PWSP replaces the old Provincial Sector Strategy (PSS) • It consists of the (old) PSS, plus a 5 year workplan • There are however a number of new requirements • The PWSP sets out what the sector hopes to achieve in the next 5 years and how it will do it • It is essential that it is developed via a highly collaborative process

  4. New challenges and paradigms in the 2007/08 – 2011/12 PWSP • 5 Year timeframe • Integration of water resources aspects • Incorporate full sector requirements in terms of budgets etc. • Determine (realistic) needs, not just MTEF figures • “Water for Growth and Development”

  5. Key deliverables • Revised strategy/strategic framework • 5 year workplan • Standard workplan format • A participative, collaborative, IGR process • 2 funding scenarios: MTEF and “realistic needs” • Integrating water resources aspects • Integrating programmes and strategies of sector partners • Signing off by Premier/MEC: 2007??
