Implementing the PAWS Model of capacity building in South Africa
Partners for Water and Sanitation (PAWS) is a trisector
capacity building programme that supports the
development of capacity for improved water and sanitation services in three African countries. The
PAWS programme in South Africa, started in 2004, has supported a number of incountry
partners at
local, provincial and national spheres of government in areas including water quality laboratory
accreditation, water demand management, contract management and customer services.
Experience of working with a range of municipalities and government agencies has identified lessons
relevant to the future of the PAWS programme, which are also relevant to other such capacity building
initiatives operating in similar countries
