FETWater – Building the bridge between capacity building and sector sustainability

Abstract

Skills development The lack of coordination of capacity building and training initiatives in the South African water sector has resulted in poor knowledge management, ineffective planning, duplication of effort and low return on investment. In addition, uncertainty over the link between qualifications and available career paths in the sector limits the uptake and thus the sustainability of capacity building initiatives. The relevance and quality of capacity building and training programmes therefore remain questionable as the water sector has yet to develop appropriate mechanisms for standardisation and quality assurance.
