What is the impact of the Water Quality Assurance Fund on the safety of rural water? Monitoring #waterquality is crucial for ensuring that treatment processes are effective and that consumers receive safe water. However, small water systems (handpumps, mechanized boreholes, and small piped systems) often struggle to collect adequate revenue to cover operations and maintenance, and water quality testing is often deprioritized. This is when the Water Quality Assurance Fund comes into play. Its primary role is to guarantee that laboratories will be paid for testing activities and, therefore, mitigate the risk of non-payment by the small water systems. 📽 Check out this video to learn how it works: https://lnkd.in/dMmFJhQg 📩 Sign up for the #REALwater newsletter to receive updates on the Water Quality Assurance Fund: https://lnkd.in/d62x92SV USAID | Aquaya | Aguaconsult Ltd. | University of Technology Sydney | Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi | Safe Water Network | Water Mission

Are Public Private Partnerships the solution to water services delivery and water infrastructure development in South Africa? The preliminary research i have conducted shows this is indeed the direction that the country should take in order to arrest the water sector challenges. However, few changes are needed in the policy space that would provide a conducive environment for private sector to participate in the water sector especial in the local government Department of Water and Sanitation Water Research Commission Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) Parliament of the Republic of South Africa #WISA #watercrisis #water #sdg6

The Honourable Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Engr. Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev's discussions from Benue State focused on enhancing collaboration with the Federal Government to promote Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives, particularly regarding WASH and sanitation programs. They also emphasized the need to rehabilitate dams in the state to improve water resource management and ensure sustainable access to clean water for local communities. This is a good step for all of Nigeria's 36 states to focus on ensuring SDG 6 is achieved. Funding is crucial and we have positioned ourselves as a Water and Sanitation management Utility company to provide SPV service through a PPP model with our government and private sectors. #Nigeria #WaterSupplymanagement #wastewatermanagementutility

On 22 June 2024, Rand Water embarks on a 37-day maintenance regime that will see days-long water disruptions hitting parts of Gauteng on a set schedule. The taste of water shedding in Tshwane is already plaguing the residents due to the dire need for extensive proactive maintenance of South Africa's water infrastructure. This can only be achieved with the government and the private sector working together.   "Mergence Investment Managers (MIM) is the only asset manager with a stake in the two privately owned water concessions in South Africa, Siza Water in KwaZulu Natal and Silulumanzi in Limpopo, by means of a Public Private Partnership we have with SA Water Works (SAWW). Siza Water celebrated its 25th anniversary in March 2024 and the Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation David Mahlobo lauded the project which has recently received Green Drop certification and supplies free water daily to 450,000 customers, 300,000 of whom are served classified as indigent communities. It is no secret that “water-shedding” in parts of South Africa is looking increasingly likely. We commend the government on establishing the Water Partnership Office in the Development Bank of SA to bring together the Department of Water and Sanitation, National Treasury, other departments, and financiers to work together with municipalities on long-term solutions. We believe the SAWW-Mergence PPP model could be replicated nationwide." ~ Sholto Dolamo, Managing Director MIM   #Impact #Investing #Public #Private #Partnership #ESG #Sustainable #People #Planet #Profit #PPP

The persistent prevalence of a wide-ranging set of integrity failures, including financial mismanagement, political interference, bribery, nepotism and collusion in awarding contracts, and bribery at the citizen-institution interface, undermine the provision of safe, reliable, and equitable sanitation services. In a set of six new resources produced in collaboration with the Water Integrity Network (WIN), ESAWAS regulators association and ITN-BUET, including country reports for Bangladesh, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia, we explore the role that regulators can play in enhancing urban sanitation regulation and preventing these integrity risks from occurring.

Good Practices in Integrated Rural Development Model of IR Iran- Establishment of Participatory Water Management System The project aimed to establish a participatory water management system in Golestan Province, Aqqala County, and Voshmgir district, by Peyvand Rural Production Cooperative Company. There were 24 delegates from different industries throughout the pilot, which ran from January 2009 to January 2014. Enhancing water production and expanding the system in other regions of Golestan and the nation were the primary objectives of the project. As part of the initiative, farmers discussed problems and worked to improve water management, while administrative institutions assisted farmers with their requirements.The project involved forming water groups, ensuring fair distribution, reducing water loss, and promoting optimal water use. The Participants in the initiative learnt to concentrate on government supervision and macro management.

Remember, the only thing worse than missing a deadline is realizing you could have shared your genius with the world.

It was a delight to participate as a panelist at the just-concluded Lagos International Water Conference (LIWAC) 2024. During the session, I acknowledged Lagos State’s giant strides in including women in decision-making before focusing on how women often bear the brunt of water issues. Being primarily responsible for water management in most households, they face the initial consequences of contamination. This is why integrating gender considerations into water and sanitation financing policies is highly essential. As a city defined by its aquatic beauty, water is a vital resource for Lagosians. I am therefore hopeful that, as Mr. Governor urged, the insightful discussions at this conference will lead to concrete actions to improve water resource management in our beloved state, thereby moving us forward in our achievement of SDG 6 - Clean Water and Sanitation.
