Context
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) published the Cabinet-approved Second Edition of the National Water Resources Strategy (NWRS2) in June 2013 after an extensive process of engagement with sector partners. As the NWRS2 was developed by the water sector, it spells out the need for a collaborative, consultative, action-orientated approach to implementation. By March 2015, engagement with key water use sectors had led to the development of sector-specific NWRS2 implementation plans for agriculture, energy, forestry, business & mining, local government, water resource protection, research & innovation and skills sectors. The Operational Support Directorate is pleased to present the Progress Report on the implementation of Chapter 15 of the NWRS2.

Number of Schools reached on youth education programmes
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) 2020 Vision for Education and Training Programme (VfWEP) initiated in 1996 is still on-going and the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) entered by the DWS (Department) with the Department of Basic Education for the implementation of the programme is still effective. The Department is fully implementing the programme in all nine provinces and currently almost 1843 schools we reached countrywide on DWS VfWEP programmes. Programme Impact From June 2013 to date the Department has awarded bursaries to learners across the country participating in the following Vision 2020 programmes: Public Speaking = 27 bursaries awarded to grade 11 learners South African Youth Water Prize = 65 bursaries awarded to grade 12 learners Aqua Enduro = 39 Bursaries awarded to grade 11 learners Outcome In addition the Department has awarded 30 primary and secondary schools around the country R150 000. 00 prize money during 2014 and 2015 for participating in Baswa Le Metse competitions structured into five categories i.e. Poetry, Music, Praise and Poetry, Poster and drama. Also 10 schools which came first in each category were awarded media classrooms sponsored by MTN during 2014 and 2015. To ensure sustainability of the programmes, DWS has partnered with the Wildlife Environmental
Society of Southern Africa (WESSA) to implement an Eco-School project. Currently there are about 39
previously Baswa Le Metse winning schools participating in the Eco-Schools project. WESSA has
managed to register 73 schools across the country on the Eco-School projects. Most schools on WESSA
programme are actively conducting water audits and subsequently implementing water projects.
WESSA is also engaged in re-writing Baswa Le Metse competition guideline material and officials from
DWS Provincial Offices have being workshopped on the materials. In addition, WESSA is currently
reviewing education support materials to aid school curriculum on water and sanitation issues.
Number of Water and Sanitation sector Career Exhibitions for Schools
Energy, Water Sector Education and Training Authority (EWSETA) career awareness
One of the mandates of the Energy, Water Sector Education and Training Authority (EWSETA) is to
promote careers in the water and energy sector in line with the support offered by the Sector,
Educational and Training Authorities (SETA). To date the EWSETA has distributed almost 10300 career
guides and hosted 12 career awareness events which featured careers in the water sector. The highlight
WATER SECTOR SKILLS AND CAPACITY

includes the participation of EWSETA during the 2nd Annual Green Youth Indaba on 30 September 2015
to promote green jobs available in the water sector.
Number of TVET Colleges capacitated as Water and Sanitation Sector Training
Providers
The EWSETA is in a process of developing a qualification to capacitate TVET lectures in the water and
sanitation field following a research project “Educational needs analysis of educators in the water at
TVET colleges” commissioned in 2014 with Stellenbosch University which indicated that there is a
limited number of TVET lectures in the water and sanitation field. The qualification will also be
developed by Stellenbosch University.

Council for Trade and Occupation
The Framework Programme for Research, Education and Training in the Water Sector (FETWater) phase III is currently underway. The aim of the programme is to enhance cooperation in terms of skills and capacity building within the sector through training networks in order to achieve the goals of National Water Resources Strategy 2 (NWRS 2). Following the FETWater III inception workshop held on 22 & 23 January 2014, the second national workshop was held on Tuesday, 23 February 2016 to assess progress to date and below is the current status of established networks:
Water Resources Planning Network
This network is led by Ms Caryn Seago from WRP Water Consulting. The network will focus on
developing the qualification for Water Resource Planning profession. So far the network has managed
to map-out the occupational title using job description from various Water Boards (WB) and Catchment
Management Agencies (CMAs). Although the job title isn’t yet definite the network has proposed
occupational title of Water Resources Practitioner/ Manager/Specialist. The network has already
conducted its profiling meeting with Community of Expert Practitioners (CEP).
