Southern Africa Regional Programme (SARP)
IRC's focus in the Southern Africa region is to strengthen intermediate levels (province, district, municipality) capacities of the various actors involved in pro-poor WASH governance taking place in a local Intergrated Water Resource Managment context.
The Southern Africa Regional Programme (SARP) consists of two main components:
- Enhancing regional knowledge networking, so as to facilitate and support organisations and networks to effectively address the key WASH issues;
- Knowledge development, innovation, documentation and sharing, mainly in South Africa and Mozambique but also in other countries in the region, on a number of prioritised thematic areas.
