Sanitation • 2001 Census Backlog = 902 150 households • Since 2004/2005 MIG registered projects = 298 • MIG Total value = R1,9b worth projects • Households served = 155 881 • The remaining backlog = 746 269 households • Backlog translate = R3,9 billion • 2007/2007 MIG MTEF (DORA) allocation =R1,86b • (Water and Sanitation constitute 72% of the total MIG allocation and Sanitation is 55% of the 72%) • Shortfall to meet the national target = R1,465b
Bucket Eradication • 2004/2005 Backlog = 46 977 Units • End Jan 2007 Eradicated Backlog = 26 558 • Current Backlog = R20 419 Units • Backlog translate into = R250,987 • 2007/2008 MIG Ring-Fenced Allocation = R145,26m • Other Funding Sources = R44,9m • Shortfall to meet the national target = R65,9m
Requirements for Province to achieve targets • Increased MIG Allocations • Secure funds to maintain infrastructure and replace ageing infrastructure to prevent of new backlogs • Increase WSA’s institutional capacity and outsource PMU non-core functions • Management of Professional Service Providers who design and manage projects (i.e. Escalations) • Partnerships between established and developing professionals and contractors to improve overall productivity • Leadership to ensure collaboration of sector partners
Recommended Strategies • The current MIG MTEF (DORA) allocations for both water and sanitation are far below for the province to meet national target • There is an need to engage Provincial and National Treasuries to provide more funding. • The MIG formula should be needs than HH based • The Province and Municipalities should declare the bucket eradication programme as an emergency: • To urgently address the shortfall with funding institutions • To prioritize the bucket within their MIG allocation • To short-circuit some of the laborious pre-implementation process i.e. tedious SCM processes.
