  10. Conditional Grants

  11. Percentages for Eastern Cape and KZN indicate that funds may not be properly “ring-fenced”. R6.1m was withheld from Limpopo. Poor implementation capacity cited as reason. Nevertheless, a significant need appears evident in the Eastern Cape and KZN. Conditional Grants: Outcomes 2008/09

  12. Conditional Grants • 1st quarter spending is slow, particularly for the HIV and AIDS Life skills grant.

  13. Conditional Grants – Spending Rates

  14. On average only 56% of funds already transferred to provinces had been spent at the end of the 1st quarter. Northern Cape had its first transfer withheld due to late submission of a business plan Limpopo still experiencing challenges. Have the capacity issues that affected previous years’ expenditure been resolved? Provincial Spending: 1st Quarter 2009/10

  15. No improvements in overall spending performance in July 2009 Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal, Limpopo and Northern Cape still experiencing challenges in financial performance on the grant. Improvements in July 2009/10?

  16. Performance issues highlighted • Integration into overall curriculum currently being observed in FS, KZN and MP. • Limpopo has appointed new staff to coordinate the programme. This should help improve performance. • Non-payment of service providers in Mpumalanga in 2008/09, despite the province underspending on the grant. • Some needs have been identified within special schools w.r.t. HIV and AIDS Life skills. Some focus is required from provinces regarding this. • Developing and sustaining partnerships with the private and non-governmental sector should receive greater attention. • Greater support for educators
