Partners for Water and Sanitation (PAWS) is a DFIDfunded
partnership of public, private and
government organizations who come together to offer capacity building support to water and sanitation
institutions in Ethiopia, Nigeria and South Africa. The PAWS model of capacity building offers a unique
opportunity in supporting Ethiopia’s commitment towards an accelerated effort from all stakeholders to
achieve the Universal Access Plan. PAWS is offering support to the Ethiopian water sector through
training, twinning and technical assistance under a number of strategic programmes. Since 2005, the
programme has responded to demand for specific expertise and skills from, for example, regional water
resources bureaus, governmentowned
water works enterprises and the federal coordination office of the
national WASH programme. Experience to date indicates the need and value of such capacity building
support, while the outcomes of improved understanding and operations for institutions to carry out their
roles and responsibilities are forthcoming.
