Water Wheel May/June 2020: Emerging Farmers

Abstract

In 2013, the Breede-Gouritz Catchment Management Agency (BGCMA), the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA). The main objective of the agreement was to develop and implement joint research and capacity building programmes based on the BGCMA research and training needs. Under the auspices of the MOA a project was conceived jointly by CPUT and BGCMA. At the end of 2013 CPUT was awarded a Water Research Commission (WRC) funded project (K5/2310) entitled ‘Approaches for Emerging Farmer Participation in Water Resource Management: The Case of the Breede-Gouritz Catchment Management Agency (BGCMA), Western Cape’ . Dr Bongani Ncube was the project leader. The project ran from 2014-2017, but activities continued until the end of 2019.
