Governance Context
• Second Decade of Democracy (2004-2014):
Consolidation and sustainability of local sphere of
government and IGR crucial for:
– Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF)
– Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative (ASGI-SA)
– National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP)
Project Consolidate
Presidential Imbizos
IDP Hearings 2005/6
Performance and accountability of individual spheres of government and departments is
paramount in the 2nd decade of democracy
Spheres and departments ability to act in relation to each other around a
shared development vision of the 52 district and metropolitan regions is key
10
Socio-Economic Trends
• Increasing demand for decent housing and services driven by
combination of:
– Population growth
– Decrease in household size
– Splitting of households between rural and urban areas
• Increase in number of people entering the employment market
is faster than the rate at which new jobs are created
• Youth employment is crucial factor for social stability
• 68% of population expected to be urbanized over next decade;
urbanization rate 2,8% per year.
• Poverty in both urban and rural areas - South African cities
generate 80% of the country’s wealth whilst 40% of urban
residents live below the poverty line.
11
ACHIEVEMENTS
12
ACHIEVEMENTS
Major progress in improving the lives of the poor - 11 million people
have access to social grants, and by 2006 we reached the millennium
development goal for basic water supply
•
•
Housing
Delivered some 2,3 million
houses to the poor with secure
tenure, water and sanitation
since 1994
This is a significant
achievement in working towards
the achievement of the MDGs
and national delivery goals.
•
•
13
MIG
Since inception of MIG in April
2004 over 750 000 households
serviced for water, close to 300
000 for sanitation, over 500
000 for municipal roads, 84 000
for storm water, and 193 000
for street/community lighting.
This is a significant
achievement especially if the
achievements of the forerunner
to MIG (CMIP) are added to
this and the overall contribution
of municipalities to local service
delivery is taken into account in
an environment of massive
local government
transformation since 1994.
PROBLEM STATEMENT

Problem Statement
•
The scale, pace, coverage, quality and
sustainability of infrastructure and
service delivery is not good enough to
address the nature and extent of the

