  12. Challenges for conditional grants • Same officials have to implement new projects and provide after-care at the same time • More demands by other land reform beneficiaries especially the more they see implementation and changes in the neighbouring approved projects or communities • Credit facilities for BEE contractors problematic thus a delay in delivery of material and other services • Some of the suppliers do not deliver material on the agreed timeframes and that delays payment • Some of the companies experience cash flow problems during the course of completing a project

  13. Plans to improve delivery on conditional grants • 2006/7 projects • Ensure that 2006/7 projects are implemented according to plans • Not to allow any roll-overs from 2006/7 • Monitor and assess implementation through

Plans to improve delivery on conditional grants • Monthly review of expenditure • Holding quarterly reviews with project leaders • Senior managers visiting projects regularly to monitor progress • 2007/8 projects • Completed business plans for 2007/8 projects by end of September 2006 • Advertise tenders between Jan-March 2007 • Start implementing as of April 2007
