3. 8/21/2012 3 Progress Report on the Implementation of Rural Household Infrastructure Programme Background
The current government has recognised the vital need of provision of basic services to the remote rural areas.
Since 2007, the government has identified rural development as one of the countrys major priorities.
Rural development has been incorporated in government outcomes which need to be prioritised by the various Ministries.
4. 8/21/2012 4 Background (cont.) In response to the prioritization of rural development by government, National Treasury has established the Rural Household Infrastructure grant over the 2010 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period.
This grant is gazetted as schedule 7 administered, managed and implemented by the National Department of Human Settlements (NDHS) for the provision of on-site sanitation and water facilities (where necessary) to rural communities through NSPU.
A total of R1.2 billion has been allocated over the 2010 MTEF i.e. R100 million for 2010/11, R350 million for 2011/12 and R750 million for 2012/13.
5. 8/21/2012 5 Strategic Goals Facilitates hands-on involvement of the beneficiaries into the implementation of the programme benefitting them, so as to instil a culture of ownership towards sustainable communities.
Encourages the use of CBOs, NGOs and Public Entities to ensure the communities are trained on how to sustain and maintain the infrastructure beyond implementation.
Seeks to alleviate poverty by implementing programmes through labour intensive methods.
6. 8/21/2012 6 Procuring Services of PSPs Through open tender process NDHS has secured the services of two Service Providers i.e. the Mvula Trust and the Independent Development Trust (IDT).
In the first financial year fifty two percent (52%) of the allocation has been awarded to the IDT (with a budget of R52 million) and
Thirty six percent (36%) of the allocation has been awarded to The Mvula Trust (with a budget of R36 million) this financial year.
Twelve percent was set aside for programme/ project management

22. 8/21/2012 22 Overall Challenges
Five benefiting municipalities are rejecting the appointment of certain Services Providers appointed as per approved government procurement procedures.
They insist that local contractors and Labourers be used.
One of the appointed Service Providers does not have sufficient experience in implementing sanitation projects at Municipal level.
23. 8/21/2012 23 Overall Challenges (cont) The programme commenced very late in October 2010 as opposed to the beginning of April 2010.
During the months of December 2010 and January 2011 many projects were severely affected by excessive rainfall and flooding which have hampered construction on site in the beneficiary municipalities.
Hard rock impeded penetration
Inaccessibility of some of the benefiting households.
24. 8/21/2012 24 Interventions
Where benefiting municipalities are resisting the nationally appointed Service Providers, the department will enter into funding agreements with the relevant Water Services Authority to implement the programme with the hands-on support provided by department.
In cases where an appointed Service Provider has declared that it has no experience in the implementation and delivery of rural sanitation, the department should consider reviewing the scope of work in the coming financial years.
Several meetings have been held with IDT to unblock challenges
25. 8/21/2012 25 Conclusion Although there is a significant progress in the last two months, a decision should be taken about the non performing Service Provider