Water Resources Infrastructure
This network is headed by Mr Mervyn Jordan also from the WRP Water consulting firm. The network
will develop occupational qualifications for the new Water Infrastructure Practitioner and Water
Reticulation Officer occupations. So far the network has provided a rationale for the development of
both qualifications. The network is in the process of arranging the profiling meeting with CEP members
to map the qualifications.
Water Use, Services and Sanitation
This network is headed by Ms Adie Vienings from Water Concepts. The network will focus on piloting the completed Process Controller (OFO code 313201) occupational qualification and also develop the Sanitation Coordinator (OFO code= 341205) qualification which has being registered on the OFO framework. Local Government Sector Education and Training Authority (LGSETA) is in the process of appointing the Qualification Development Facilitator (QDF) for the development of the Sanitation
9
Coordinator Qualification. The CEP members who developed the Process Controller qualification are currently developing the assessment specification for the qualification.
Institutional Management and Water Governance
This network is led by Professor Thokozani Kanyerere from the University of Western Cape and will develop the Water Liaison Practitioner qualification. LGSETA is in the process of appointing the QDF for the qualification. The CEP group to guide the qualification development process has being constituted.
Water Monitoring and Assessment
This network is led by Mr Brian Delcarme from the University of Western Cape. This network has being
tasked with developing a special occupational qualification from the already completed Water Quality
Analyst occupational qualification (OFO code = 213306). The network will focus on developing the
Water Regulation Practitioner occupational qualification to combine the function of water use
authorisation, compliance monitoring and enforcement. The overall aim of this Network is to build the
capacity of the water sector professionals on practical applications of water resource monitoring and
assessment (compliance and enforcement purposes) for improved decision-making and better
management of water resources. So far the network has constituted the CEP group to guide the
qualification development process. The network has already conducted pre –scoping and scoping
meetings with the CEP members and mapped out the qualification development process including
timelines.
Regulatory Requirements
This network is led by Mr Ashwin Seetal from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
The network will focus on three National Water Resources Strategy II strategic actions – namely: (i)
Water Use Authorisation + Compliance and Enforcement; and, (ii) Drinking Water Quality and
Wastewater Discharge Regulation. The following diagram depicts the network activities.
10
Figure 1: Regulatory Framework network activities
The network will focus on developing the Water Use Specialist (OFO code 214301) occupational
qualification targeting individuals with background training, knowledge and experience in specific
disciplines such as scientific, engineering, economic, financial etc. to provide specific-discipline inputs
on the impacts of specific water users from the water quantity and quality perspective. The network
will also develop Water Allocation Officer (OFO code 335905) occupational qualification to ensure that
all processes and procedures are followed in the course of water allocation decision-making. The
expected outcome from both qualifications is the enhancement of regulatory effectiveness and
sustainability which can be achieved through the skilling and capacitation of water sector regulatory
personnel.
Number of Workshops conducted with municipalities on the implementation of
RBIG and MWIG (Also linked to MWIG/RBIG Skills and Capacity Building Transfer
Plan
The first National Treasury Skills Transfer and Capacity Building Plan (ST&CBP) progress report for the 2015/2016 financial year has being finalized, signed by the DWS Director General on 31 May 2016 and submitted to National Treasury (NT) as per the Divisions of Revenue Act 2015/2016 requirements. The report identified areas of weaknesses in project and contract management and has established that all benefiting 17 Local and District Municipalities (i.e.UThukela DM, Zululand DM, UMkhanyakude DM, UThungulu DM, Alfred Nzo DM, Chris Hani DM, Amathole DM, Joe Gqabi DM, Lephalale LM, Capricorn DM, Moretele LM, Madibeng LM, Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati DM, Kopanong LM, Mohakare LM & Letsemeng LM) scored below average on the operation and maintenance (O&M) component of project and contract management during the assessments. The report also analysed the impact of infrastructure grant on the operational responsibilities of the municipalities and concluded
11
that training and capacity building initiatives on their own are inadequate to address the O&M challenges. There are a number of initiatives required in parallel such as the implementation of a comprehensive asset management strategy across the three (3) spheres of government.
Outcome
To address the training and capacity building shortcomings, the plan has identified the following interventions during the 2016/2017 financial year:
Integrate the 1st order skills and capacity building plan developed to address weakness in project and contract management into the MuSSA/MPAP process.
