The Regional Secretariat

Global Water Partnership Southern Africa - Africa is based in Pretoria, South Africa. The Secretariat also serves as the coordination unit for various programmes following the new strategy. Below, is a list of our team members who are working hard to ensure a more water secure continent.

The GWPSA Secretariat has the overall responsibility for the coordination and day-to-day function of regional activities. It implements the annual GWPSA Work Plans, and is responsible for the organization's outreach activities, and for promoting collaborations and synergies with other organizations, institutes and processes active in the Southern African region. The Secretariat manages all initiatives, programs and projects of GWPSA. 

The GWPSA Secretariat is hosted by the International Water Management Institute (Southern Africa), which legally represents GWPSA (based on Agreement between the Global Water Partnership Organization and the International Water Management Institute).
