16 Water Industry Development Water critical input factor across various sectors Water insecurity can result in GDP decline WEF acknowledges the risk of water insecurity calls for mitigation strategies UN 780 million without access to safe water & 2.5 billion with adequate sanitation (70% in Sub-Saharan Africa) SDG s calls for reuse, reclamation and sustainability in provision of solutions Sub- Saharan Africa Global South Africa

17 Why are we Prioritizing? Innovative Desalination and Water Manufacturing Programme More emerging technology demonstrations as part of de-risking new innovations. Transfer of technology. Upgraded capabilities (reskilling and new skills). Increased number of investment partners through match-making. Procurement, pricing and policy incentives for improved uptake.

18 Why are we Prioritizing? Next Generation Sanitation Cluster Programme The establishment of the next generation sanitation CDP. Development of emerging industry capable to develop new technology, within the framework of localisation. Procurement and policy incentives for improved uptake. Development of high-end skills for advanced thermal sanitation technologies and artisanal skills for operation and maintenance. 20 SMMEs per annum post-implementation. Potential 15,000 jobs at 20% market penetration for the currently unserved. New skills, new jobs, new business

19 Why are we Prioritizing? Modular and Advanced Wastewater Capability Build Programme More emerging technology demonstrations as part of de-risking new innovations. Transfer of technology. Upgraded capabilities (reskilling and new skills). Increased investment partners and match-making. improved uptake through procurement incentives. Inclusion of more women, black and youth enterprises. Investment partners Certifications Skills Peri-urban Rural Off grid Urban centralised Biorefinery
