Water and Sanitation. 01. 02. 01. Waste disposal and latrines
Water and Sanitation. 1. The Parties recognise the need to ensure the availability and sustainable management of the water supply and of sanitation for all and, as a result, they agree to cooperate with regard to, inter alia:
Water and Sanitation. As a water scarce country South Africa’s water sector is particularly vulnerable to potential negative effects of climate change. This vulnerability demands specific attention being paid to ensuring a resilient Water Sector. The programme entails upstream localisation opportunities (such as for the repair, maintenance and replacement of pipes and components) and downstream beneficiation opportunities (such as with wastewater treatment by-products) must be fully seized. This also includes expanding the opportunities for the ‘catchment economy’, where new sustainable jobs could be created. A number of interventions have been identified that will support the strengthening of water security. These interventions are not exhaustive but illustrative, and indicate the kinds of interventions that could be explored and built upon.
Water and Sanitation. In accordance with paragraph 15.4 (iii) of the Letter of Development Policy, section on effective delivery of and improved access to core public services, the Recipient has provided evidence satisfactory to the Association that water user committees under a community based maintenance system are actively functioning in at least 50% of Districts, and within these Districts at least 40% of water points are covered by water user committees.
Water and Sanitation. 1. The Parties shall strengthen efforts to xxxxxx access to sufficient, safe and affordable water for personal and domestic use, paying special attention to people in vulnerable situations. They shall promote action to strengthen water security against the impacts of population growth, climate variability and climate change, including through improved water-use efficiency, drinking-water safety, sustainable use of water resources, and development of national water catchment and storage systems.
Water and Sanitation. (a) The company shall provide reasonable sanitary conveniences for all employees and where male and female employees are employed such conveniences shall be separate and apart and shall be kept in a clean condition by the company;
Water and Sanitation. Access to drinking water has been identified as the number one priority for both the Covered Communities and the XXX. Access to drinking water and safe sanitation services is essential for public health and well-being, and for the environment. Improved water supply and sanitation practices have reduced the risk of disease, and improved the productivity and income of millions of rural families around the world. Such issues are currently faced by the Covered Communities, therefore improved water and sanitation would contribute to improved health as well as act as an enabler for economic development. Sasol will contract a third-party expert partner to design and implement a programme that will aim at delivering effective access to water for the majority of the Covered Communities within the Term of this LDA. The specific sequencing and programme roll out will be determined by the expert implementation partner/organisation and will be reflected in the annual LDA work plans. To the extent possible, the project will also extend to the Secondary Beneficiaries. Project modality and nature of project interventions to achieve such outcome will be determined by the expert implementing partner. The Covered Communities benefiting from the programme will be involved and participate in the design and implementation of such programme interventions and will receive appropriate training for their participation. The programme would adopt a holistic, developmental approach that seeks to address issues around the reliability of water supply, the sustainability of water systems, the governance around water management, the affordability of services, and equitable access to water for all.
Water and Sanitation. As water and sanitation contribute to the magnitude and incidence of diarrheal infection, project indicators show outstanding results and significant improvements in nearly every indicator (Table 17).

Water and Sanitation. Code of Conduct As members may be aware, DWS has initiated their Code of Conduct, and the process is still at the consultation stage. The parties agreed to deal with this matter together with policies at a task team meeting scheduled for 3 November 2023. Changes to the Performance Assessment Cycle for Personnel appointed in Terms of Section 76 of the National Water Act (Construction) Members were previously requested to make inputs or submit concerns on the employer’s proposal to change the performance cycle of Section 76 employees to align it to the annual performance plan (APP) and the financial year. The PSA invited members on two occasions to make inputs or raise concerns regarding the employer’s proposal, but none were received. The employer indicated that the employer is yet to take a final decision on the proposal and will provide feedback in the next meeting.
Water and Sanitation. Fresh water is a fundamental resource for small island nations. Most development plans are pivotal on the availability of fresh water. Clean water and proper sanitation enhance the health and productivity of the work force and have particular implications for the children and future generations. The availability of water has been a long-standing problem throughout Kiribati. Natural sources of permanent potable water are limited to groundwater in freshwater lenses. These freshwater lenses are floating on the higher-density seawater beneath the atolls. They are highly vulnerable due to loss of land and inundation resulting from climate cxxxxx. Other sources of water include hand-pump wells, roof catchments and galleries. Groundwater resources in Kiribati are commonly contaminated from human and other solid wastes. This arises from rapid population growth and urbanisation, inadequate use of proper toilet facilities and lack of infrastructure in the sanitation sector. Due to the shallow water tables, seepage of waste into the fragile groundwater system is a common occurrence in Kiribati.
