Context and Background. Although globally there is enough water to satisfy the demand of almost every person on the planet (Savenije, 2000), the spatial and temporal distribution of this freshwater (Oki and Kanae, 2006) and of the global population means that in reality there are areas of the planet that suffer from serious water shortages. Generally, developing nations are more severely affected by these shortages, being located in (semi-)arid locations. However, the recent 2012 drought in the United Kingdom illustrates that even more developed nations can still suffer water shortages, with potential impacts on livelihoods and the economy. It has been shown that globally during the period 1960-2000, more people - from 27% to 43% of the global population from 1960 to 2000 - have been pushed into more water-stressed situations, mainly due to increasing water demand predominantly from the agricultural sector (Wada et al., 2011) which accounts for c. 85% of the total global consumptive water withdrawal (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008). On top of this backdrop, are the potential impacts of climate, population and social change in the coming decades. Current model projections of global climate change indicate a general warming trend by the 2050s, particularly over the Mediterranean and North Africa region (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2004; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2007; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2009; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2007). In addition, rainfall totals in this region are expected to become either lower or more sporadic (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2004; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2007), with a concomitant increase in drought frequency (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2009; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2007). It is recognised however that there is considerable scatter in model results, varying not only by model type but also by the simulation resolution (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2007). Despite this, the general warming and drying trend over the Mediterranean Basin is still generally observed. With respect to global population, general estimate to 2050 are that the population will increase from seven billion at present to between c. 8 - 10.6 billion (United Nations, 2010), with a large increase also expected around the Mediterranean. An additional consideration is that as societies develop and wealth increases, household (domestic) water consumption is generally expected to rise (Alcamo et al., 2007; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Matovelle, 2010) as is agricultural water use as a result of increasing demand for more water intensive products and the effects of increas...

Context and Background. In 2011, AGA SA Region embarked on a process of reviewing its approach to socio-economic development of its host and labour sending communities in line with the business strategy as was developed by its management Committee in ▇▇▇▇.▇▇ terms of the 2010 business strategy, socio-economic development was identified as one of the six strategies required to drive the business to achieve its over-all objective of remaining profitable and competitive into the medium to long-term. Thus, socio-economic development was not only identified as a strategic business imperative, but was also integrated into the business strategy and given the same focus as other five pillars of the region’s business strategy. In developing the above mentioned Socio-economic development Framework, a bottom up approach was adopted, beginning with a workshop on the 26-27 July 2011, attended by the CEO and members of the SAR Man agent Committee (Mancom), respected experts, and academics in the industry, peers from other leading companies in the area of socio-economic development, and opinion makers in the field of policy development followed by further consultations with the recognised trade unions, the Executive Mayors and Executives of the Merafong and Matlosana Local Municipality and those of the OR Tambo District Municipality. These were followed by Community Briefings comprising NGOs, SMMEs, and other community formations like Youth Organisations in all the above-mentioned three municipalities. The above-mentioned workshop and consultations culminated into a new Socio-economic Development Framework and Funding Model that was approved by the AGA Executive Committee in October 2011 and ultimately by the AGA Board in February 2012.The above-mentioned Framework and Funding Model aim to assist the company to put in place practical step to address not only the challenges posed by legislative requirements, but to also address the company’s social licence to operate and achieve its strategic objectives, mission and values, in particular, that of “leaving the communities in which we operate better off for AngloGold ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ been there”. The SA Region’s Socio-economic Development Framework (SEDF) has as its objective the creation of a “healthy, safe, educated and economically active communities”. The SEDF comprises the following five focus areas whose strategies are now in the process of been developed and implemented:
