The Water Dialogues-South Africa (WD-SA) is a national multi-stakeholder dialogue process and research project analysing the role of the public and private sectors in the delivery of universal water and sanitation in the country. WD-SA is part of an international initiative, The Water Dialogues.

The WD-SA provides the opportunity to create a constructive dialogue to identify, critically analyse, and evaluate different approaches to service delivery leading to greater understanding of service delivery models. It is envisaged that, through its impact on policy, this understanding will improve the effectiveness of service delivery toward the provision of a universal supply of safe water and sanitation.
