BROAD PROGRESS 2003/04 • All nodes have reviewed their IDPs • PIMS Centres in place to support all nodes • IDT delivery support structures in place for the ISRDP nodes • Political champions in place for all nodes across all 3 spheres • Guidelines developed for making political championship operational • Technical champions in place for all nodes across the 3 spheres • The anchor projects are diversifying and creating condusive conditions for local economic development & sustainable development • Communication Strategy developed for the nodes
PROGRESS AGAINST KEY INTERVENTIONS 2003/04 • Skills development- DoL 20% of 2003/04 budget to nodes • Value: R3.4b Rural Nodes • Value: R6.2b Urban Nodes • Community Development Initiatives • 5 provinces piloting CDW’s: NW, EC, NC, Limpopo, Gauteng • Community Based Planning & Local Area Planning pilots in Free State, Eastern Cape & KZN • IDP\ PGDS Alignment • Pilot in Mpumalanga
PROGRESS AGAINST KEY INTERVENTIONS 2003/04 • Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting • Reporting format for technical champions operational • Reporting format for political champions approved by Cabinet • Programme implementation reviewed through nodal alignment workshops Jan- March 2004 • Nodal alignment workshops Assessment Report produced • Communication • Communication strategy produced (March 2004) • Nodal Coverage Expansion *** • Potential additional nodes identified • Financing Protocol for Nodes *** • Draft Financing Protocol produced
Progress on ISRDP Projects • The total number of anchor projects in the ISRDP nodes was 177 in March 2004 compared to 155 Jan 2003. • The value of anchor projects in July 2003 was R 45b – in Dec 2003 this value increased to R168.5b • Actual Investment by National Departments R5.9b • 53% Projects completed • 27% Implementation Stage • 60% Infrastructure • 32% Local Economic Development

MAIN CHALLENGES • IDP’s, PGDS’s & NSDP not aligned therefore absence of consistent frame of reference for ISRDP & URP at local, provincial & national level • Planning and budgeting across the 3 spheres not aligned resulting in nodal projects not being optimally funded. • Inadequate project mgt & implementation capacity at nodal level • Projects designed and implemented at nodal do not promote sustainable development • Technical Championship across the 3 spheres evolving & needing further role clarification
PRIORITIES FOR 2004/7 • To institutionalize existing alignment approaches across 3 spheres to strengthen coordination on ISRDP & URP • To enhance nodal capacity • To maintain current ISRDP & URP initiatives and tailor them towards addressing the challenges of the 2nd Economy • To produce nodal financing protocol • To expand nodal coverage • To align IDPs, PGDSs & NSDP and embed ISRDP & URP within these instruments • To communicate & market ISRDP & URP across 3 spheres • To coordinate Monitoring & Evaluation of ISRDP & URP 6
