Last year, the Association of Water and Sanitation Institutions in South Africa (AWSISA) was formed to promote better collaboration with entities that play a role in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Dr. Nndweleni Mphephu, Director at AWSISA, discusses this partnership within the water sector.
Comprising seven water boards, various catchment management agencies, the Water Research Commission (WRC) and the Trans Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA), AWSISA is formed to support the mandate of the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) while pursuing the common interests of its members along the water and sanitation value chain.
