The current steering committee consists of IOPSA , PIRB , GIZ , NBI , DHET , CETA and Umfolozi TVET .
The overriding principle is : “ Restoring growth , trust , quality , professionalism and pride to plumbing ,” with the four pillars being :
• Co-ordinating the Ecosystem
• Driving growth for the future
• Proud to be professional
• An empowering legislative environment
The Foundation principles create increased industry participation and a governance Gold Standard .
In future issues , we will provide detail on the pillars and the progress being made with each pillar . Important to note as with any strategy , the inclination is to be so broad that very
little actually gets done . IOPSA / PIRB has clearly identified what the strategy in its current form will not do , but as the current strategy progresses , such ‘ not do ’ will develop into new strategies . 1 . Rural engagement – while important , this is deserving of a separate strategy that must involve government at all levels . 2 . IOPSA / PIRB will not become a formal training provider . 3 . Neither will they partner exclusively with either public or private training , but with both . 4 . International solutions will always be considered and if deemed so , will be contextualised , and applied .
So , how to become involved ? Any initiative one is running that could fit into this strategy and one wishes to be involved we reproduce the assessment criteria for new projects checklist below : PA
