RE AR D T U W TO REGIONAL STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN IV (2016 - 2020) MUNITY SOUTHERN M CO AF T VE N DE LOPM EN CA RI SA C O M MO N FU 6.2.2 PROGRAMME LEVEL At the programme level, the Protocol tasks the SADC Secretariat with the implementation of the RSAP and the Water Division under the Directorate of Infrastructure and Services is the responsible entity. The Water Division is responsible for: • • • • the development and implementation of the RSAP as a programme within the RISDP; coordination of RSAP projects; dissemination of RSAP outputs to stakeholders; and monitoring and evaluation of the RSAP at programme and projects. Figure 6.2 illustrates the structure of the SADC Water Division, indicating the core positions within the Water Division. The Water Division is responsible for guiding the implementation of the RSAP IV and reporting to the SADC Statutory Organs. Noting the achievements made in establishing ZAMCOM, especially its Secretariat, it is evident that the Water Division has released its capacity to properly manage the RSAP IV with minimum technical staff. It is further envisaged that secondments of technical staff by Member States will also beef up the programme management positions, especially the Infrastructure Development cluster. 6.2.3 PROJECT LEVEL The institutional arrangements adopted to ensure the successful implementation of RSAP projects vary from one project to another, depending on the projects’ size and objectives. 6.3 FINANCIAL RESOURCE MOBILISATION AND STRATEGY The successful implementation of the RSAP is to a large extent dependent on the financial resources invested in the SADC water programme. There are a number of funding strategies for funding the SADC Water Programme. There are also various sources of funding as well as a financial management framework to ensure sound financial management of the funds.
