Description: As indicated in Chapter 1, the expected outputs of this research are guidelines for best practice, and a set of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of participatory practice in CMA establishment. Chapter 1 indicated that participatory practice in CMA establishment in South Afri-ca is located in a particular social context: that of institution building in a democratising society (where the models of democracy may not be clearly articulated or well understood amongst South African citizens), in response to new national legislation that is based on principles of equi-ty, efficiency and sustainability. This context is further shaped by a his-tory of inequality and lack of broad participation in IWRM. Chapter 1 al-so indicated that IWRM in South Africa crosses political boundaries, is framed within geo-physical boundaries, and is complicated by different governance frameworks for water service delivery and water resources management (where water services delivery is a key priority for people on the ground who have traditionally not had access to water). Water resources management is therefore likely to be a ‘secondary’priority, and the possibility exists that the two needs could be confused amongst those who are to participate in IWRM in South Africa.