MIG Performance – Financial
• The MIG formula provides for:
– B-Component (Basic Residential Infrastructure - Water & Sanitation,
Roads and other (solid waste, refuse removal and street /community
lighting).
– The formula allocates 75 percent of the total MIG funds to the Bcomponent. This component consists of proportional allocations for
water supply and sanitation (72 percent), roads (23%) and 'other' (5
percent).
– P-Component (public municipal service - Sport and recreation, parks,
multipurpose community Centres, taxi ranks, etc). The formula
allocates 15 percent of the total MIG funds to P-component.
– E-Component which is an allocation for infrastructure for social
institutions and micro-enterprises (cemetery, local amenities, markets
and etc) and the formula allocates 5 percent of total MIG funds to this
component.
– N-Component which is allocated to nodal municipalities (urban and
rural nodes) – Allocated 5 percent of total MIG capital
24
MIG Performance – Financial
•
The actual expenditure per service indicates that R11,2 billion from the
allocation of R16 billion has already been spent by municipalities since the
start of MIG in 2004/05 to end September 2006 (2004/05, 2005/06, and
second quarter of 2006/07)
•
Of the R11,2 billion spent:
– Water received the largest share at R4,5 billion or 40 percent,
– Roads, storm water and side walking second largest beneficiary at R2,8
billion or 25 percent.
– Sanitation is the third largest beneficiary of MIG funds at R2,6 billion or
23 percent of the funds already spent since 2004/05 financial year.
– Municipalities Spent R333 million on solid waste disposal sites and
refuse removal
– R304 million was spent on Street/community lighting.
•
The bulk of MIG funds was spent on the B-component (more than 90
25
percent)
MIG Performance – Financial
• Expenditure on the P-Component where sport and recreation and
multi-purpose community centres are located is a major cause for
concern.
• An amount of R187 million was spent on sport and recreation as
well as multi-purpose community centres
• The bulk of R187 million spent on sports and recreation (sports
centres and fields) is expenditure by metropolitan municipalities
and other urban municipalities
• An amount of R367 million was spent on other municipal
infrastructure such as cemeteries, fencing, and infrastructure to
small business, tourism facilities, taxi ranks, fire fighting, facilities
for animal, local amenities, municipal health services, municipal
abattoirs, disaster management facilities, and project management
units.
26
Challenges: MIG
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lack of project management capacity to manage MIG
projects
Lack of proper planning: project life cycle
Late submission and approval of technical reports and
Environmental Impact Assessments
Inclement weather conditions
Late registration of MIG projects
Lengthy procurement process due to implementation of
the supply chain management regulations
Overlapping financial years?
Lack of multi-year capital budget approvals
Appointment of service providers who cannot deliver
Council decisions take too long to approve projects and
budgets
Unprocedural selection and changes to projects outside of
IDP process
27
Implications of Ineffective
Utilisation of Grants
• Application of the DORA provisions for withholding,
stopping and reallocations of funding
• Enforce compliance with DORA
• Enforce accountability by municipal accounting officers
• Use available funds in the most efficient manner to
eradicate backlogs, taking cognisance of sector targets
• Incentivise performance
28
Implications of Ineffective
Utilisation of Grants
•
Not meeting the service delivery targets as set out by government
•
Poor forward planning, inconsistent project identification, and weak
communication with communities on infrastructure and service
delivery roll-out results in a breakdown of trust.
•
A more rigorous shared analysis and vision across government is
compromised for integrated infrastructure delivery and sustainable
human settlements that is responsive to conditions in different
municipalities.
•
There is an urgent need to fill vacancies, constitute effective
leadership and management that will lay the basis for closing the
infrastructure funding gap and position municipalities for borrowing
and public-private partnerships.
29
Interventions
Deployments:
• 281 experts were deployed in Project Consolidate
municipalities. However, indications are that in some
cases deployments takes place in a vacuum.
• Part of this initiative is the deployment of 45 graduates,
and 93 students which were placed by the end of January
2007
• The deployment of engineering capacity to municipalities
has made some significant impact on 804 projects in
water sanitation, roads and others to the total value of R2
billion.

Explains developmental objectives of government in delivery
of infrastructure and basic services
•
Explains the roles and responsibilities of sector departments
in supporting municipalities during planning and
implementation of infrastructure and basic services
•
Explains multi-dimensional approach and interventions
required for supporting municipalities to address infrastructure
and basic services – Differentiated support approach
•
Describes activities required to bring about sustainable and
reliable infrastructure and basic service delivery
36
Community participation and
communication
•
Community participation is central to the successful
implementation and ownership of infrastructure and basic
services delivery.
•
Sector departments should ensure that communities are
informed about different services levels and sectoral standards
and norms so that the communities could make informed
decisions when participating in the Integrated Development
Planning processes.
•
This approach will enhance community ownership of
infrastructure assets to be delivered and payments for
services.
•
Communities should also play a direct role in monitoring the
implementation of infrastructure projects and the provision of
free basic services.
37
Role of communication in
service delivery
•Communication is at the core of every social system, it
influences all aspects of development work.
•Communication is a strategic tool in government to
facilitate governance and community input into the organ
of delivery
•The third sphere is the sphere closest to communities and
is at the coal face of service delivery
•Communication in local government is critical to highlight
key achievements in service delivery, explain challenges,
reflect on corrective measures and to mobilise key inputs
from communities with respect to infrastructure delivery
•The key role of councillors conveying these messages to
communities cannot be overlooked
Key interventions
•Local government communication system provides
key support to councillors and ward committees for
communication with the citizenry on service delivery
•Provincal core teams on local government
communication can assist and can be contacted
through offices of the Premier, provincial DLGs,
Regional GCIS offices and Provincial SALGA offices
•Logola Municipal leadership programme makes
inputs on capacitation of councillors through
communication module in the training
•Ultimately the key content driver for local government
communication is the 5 year strategic agenda for LG
