The two transitional institutional frameworks will retain the existing successful institutions to assist in a smooth transition to the final institutional frameworks. For example, the transitional framework for the provision of WSS services will retain the existing UWSAs and DAWASA during the transition period, whilst new WSSAs will be established on the basis of commercial viability in areas not currently covered by the existing UWSAs or DAWASA. EWURA will remain as the regulatory body for all non-community-owned organisations such as DAWASA, UWSAs and WSSAs.

During the transition period, sector capacities will be developed and a review of relevant existing legislative provisions will be carried out to remove potential duplications and omissions, and enable effective implementation of the future institutional frameworks. It will also involve strengthening of the regulation and monitoring of service providers, including situations where the private sector is involved in providing water supply and sanitation services; and raising awareness of the institutional framework among stakeholders, including communities. The transitional period is also intended to inform the various stakeholders of the new institutional frameworks.
