Organisation

Water plays a key role in the development of a prosperous economy, a healthy population and a sustainable natural environment. Good water management is inevitable for the sustainable growth. Investments are foreseen to offer water supply and proper sanitation to all South African citizens. Assessments show an ageing of workforce and scarcity in the actual operating and maintenance skills. The retirement of experienced employees causes a brain-drain within the water sector.

What people are saying about Aquadactics

  • Sindy Mthimkhulu
    Our Board members are passionate but being non sector experts,  they  need to build their capacity to  better understand their role within the RBA structure. Key knowledge areas include strategic oversight,  fundraising tools and management techniques and this training helps them and builds their confidence and knowledge in executing their role.

    Focus was laid on didactics, based on the experiences of WWA. They were designed using so-called activating training methods, a system that is innovative to the water industry in South Africa. It entails development of balanced training material/media that is highly interactive and is designed to capture and hold the attention of the audience. This insures higher effectiveness of the delivered training.
