Water Efficiency for Commercial and Industrial Southern Africa

As water scarcity and wastewater discharge costs continue to rise across Southern Africa, businesses in the industrial and commercial sectors face increasing pressure to optimise water usage. Many regions also experience unreliable water supply, making the need for water efficiency even more urgent.

The SAGCC is implementing the Water Efficiency for Commercial and Industrial Southern Africa (WECISA) project, which is an initiative of the Export Initiative Environmental Protection (EXI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN). The project will assist commercial and industrial companies in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe in assessing their water consumption, drafting a water policy, and developing a water management plan.

 

The Southern African-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SAGCC) invites qualified experts to submit proposals for participation in the WECISA project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMUV) as part of the Export Initiative Environmental Protection (EXI).

 

The project aims to support commercial and industrial companies in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to assess their water consumption, develop water management policies and plans, and implement short-term efficiency measures.

 

Two experts — one for the commercial and one for the industrial sector — will be appointed to provide technical guidance through workshops, on-site assessments, metering strategies, and ongoing monitoring.

 

Interested experts must submit their proposals by Wednesday, 16 July 2025 (close of business).
