  1. INDUCTION PACK 3 NDPG Overview

  2. Strategic Objectives • Mandate • “To support neighbourhood development projects that provide community infrastructure & create the platform for other public & private sector development, towards improving the quality of life of residents in targeted underserved neighbourhoods (townships generally)” • Purpose: • “A Technical Assistance [TA] Grant aimed at supporting the development of township development plans • A Capital Grant aimed at supporting nodal investment into the construction or upgrading of community facilities, which may attract private sector investment” DoRA

  3. NDP Programme Objectives • Promote private sector investment & other public spending in townships • Provide institutional support & technical capacity to municipalities • Direct capital investment into township, nodal & linkage projects • Promote knowledge, best practice & innovation in township development

  4. Challenges Exclusion by design Absence of township & township nodal development capacity (forward-oriented versus backlogs-driven) Limited funding for capital works for public facilities & places Limited municipal capacity to assemble & align multiple funding sources in single large-scale multi-faceted property development project Mismatch between capital investment & maintenance & operational budgets Features Large concentrations of poor households High levels of unemployment Slower household income growth Poor-performing residential property markets Considerable fiscal burden Opportunities Limited income retention Undiversified & marginal local economies Untapped markets - limited private sector investment Focus on Townships

  8. Grant Make-Up • Technical assistance (Schedule 7 mainly, also Schedule 6) • Strategic planning → Township regeneration strategy, business case & business plan) • Capacity → development coordination, construction management • Detailed planning → for capital investment from NDPG → feasibilities, design work • Capital Grant (Schedule 6 only) • For any capital cost, as usually spent by councils • To make projects happen • Nodal & precinct projects • Linkages • General improvements • Used in conjunction with other grants that have a local government focus → ‘synthesis’

  9. What does Leverage mean? • Includes • Other government funding streams • Mobilisation any non-governmental support & resources • Private sector • Investor groupings • Formal developers • Project financiers • Equity investment funds • Community investment funds • Stokvels • NGOs, CBOs & other community organisations • Cooperatives • Any non-government organisation or individual • Not purely financial → “sweat equity”, land, in-kind

  10. Status Quo: NDPG Portfolio • 86 awards to 51 municipalities for +135 townships • Leverage of Other Funds → NDPG → R8.7bn of total +R29bn project value • NDPG is catalyst but perception is that it can ‘do it all’ → changing mindset is challenge
