  8. PROCESS

  9. SETTLEMENT SURVEYING • Settlement pattern, conditions and topography • Top structures and settlement density • Infrastructure services • Water • Sewerage • Power • Roads • Community facilities/social services • Education and health care • Government • Recreational and social • Commercial facilities and public transport network • Physical vulnerabilities and threats

  10. COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONS • Focus group meetings successfully completed during week of 7-11 April • Discussion topics • Settlement history • Settlement growth and migration patterns • Economy and livelihoods • Community initiatives and projects • Vulnerabilities • Access to services • Community capacitation • Needs and prioritisation • Opportunities • Overall understanding of socio-economic status

  11. RAPID ASSESSMENT SHEETS

  12. SETTLEMENT CATEGORISATION AND PRIORITISATION

  13. CATEGORISATION PROCESS • Following information captured during the data collection process was utilised to categorise the informal settlements • Location • Number of households • Land ownership • Density • Housing typology • Tenure status • Availability of basic services • Status of roads • Physical/infrastructural and environmental vulnerabilities • Flow chart followed for determining appropriate informal settlement developmental responses (need for urgent relocation, implementation readiness, availability of alternative sites, etc.

  19. STRATEGY OVERVIEW

  20. CONTENTS OF STRATEGY • Part 1 : Introduction • Background and orientation • Purpose and objectives of NUSP • Part 2: National and provincial policy context • Legislation, policies and strategies • Grants, programmes and subsidies • Part 3: Mossel Bay municipal context • Provincial situation and municipal context • Local and district municipal objectives and priorities • Municipal informal settlement dynamics and features • Part 4: Informal settlement response plan • Main responses for services, tenure and housing • Detailed settlement response plan • Description of main responses to promote integration and sustainability

  21. PART 4: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESPONSE PLAN • Core section in final strategy • Programme of detailed activities for the upgrading process • Set of interventions in response to the identified needs • Not only addresses basic infrastructure and tenure interventions, but also discusses steps required to increase community participation during the development/formalisation/upgrading process • Activities, projects and programmes aim to increase the level of integrated planning and multi-sector delivery for communities • Link proposed activities, projects and programmes to existing municipal projects and initiatives

  22. PART 4: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESPONSE PLAN • Main responses for services, tenure and housing • Application of Phase 1-3 of the UISP (also case-by-case basis) • Rental options and state-subsidised rental/social housing • Micro-credit and community savings • Finance institutions and community savings groups • Detailed settlement response plan • Overview of settlement categories and the prioritisation process • Interventions per informal settlement (based on categorisation) • Land requirements • Developable area per settlement based on site visits, water areas and basic slope analysis • Area of each informal settlement and the number of households that can be in-situ upgraded • Size of land identified for relocations and the number of households that can be accommodated on the land • Suggestions with regards to relocations based on consultation with the municipality

  23. PART 4: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESPONSE PLAN • Main responses to promote integration and sustainability • Informal settlement upgrading to be approached in holistic and integrated manner • Ensure that the outcomes are sustainable • ISUS for Mossel Bay Local Municipality aimed at development of sustainable communities on well-located land and in areas with long-term sustainability potential • Not only requires appropriate responses to physical issues (services and housing), but also requires appropriate responses to other less tangible factors: • Community participation; • Local economic development and livelihoods; • Skills development and economic sector alignment; • Local spatial plans; • Key social facilities, support programmes and special needs; • Accessibility, public transport and non-motorised transport; • Government sector alignment; • Promoting densification and urban efficiency; and • Achieving secure tenure

  24. PART 4: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESPONSE PLAN • Main responses to promote integration and sustainability • Each factor discussed in terms of: • Goal based on theoretical background of key elements; • Status based on focus group discussions; • Existing projects or actions; and • Potential projects or actions that should be implemented to supplement and support the relevant factor and ultimately enhance sustainability • Proposed projects and actions should be, where possible, combined with existing projects • Before these projects and actions can be implemented, more research should be done on optimal ways of implementing these projects • Best suitable role-players • Potential funding sources • Funding for the suggested projects and actions can be obtained from a variety of public and private sources depending on the nature of the projects

  25. CONTENTS OF STRATEGY • Part 5: Institutional arrangements • Multi-sector committee (task team) • Part 6: Medium-term expenditure framework • Existing provincial and local budget allocations • Upgrading MTEF • Part 7: Risks, assumptions and mitigation actions • Part 8: Monitoring and evaluation framework • Overall goals and objectives of the ISUP • Monitoring and evaluation tools • Indicators

  26. PART 5: INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS • Structure that will effectively manage the upgrading and formalisation of informal settlements • To be based on what already exists in terms of inter-departmental partnerships • Consist of key departments and role-payers • Be augmented by relevant District and Provincial stakeholders and external advisors (NUSPand NDoHS) • Important to have collaborative approach to planning and upgrading • Integration of communities into system by means of representative forums

  27. PART 6: MEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORK • Based on housing subsidy quantum • Category B1 settlements

  28. PART 6: MEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORK • Category C settlements • Need for relocation calculated based on number of households that can be accommodated on site after site constraints have been factored in (slope, water areas, etc.) • Asla Park D – 40% of site is developable, and remainder too small to accommodate all households • Gentswana A, Gentswana B and Thembani Street – 60% of site is developable, and remainder large enough to accommodate all households • Emfuleni - 90% of site is developable, and remainder large enough to accommodate all households
