Department Of Water And Sanitation Bursary Programme

The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) is inviting students to apply for their bursary programme, for the 2023 academic year

The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) was formed in 1912 when it was initially known as the Department of Irrigation. As one of the South African government’s departments, the DWS is responsible for the water resources of the country, particularly for formulating and implementing policies within the sector.

The DWS aims to ensure that South Africans have access to clean water and sanitation services, as well as water resources management for ensuring sustainable economic and social development in the country.

The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has established a Learning Academy, whose aim is to help students complete their tertiary students within the water and sanitation field, which is a scarce skills sector in the country.
