  2. OUTLINE • Context • International • South African • Masibambane : Sector Wide Support Programme • SWAP • Challenges & Risks • Lesson’s Learnt • Water for Growth and Development • Conclusion

  3. International Context • MDG : “halve by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation” • implies providing about 1.5 billion people with access to safe water & 2 billion with basic sanitation facilities by 2015*; • Meeting the water and sanitation target is pivotal to the realization of the entire MDG due to the fact that access to clean water and safe sanitation strongly relates to other targets aimed at eliminating poverty* (John Ebire 06/11/04)

  4. National work plan SOUTH AFRICA CONTEXT : Strategic Alignment 3. Building the economy & creating jobs 4. Combating crime & corruption 2. Developing human resources 5. Transforming the State 1. Speeding delivery to meet basis needs 6. Building a better Africa CABINET MEDIUM TERM STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Effective WSIs WS for economic & social development Local level O&M & transfers WS Strategy DWAF KFAs + others Basic WS services Promote & support Africa’s MDGs

  5. RSA LEGISLATIVE IMPERATIVES Enabling legislative environment for effective delegation • Water Services Act, 108 of 1997 • Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 • Division of Revenue Act (DORA) –each finance year • Municipal Structures Act, 117 of 1998 • Municipal Systems Act, 32 of 2000 • Disaster Management Act, 57 of 2002 • Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 • Employment Equity Act, 55 of 1998 • Preferential Procurement Framework Act, 22 of 2000 • White Paper on Municipal Services Partnerships, Notice 1689 of 2000 defines environment for effective Programme Management

  6. RSA WATER SECTOR TARGETS • Objective … improve the quality of life of poor communities by improving their access to adequate, safe, appropriate, affordable and sustainable basic water supply and sanitation services • Achieved through … investment in water services infrastructure in the sector totals at least 0.75% of GDP

  7. THE SA DELIVERY LANDSCAPE • Multiple participants: • Spheres of government • National • Provincial • Municipal • Private sector • NGO sector • Donors • It is necessary to align all investments in WS to meet targets in the Strategic Framework • Housing • Education • DPLG, DEAT & DPW • WSAs & WSPs • Water Boards, Mining & Private Sector

  8. THE SA DELIVERY LANDSCAPE • Multiple objectives • Poverty eradication • Employment creation & links to EPWP • Broad based black economic empowerment BBBEE • Sustained economic growth and development • Effective participation by Civil Society • Gender mainstreaming • Environmental impact assessment & management • Impacts of HIV/AIDS • Promotion of appropriate technology • Support to SADC & NEPAD • Linkages to European Programme for Reconstruction & Development (EPRD)

  9. MSB : SECTOR WIDE APPROACH SA Strat Objectives MDGs Need for Accelerated delivery MASIBAMBANE SWAP Multi-Sectoral Approach

  10. ALIGNMENT OF OBJECTIVES IN THE WATER SECTOR Water for Growth & Development – Main Theme DWAF – 9 Regions WIN DWAF - National - Regulations - Communications - Sanitation - IGR (Sector Support Strategy) - Institutional Reform Strategy - Integrated Planning - Africa Participation Plan SALGA Cross Cutting - Gender - Environmental - Appropriate Technology - HIV Aids Water Resources - Water Conservation - Demand Management - Water Allocation Reform dplg (MIG incl.) - LG Strategic Agenda - LG Support Plan National Treasury DOE Private Sector Involvement DOH ESETA Civil Society SAAWU Cabinet MTSO’s (6) Water Resources Water Services SFWS (19) NWRS (9) Water Sector Stakeholders

  11. Government- Led process of Donor Coordination Agreed process for harmonization of systems SWAP Systematic Mechanism for Consultation of beneficiaries Clear & agreed Sector policy And strategy Common Performance Monitoring/ reporting Sector mtef (all local and External Resources) MOVING TO SWAP SWAPs typically have six components:

