The Department of Water Affairs and Forestry is the leader of the water and forestry
sectors. It currently performs both implementation and regulatory functions. Its focus is increasingly becoming policy development, macro planning, regulation, sector leadership,
oversight and monitoring. A substantial number of its current implementation functions
are being transferred to water and forestry institutions within the sectors. The sectors’
players have an important role to play in meeting the sectoral targets, with DWAF playing
a leadership and regulatory role to ensure that Government objectives are met. Figure 1 illustrates the linkages between the institutions that are major role players in the
water sector, and are part of the transformation of the sector. Figure 2 illustrates the relationship between the Department and institutions that are major role players in the forestry industry
