Councillor Development Programme
The five year South African Water and Sanitation Councillor Development Programme (CDP) has been designed to equip councillors with knowledge and understanding of different water sector issues. The purpose of the programme is to empower councillors to actively participate in water and sanitation business processes, and to be able to make informed decisions affecting water services within the municipalities and communities they serve.