  12. MOVING TO SWAP (cont) 7 assessments for a SWAP • Macro-economic • framework 7. Institutions and capacities 2. Sector policy and national strategic framework SWAP 3. Medium term expenditure framework for the sector 6. Performance monitoring & client consultation systems • Donor • coordination • systems • Accountability & • public • finance management • systems

  13. MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF SECTORAL APPROACH • Key focus areas: • Change management • Integration • Scoping • Quality & risk • Communication • Programme management approach based on: • Best Practice • Robust Framework • Repeatability • Empowerment • Appropriate Technology • Cross cutting issues (Gender, Civil Society,Environment etc)

  14. Real backlog Political objectives Investment plan Legislation National Funding mechanisms Multi-sectoral environment Provincial Funding conditions Decision-making Local Donor requirements Institutional capacity Geographical spread Strategic objectives Stakeholders Planning processes Cultural diversity Procurement Empowerment INTEGRATION Resources Implementation mechanisms COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES TO SECTORAL APPROACH

  15. RISKS IN SECTORAL APPROACH • Risk environment • Rapidly changing LG environment & introduction of MIG • Challenge to obtain consistent performance data – consequential impact on • Monitoring and evaluation of performance • Design of policy and interventions to direct and improve performance • Accountability and public expenditure management • National & Provincial levels PFMA, DORA etc • Municipal level MFMA, DORA • Institutional and capacity issues • Donor co-ordination

  16. A RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY • Tools of risk management • Alignment of Sector investments towards Sector Goals • Development and maintenance of Sector Work Plans • Quarterly & annual reporting to the Sector • Sector monitoring and evaluation – Internal & External • A commonly recognised Project Management methodology – PMBOK – extended to meet the demands for strategic co-ordination of the Sector • Carefully designed interventions to support the sector players • DPLG • SALGA • Creating an enabling environment in the sector for learning • Best Practice & Water Information Network (WIN)

  17. LESSONS LEARNED • Can achieve more through an integrated approach – “1+1=3” • Risks to delivery better managed • Effective communication & collaboration • Better expenditure of limited funds • Common experiences shared • Better designed interventions • Standardisation of reporting • Common framework of measurement and reporting • Harmonising donor requirements into Govt processes • National & International best practice to improve Govt efficiency • Common understanding of achievement • Better achievement of donor objectives

  18. Progress towards WfGD MSB III W4GD Gearing-up Programme Man MSB II MSB I CWSS RDP Project Man 2012 1994 1996 2001 2004 2007 Multi-Sectoral Focus W4GD Project to Prog: Focus SWAP Focus

  19. Context and Mandate for WfGD • WfGD concept of seeks to raise a basic question: • How water can be managed and developed to promote economic growth and alleviate poverty; • It is acknowledged that water is a key ingredient for ensuring economic growth and development • WfGD must affect both the first and the second economy; • Access to water to alleviate poverty will impact on the second economy and re-thinking the existing use of water in the first economy will help accelerate growth.

  20. Water Resources Water Services & Forestry water for growth & development INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING FINANCIAL LEGISLATION & POLICY REGULATIONS & SUPPORT environment economic development Social Alignment of functions across content areas within the umbrella of W4GD

  24. CONCLUSION • With increased donor funding and challenges in meeting MDGs, it is not business as usual; it is essential to move to Programatic & SWAP approaches to accelerate sustainable service delivery • A proactive role for Programme Management; - Basic PMBOK principles still relevant at Project & Programme levels; • Harmonise systems & processes;One Strategy- One Workplan- One reporting System • Foundations have to be maintained – must do projects well & to common standards to allow roll up • Communication, collaboration & clearly defined Roles and Responsibilities are essential components of SWAP

  25. CONCLUSION (cont) • Integration to balance competing demands • Transparency, good governance, effective & efficient financial management • Robust management framework to accommodate change & effective change management • Promote sub-regional & regional co-operation & support • Few examples of SWAP in Africa; Uganda & South Africa; now starting in Lesotho & Malawi • Need to promote best practice & knowledge sharing • Achieving the correct balance between water utilization for basic service provision and water as a catalyst for economic growth and the meeting of MDG’s.
