TIPS_Policy_Report_-_Water_and_Sanitation_Industry_Master_Plan_

The reports complement the 2018 Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) National Water and Sanitation Master Plan, by focusing on the emergence and growth of locally designed, competitive manufactured products and services. [...] The centrality of water and sanitation drives a spectrum of activities to provide safe, affordable and modern access to water and sanitation services to all. [...] This includes the development, storage and transport of water resources; the collection, treatment and beneficiation of wastewater; and the management of water consumption. [...] Importantly, this Master Plan focuses on the industrialisation aspects of the water and sanitation industry, and a distinction needs to be drawn between this work and the 2018 National Water and Sanitation Master Plan by the DWS, which is a comprehensive plan for the development of the water and sanitation sector. [...] 1 The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition was established in June 2019 with the merger of the Department of Economic Development and the Department of Trade and Industry.
