SALGA MATTERS • SALGA funding model in relation to the Municipality’s contribution • Infrastructure backlog especially in rural areas, the biggest constraint to development • The Municipality’s revenue streams are not supporting the White Paper-mandated developmental role • The inability to create a conducive climate for investment threatens the financial sustainability of the Municipality • The national strategy to provide low cost houses needs revision to address the growing housing list • The Turn Around Strategy (TAS) is not producing the results mainly due to the lack of resources MATZIKAMA Municipality MunisipaliteitMasipale

KEY CHALLENGES • The housing backlog is currently sitting at more than 7000 • Despite workable and implementable LED projects the ability to implement is lacking • The revenue streams of the Municipality needs attention • Improved credit control measures • The ability to create jobs especially in the outlier towns where unemployment is more than 80% • Address the infrastructure backlogs to support development MATZIKAMA Municipality MunisipaliteitMasipale
HOW CAN INVOLVEMENT IMPROVE THE SITUATION • Help with the identification of clear development deliverables • Help with the development of a Monitoring and Evaluation system that is outcomes based focussed • A better understanding of the challenges will Improve and motivate lobbying processes with Provincial and National Governments • The Municipality can influence the agenda of SALGA so as to ensure that key challenges are addressed • In order for the Municipality to participate effectively in intergovernmental relations, it needs to act with the involvement of SALGA MATZIKAMA Municipality MunisipaliteitMasipale
