Challenges (1/4) • The challenges which are outlined in the following 3 slides are based on the experiences and lessons from interactions with 92 MIG under spending municipalities during the 2012/13 financial year.
Challenges (2/4) • Institutional (administration and governance) • A large number of municipalities are faced with key positions vacant (e.g. Municipal Manager, CFO, Director – Technical Services) for a long time or others have people acting in these positions resulting in lack of decision making and accountability thus significantly delaying progress on projects • Municipalities are characterized by high staff turnover making the retention of institutional memory impossible and thereby necessitating the re-training of key staff members and resulting in further delays • Some municipal officials are totally lacking in accountability and delay progress by not following up on necessary processes pertaining to project implementation
Challenges (3/4) • Planning and Procurement • Municipalities fail to prioritise projects and get necessary documents to initiate projects on time. • e.g. technical reports not submitted or inputs by sector departments not considered timeously • Often the lack of understanding of Supply Chain Management procedures and lack of commitment to processes and timelines result in further delays. • e.g. Bid evaluation committees and bid adjudication committees are not sitting regularly thereby negatively impacting on decision making processes and delaying project initiation and implementation.
Challenges (4/4) • Project and Financial Management • There is often no oversight or management of consultants/contractors on the part of the relevant municipal officials.
Supporting Municipalities (1/2) • Some HR issues impacting on the institutional (administration and governance) matters include the following: • Supporting municipalities to develop and implement recruitment and retention strategies. • Monitoring municipalities to fill vacancies in terms of the Municipal Structures Act. • Planning and Procurement: • District Appraisal sessions convened by the MIG national unit help municipalities to commit their allocations well in advance of the forthcoming financial year in order to get projects in construction at the commencement of the municipal financial year. • MISA is deploying engineers to assist with infrastructure planning in municipalities (this deployment is done following the diagnostic conducted, which revealed challenges of infrastructure delivery) • The Provincial Treasuries will be requested to provide support around procurement issues.
Supporting Municipalities (2/2) • Project and Financial Management: The DCoG to continue providing advise to those municipalities (in the context of MIG) to appropriately manage their projects from both project and financial management perspectives.
