  1. The Presidency Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Performance of the Department of Human Settlements towards the Achievement of Outcome 8 Presentation to the Human Settlements Portfolio Committee National Assembly 20 October 2011

  2. Introduction • The President created the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation in the Presidency to: • Facilitate the development of plans for the cross cutting priorities or outcomes of government and monitor and evaluate the implementation of these plans • Monitor the management performance of individual national and provincial government departments and municipalities, in partnership with the Offices of the Premier, which will be starting in November 2011 • Monitor frontline service delivery in partnership with the Offices of the Premier • Carry out evaluations • Promote good M&E practices in government • Implement interventions to address blockages in delivery, in partnership with delivery institutions

  3. The outcomes • Aim is to improve service delivery by: • Introducing whole-of-government planning linked to key outcomes, clearly linking inputs and activities to outputs and the outcomes • Implementing the constitutional imperative for cooperative governance by negotiating inter-departmental and inter-governmental delivery agreements for the outcomes • Increasing strategic focus of government • Making more efficient and effective use of limited resources through introducing more systematic monitoring and evaluation

  4. The 12 outcomes • BASIC EDUCATION: Quality basic education • HEALTH: A long and healthy life for all South Africans • SAFETY: All people in South Africa are and feel safe • EMPLOYMENT: Decent employment through inclusive economic growth • SKILLS: Skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth path • ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE: An efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure network • RURAL DEVELOPMENT: Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities contributing towards food security for all • INTEGRATED HUMAN SETTLEMENTS: Sustainable human settlements and improved quality of household life • LOCAL GOVERNMENT: Responsive, accountable, effective and efficient Local Government system • ENVIRONMENT: Protect and enhance our environmental assets and natural resources • INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS: Create a better South Africa, a better Africa and a better world • PUBLIC SERVICE: An efficient, effective and development oriented public service and an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship

  5. Delivery Agreements A Delivery Agreement is a charter between all the key stakeholders who need to work together to achieve the outcome. • Performance Agreements between President and outcome coordinating Ministers requested them to work with other key stakeholders to develop detailed Delivery Agreements for each outcome • Delivery Agreements describe key activities, sub-outputs, outputs, indicators, and targets , identify required inputs and clarify roles and responsibilities of each key body which contributes to the achievement of the outcome • Performance Agreements between President and other Ministers also requested them to work with the coordinating Ministers on relevant delivery agreements • New National Treasury guidelines for strategic plans indicate that departments’ strategic plans and APPs must reflect their commitments to delivery agreements – will be monitored by the Auditor General and should also be monitored by Parliament

  6. Department of Human Settlements role in relation to the Outcomes Outcome 8: Integrated human settlements: sustainable human settlements and improved quality of household life • Output 1: Accelerated delivery of housing opportunities • Output 2: Access to basic services • Output 3: Land assembly and effective utilisation • Output 4: Improved affordable property market

  12. Conclusions • The Delivery Agreements provide for sector -wide engagement processes for co-production of human settlement development. The Department should use these more to ensure that targets are met. • DPME and DHS are jointly initiating an evaluation of Outcome 8 interventions : • Informal Settlements Upgrading; • Rental/Social housing; • Mixed Income with Affordable Housing Loans So as to: • Revise plans to produce more equitable and efficient spatial outcomes • Reconceptualise policy and programme environment • Reframe fiscal flows • Rationalise/build institutional capabilities • Frame IGR performance agreements • Make recommendations for improving programme management and oversight

  13. Drawing on the NPC’s Material Conditions Diagnostic for a Sustainable Human Settlement Vision • A network of matured well established cities is positive for a redirected human settlements programmatic approach • However our cities and towns are spatially inefficient and unequal and there is inertia in spatial form • Costs of inefficiency on economy and households (>20% of household expenditure) • Migration patterns are complex making planning for human settlement development challenging • Urban informal settlements are the primary locations for where the urban and rural meet • Because they will continue play this role we need to focus on the management and upgrading of these settlements • New entrants into cities in the pursuit of work opportunities often require other housing support options i.e. rental programmes • At the lower end there is still a total reliance on the subsidy programme • The policy shift towards a sustainable human settlement approach needs to be complemented by more detailed work on costs, institutional capacities, and funding arrangements. This then has to be developed into appropriate support programmes.
