is US$16 billion.
Figure 3 summarises the Water Sector Implementation Plan, which is divided into three phases. The
total estimated cost for all the three phases is US$200 billion (Phase 1: US$16 billion, Phase 2:
US$104 billion and Phase 3: US$80 billion). It is expected that at the end of Phase 2 Water Sector
RIDMP project implementation, 40% of the Vision 2027 Water Sector targets would have been
achieved, while 100% of the Vision 2027 Water Sector targets would be achieved by 2027.
Possible project financing sources and the lead agencies for implementation have been proposed.
Three SADC infrastructure investment summits and conferences are proposed in 2012, 2017 and
2022. It is also recommended that a Regional Infrastructure Development Fund be set up, possibly
administered by the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), in conjunction with the African
Development Bank (AfDB). Some critical factors for the successful implementation of the Water
Sector part of the RIDMP have also been identified, bearing in mind that the SADC Member State
national projects should supplement the RIDMP projects so that the Vision 2027 Water Sector
targets are easier and quicker to achieve. These SADC Member State national projects should be
regularly reported on and be included in the SADC Water Sector database.
The Annexure contains the 34 Water Sector project profiles.
