AWARD Action Researcher South Africa

AWARD (Association for Water and Rural Development) is an NGO working in Bushbuckridge and the Sand River Catchment in Mpumalanga Province.

It endeavours to develop and test new and appropriate ways of managing water to address water security in the Catchment.

The programme promotes collaborative, participatory planning to increase water security to contribute to more sustainable livelihoods.
