The Free Basic Water SIP is an initiative of the Free Basic Water and Sanitation Task Team (FBWSTT), a Cabinet-approved structure operational since 2001. It is the aim of the FBWSTT to strengthen co-operative government approaches to the implementation of Free Basic Water through hands on support to targeted municipalities. The Task Team comprises of representatives the dplg, SALGA (co-chairpersons), DWAF and National Treasury. The SIP was initiated with the objective to accelerate the implementation of Free Basic Water in 36 targeted municipalities, but the benefits, good practice and lessons learnt from the programme are shared with all municipalities. It is an intergovernmental programme with DWAF as the financial sponsor, and the dplg overseeing the management of the programme in collaboration with nine regional SIP coordinators. The FBW SIP programme has a two-pronged approach to providing support to local government. On the one hand it assists municipalities to bridge constraints hindering implementation of FBW policy through the Regional Action Plans. Secondly, it pilots the integrated project development approach at 7 municipalities with the intention to yield quality examples of sustainable service delivery solutions that can be shared with all municipalities.
