2. BACKGROUND
The current organisational structure that was developed in 2014, was implemented in September 2014 (after obtaining concurrence from the Minister for the Public Service and Administration).
The Dept. of Water and Sanitation (DWS) was established in May 2014.
The National Macro-Organisation of the State (NMOS) facilitated the transfer of the sanitation function from the Dept of Human Settlements into the Dept. of Water Affairs.

6. REVIEW OF THE STRUCTURE
In 2015 the Minister: Water and Sanitation commissioned a review of the current structure to align with the 2015/16 – 2019/20 strategic plan (including the incorporation of the Sanitation function).
The review was prompted by the following:
New Mandate and Functional Changes: The Presidential Proclamation no. 43 of 2014 gave birth to the Department of Water and Sanitation, which incorporated the mandates of the Department of Water Affairs and the Sanitation function (full integration of the Sanitation function is required).
Alignment to the National Development Plan. It is imperative that the Department and its entities be optimally configured and resourced to support the realization of the objective of the NDP.
Establishment of nine Catchment Management Agencies has functional implications on the Department; i.e. the DWS at provincial level will be impacted upon should the nine Catchment Management Agencies be fully established.
Cabinet approval for the merger of Trans Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA) and National Water Resource Infrastructure (NWRI) was announced. This merger also impacts on the functions of the Department.

8. CONCLUSION
The Department has been functioning according to an organisational structure that was approved and implemented in 2014.
The Sanitation function that was transferred from the Department of Human Settlements in 2014 has been incorporated into the organogram but the need exists for full integration.
A need has been identified to review the organisational structure in line with the current priorities. The ultimate aim is to ensure that the organisational structure supports the strategic plan of the Department.