Maintain support to WSAs to populate the Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) web enabled system and work with Department of Cooperative Governance (DCoG) to ensure data transfer between the Municipal Infrascture Grant (MIG) MIS and the WSDP web based system project management module.
Monitor implementation of LGSETA funding proposal to capacitate local government employees
Ground water monitoring training for pump operators and municipal technical teams in 8 of the selected WSAs (Madibeng; uThukela; uThungulu; uMkhanyakude; Zululand; Letsemeng; Kopanong and Mohokare) to enable WSAs to identify early warning signs and mitigate uncontrolled abstraction.
Maintain organogram support in 3 of the 8 WSAs (Letsemeng; Mohokare and uThukela) and initiate support in 3 additional WSAs (Chris Hani; Zululand and Kopanong).
Development of water and sanitation occupations framework to support workplace skills development processes.
Develop and monitor Municipal Priority Action Plans (MPAPS) in six (6) WSAs with extremely high vulnerability index to address vulnerabilities in eighteen (18) business attributes identified through the MuSSA process.
Maintain Cuban specialist support in North West
Continue supporting the interventions in uMkhanyakude District Municipality and Madibeng Local Municipality.
Maintain current approach of including O&M capacity and training clauses in the tender documents for Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG) Schedule 6(b) projects.
Maintain contractual approach to include WSA O&M obligations in Business Plans and Service Level Agreements in Water Services Infrascture Grant (WSIG) projects
Strategic Action: Establishment of a coordinated skills planning, focusing of
water sector priorities and needs (Planning) (Ref: NWRS2 Chapter 15, action 15.5.2)
Number of Surveys/Research conducted to inform Sector Skills Plan The DWS is planning to implement the Occupational Framework project during the 2016/2017 Financial Year (FY) to expand the first DWS-commissioned “Water Sector Skills Gap” analysis research study undertaken in 2013.The Water Research Commission (WRC) has been appointed as the implementing
12
agent for phase II of the project. Currently proposals have been evaluated and also considered for possible appointment of professional service provider (PSP) to implement the project. Outcome The following is the planned outputs of the project as per the current Government Medium Term Expenditure Framework period (MTEF) and the DWS Annual Performance Plan: Table 1: DWS Annual Performance Plan as per the 5 year MTF period (2016 – 2019)

Local Government Sector Education and Training Authority Research project
In relation to the research strategic focus area of chapter 15 of NWRS 2, the LGSETA has contributed in partnership with the Vaal University of Technology (VUT) has recently concluded a research on Water and Waste water Management in local government. The aim of the research was to provide an assessment of local government’s capability to deliver water and manage wastewater sustainably highlighting current strengths, challenges and opportunities and discuss related implications. Outcomes The main research findings outlined in the report as experienced by different local government engineers and technicians includes the following:
• Lack of futuristic approach to water management as well as inability to spend allocated funds;
• Lack of skills and competencies in science, engineering and technology • Wrong priorities, especially concerning maintenance and capital investment • Lack of information on the location of some water distribution lines and
13
• Emerging contaminants and pollution loads into water treatment plants
Major research findings includes: The transition to a green economy as the way towards a sustainable future. Local Municipalities to implement techniques that integrate conventional and emerging techniques for water/wastewater treatment. Desalination should be given more attention to reduce the cost and make it feasible. Studies aimed at addressing the skills gaps in the local government sector should be prioritized and coordination of research initiatives to optimize resources utilization and avoid duplication becomes critical. The CSIR Local Government Skills Forecasting Model Approaches to Demand and Supply Forecasting & State of current water system and gap analysis LGSETA commissioned the CSIR to develop the local government skills forecasting model approaches to demand and supply and the state of current water system and gap analysis in 2015. The purpose of the study was to develop skills needs model that will enable the LGSETA to project skills needs, supply and demand for local government sector using one area as a focus area. One of the research findings of the study indicates that process controllers are generally in short supply with large numbers of vacancies reported across the country. The study recommended that the acute shortage of process controllers could possibly be addressed by improved theoretical and practical training standards at local government level.
Quarterly Training Reports and Annual training reports submitted
LGSETA
During the 2015/2016 FY, LGSETA supported the water sector by rolling out a skills programme and
learnership programme for 31 and 263 beneficiaries respectively.
EWSETA
In 2013, EWSETA appointed Aurecon SA and KhulaNonke Training and Development to roll-out an
accredited process controller training in Motheo TVET College, Free State. 553 unemployed youth
including matriculants, Graduates with BSc or National Diploma in water care successfully completed
the NQF 2 learnership programme in 2015.
Strategic Action: Strengthening linkages between education and training institutions and places of work (Ref: Chapter 15, action 15.5.3)
Number of provincial conferences and symposiums on knowledge sharing for water
sector held The Water and Sanitation Sector Leadership Group Skills Task Team (WSSLG) National workshop was hosted successfully by the Directorate Operational Support in conjunction with the Water Institute of Southern Africa (WISA) during the 2016 WISA Biennial conference held in Durban from 15 - 19 May 2016. Almost 120 delegates from various organizations within the water and sanitation sector attended the workshop.
14
The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the work of the WSSLG as per the newly configured working group. The following issues were discussed at length through interactive process whereby various WSSLG working groups such as Skills Planning, New Qualification, Training Provision and Monitoring and Evaluation, Rand Water (RW) and Umgeni Water (UW) presented their programmes aligned to chapter 15 of the NWRS 2
Challenges, Successes and Opportunities on the implementation of NWRS 2 Chapter 15 and objective
Development of water and sanitations sector occupational framework by DWS Update on key water and sanitation sector skills and capacity building programmes Reports SETAs and other water sector stakeholders NWRS 2: Skills and Capacity Building Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting (ME&R) Tool
Outcome The following are the resolutions reached during the workshop:
The funding available from LGSETA and EWSETA to support and implement the Water Sector Skills Plan requires the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) facilitation to ensure collaboration for effective application aligned to sector needs and priorities. DHET will arrange for the parties to review the alignment of the Sector Skills Plan, Annual Performance Plan and respective projects. Responsible: Skills Planning Task Team WG
The new DWS/WRC project to develop an occupational framework for the Water Sector must
incorporate related refinements to the audit methodology previously developed. These refinements should develop standardized and user friendly formats for Annual Training Reports and Workplace Skills Plans for water sector institutions. Workshops for awareness on and uptake of the refined formats are essential for effective implementation by Skills Development Facilitators and Human Resource practitioners. Responsible: Skills Planning and New Qualification WG
A review of experience of programmes offered by academies and their relationship with public sector training institutions, occupational qualifications and workplace opportunities offer lessons for sector training provision. Good practice in in-service training, graduate internships, and occupational training and employment practices must be supported and replicated. Both UW and RW as training academies provide good model for implementing training programmes effectively. The UW model should be replicated. Responsible: Training provision WG
The difference between monitoring reports ( information on implementation of flagship projects and those on SETAs and DWS APP ) and evaluation reports (quality assurance reports based on qualification AQP arrangements and tracer studies by CEP groups) must be clarified to ensure seamless and effective sector training intelligence. Responsible: ME&R WG
Young Water Professional (YWP) 4th Biennial Conference: 16 – 18 November 2015 The EWSETA took part in the Young Water Professional (YWP) 4th Biennial Conference from 16 – 18 November 2015 and also sponsored the “EWSETA Learning Hub” site event which was well attended. In addition the EWSETA was the sole sponsor of the conference Gala Dinner which took place on the 17 November 2015 whereby EWSETA invited 20 of its learners involve in various skills and capacity
15
building programmes to gain exposure to the sector and also have an opportunity to network with captains of the industry. EWSETA also catered for their conference registration, accommodation and transport expenses. EWSETA noted that exposing learners to such events can stimulate their learning and capacity building through peer to peer encouragement and motivation. .
A well-structured skills development and capacity building programme
incorporating experiential knowledge and the number of candidates registered and
graduating within such a programme, for each water use sector
The DWS is currently implementing the following water infrastructure projects:
Hazelmere Dam Mzimvubu Dam Nwamitwa and Tzaneen Dam (GLeWAP) Clanwilliam Dam Olifants River Water Resources Development Project
To cater for skills and capacity building, as one of the socio-economic benefits of the projects, the Department is aiming to include the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) standards for skills and capacity building into project tender bid documents in order to reserve funding for skills and capacity building: Outcome Currently the Department has managed to provide opportunities for the following six graduate trainees from the DWS Learning Academy to gain construction work experience at Hazelmere Dam construction site which will contribute towards their professional registration with the Engineering Council of Southern Africa (ECSA): Table 2: DWS GTs to be rotated at Hazelmere Dam

Umgeni Water (UW)
Umgeni Water (UW), a state owned public entity was established in 1974 and operates in Kwa-Zulu
Natal bounded between UThukela and UMtavuna River and Drakensberg mountains. The entity has a
staff complement of 1200. According to its Annual Performance Scorecard, the organization has set
targets for skills and capacity building aligned to its strategic objective of increasing skills and
competency within the entity. To achieve this objective, the organization is implementing the
following skills and capacity building programmes:
UW employee skills development programme
Umgeni Water is implementing water and wastewater treatment learnership programme from NQF
level 2 – 4, targeting employees working in water and wastewater treatment plants. The programme
was initiated in 2010 with 15 employees ultimately qualifying in 2014. The programme is aligned to
Blue Drop and Green Drop Requirements and some of the modules include inter alia:
Chlorine handling,
Sand filter operations ,
Activated sludge
The programme will target 108 employee process controllers and shift attendants during the 2016/2017
FY.
Figure 2: Some of the 2014 qualified Umgeni water employees (process controllers)

External Youth Programme
In 2010, UW launched the apprenticeship and learnership programme for unemployed learners. 37
unemployed learners were initially placed on the programme including 17 apprentices on electrical,
civil, instrumentation and boiler making.
Impact and outcomes
To date all 37 unemployed learners have completed the programme and 17 were offered a 2 year work
service obligation by UW as stipulated in their contract. In 2015; 57 new learners were enrolled into the
programme and they are steadfastly undergoing training.
The organization has also initiated a 2 years in-service training programme for external learners who
require workplace experience to complete their qualifications. The programme is linked to Chemical
Engineering qualification requirements. Learners are placed at UW laboratories; and water and
wastewater treatment plants. There is also a 1-year internship programme rolled-out by UW for
external learners specialising in non-core functions such as Human Resources, Occupational, Health
and Safety, IT, Finance; legal and administration support.
The National Treasury Infrastructure Development Grant (ISDG) graduate development programme
was initiated by UW in 2012 for the purpose of assisting qualified graduates to register with
professional bodies such as Engineering Council of Southern Africa (ECSA) and the South African
Natural Scientist Professions (SACNASP). Currently there are about 44 Graduate Trainees enrolled on
the programme through the grant at UW and it is anticipated that they will complete the programme
by 2017.
The UW Bursary Scheme covers 15 university students each year from their second year of study. The
bursary scheme is offered to students within the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province studying towards a financial
accounting and engineering qualification. The scheme covers all expenses and once leaners complete
their studies they are enrolled in the graduate development programme as part of their service
obligation.
To enhance networking and share lessons among the Graduate Trainees (GTs), the UW has established
a voluntary Young Professional Programme in 2014 covering water and sanitation employees below
the age of 35. The purpose of the programme is to uplift and empower the organizations young
professionals.

Number of functional capacity building and skills development forums
The Department of Water and Sanitation represents National government as an organ of state that is administratively responsible for executing the National Constitutional mandate of managing water resources and regulating water and sanitation services. In its execution of both functions, the DWS is expected to engage different stakeholders who are directly or indirectly involved and affected by water business. The engagement is normally done through one-on-one with affected stakeholders and through establishment and strengthening of sector and community forums. In addition to the Constitutional mandate mentioned above the Minister of DWS, Ms Nomvula Mokonyane, in her budget speech delivered on the 15th July 2014 mentioned that the participation of different stakeholders including community members is important in the water sector. The Minister also stated that water and sanitation forums need to be established, revived and strengthened across all Metros and DMs in order to extend the stakeholder relations. She further indicated that the focus will be more on 27 dysfunctional DMs which were identified as the institutions that need urgent attention and also in hotspot areas identified across different provinces. Outcome Currently DWS has established water forums in the 24 of the 27 Priority DMs; and overall 93 water forums have being established across the 9 Provinces.
