Bulk Infrastructure What is Regional Bulk Infrastructure? The infrastructure required to connect the water resource, on a macro or sub-regional scale, (over vast distances), with internal bulk and reticulation systems. Macro is defined as large bulk infrastructure serving extensive areas across multi-municipal boundaries “Sub-regional is defined as large bulk infrastructure serving numerous communities over a large area normally within a specific district or local municipal area.

Bulk Infrastructure Multi year Allocations Grant Conditions 2007/8 R300 million (Current) 2008/9 R450 million 2009/10 R650 million 2010/11 R689 million Grant Conditions Regional bulk Water & San infrastructure only Only social and economic development components Confirmed need for a bulk solution is accepted Proven implementation readiness

Bulk Infrastructure Grant Conditions (continued) Output Financing plan Co-funding needed but no duplicate funding Infrastructure ownership resolved Institutional commitment/agreement Licensing, environment, WCDM, Asset Management and WSDP needs met Output Access to water supply will be enabled. Proper waste water management and disposal effected.

BUDGET ALLOCATION Budget Allocation relatively small compared to MIG Split of allocation for 2007/08: Regional Management Support R 7.0 million Implementation Readiness Projects R 39.2 million Infrastructure Implementation Projects R 253.8 million

Bulk Infrastructure Challenges Cooperation between a number of stakeholders and especially LGs Planning of these schemes is ongoing and feasibility studies done :Question asked: Does it mean that we allocation are not based on sound plans and that the department relies on thumb suck? Use of PPPs not yet addressed, DWAF takes the lead Funding for social and economic elements still to be acquired

Bulk Infrastructure Progress Targets Discussions were held with municipal and provincial stakeholders Policy and criteria booklet has been drafted Document on application procedure to follow Work on drafting a project list is underway Targets It is expected that the full budget for 2007/8 as allocated will be spent

Do not talk of challenges. The Department should make reference to what it is doing to addressed the challenges?

Water sanitation- Schools and Clinics Purpose: Eradicate water supply and sanitation backlogs in all clinics by 2008 All schools which were never served by 2009 Conditions: Implementation plans submitted by end Feb 2008 Implementation plans assessed by Prov. Mangt structures O and M plan and budget requirements of those facilities

Schools and Clinics Multi-year Allocation For water and sanitation, which amounts to R665m, allocated as follows: 2007/08 R 105 million(current) 2008/09 R 210 million 2009/10 R 350 million

Schools and Clinics Agreed Principles: Governance & Structure R665 m will be a top up fund to funds already available through the Prov. Infrastructure Grants. Although funds controlled by DWAF, project planning and implementation will be a collaborative team effort between DWAF, DoE, DoH, PDE and PDH. Nat. Gov.Structure to be operational by end March 07. Prov Governance structures are being established. (The E. Cape structure is already functioning) National Schools and Clinics Program Manager and support office is being established within DWAF 9 Regional Program Managers & Support Offices being established. Schools and Clinics

Schools and Clinics Agreed Principles: Backlog Definition Backlogs in the past have been classified as “facilities with no access” and “facilities with inadequate access” In the rollout of this programme backlog definitions should be structured as follows: No Services at all Insufficient number of service facilities Unacceptable technical service type Unsustainable Service Unacceptable condition Unacceptable Health & Hygiene practices & management

Schools and Clinics Agreed Principles: Priorities Target for eradication of water and sanitation backlogs in Clinics is Dec 2007. Backlog can be eradicated within the available funds in 2007/08. Thus agreed with DoE that Clinics will be prioritised initially above Schools Within the schools backlogs, schools with no facilities will be prioritised where practical and feasible in the context of the total solution during 2008 MTEF Individual Provinces will not be prioritised and allocations will be made pro-rata to backlogs Schools and Clinics

Schools and Clinics Agreed principles : Implementation Various Implementation models will be used. These could include: Using existing contracts / implementing agents of Provincial Departments Using MIG projects (municipalities) to connect schools to new water and or sanitation schemes currently being rolled out Using various organisations as Implementing Agents on behalf of DWAF Using contractors appointed directly by DWAF Thus a flexible funding approach is essential. Schools and Clinics

Schools and Clinics Agreed Principles: Fund Allocation From previous slides it is clear that it won’t be possible to use a rigid; once-off; fund allocation process. Therefore; it has been agreed with NT that the fund will classified as a Schedule 7 grant. As clarity develops regarding the most appropriate implementation solution, funds will be allocated accordingly. The 1st order allocation was done at the end of 2007. Schools and Clinics

Schools and Clinics Expected Outputs: Provide acceptable and sustainable water and sanitation services to All Clinics that currently have no services in the first MTEF period. All Schools that currently have no services. Some Schools that currently have unacceptable services, within budget constraints Detailed project lists with clear targets for delivery will be set per province, per department and for water and sanitation. These will be distributed with the 1st order allocations. Schools and Clinics

Schools and Clinics Specific Challenges Current indications of inadequate school sanitation indicates that the problem is of such a magnitude that it cannot be resolved within the currently available budget. As the program develops more detailed data, accurate funding requirements and motivations will be developed for consideration by Treasury. It is essential that this opportunity be used to resolve all backlog issues in schools and clinics. Schools and Clinics

Agreed Principles: Backlog data; criteria & solutions Because of difference in definitions of the term backlog, backlog data currently available from Health and DoE not compatible. A shared common understanding was agreed upon. Also agreed to develop shared common criteria in respect of designs and costing models This criteria was be applied to the agreed data sets resulting in clustering of similar solution sets within Provinces, which will guide implementation planning The above process was applied to provide 1st order budget allocation information. Schools and Clinics

Schools and Clinics Specific Challenges Access to data remains a challenge. DoE has embarked on a comprehensive data collection program. Reported levels of confidence in the information being gathered however varies and DWAF does not yet have access to this data. Provincial Education Departments themselves maintain data sets of varying levels of confidence. A complete picture can only be formed once these sets have been merged and interpreted in terms of a common shared definition set. Schools and Clinics

Bucket eradication Multi-year allocation (Part of MiG: 2005/06 - R200 m 2006/07 - R400 m 2007/08 - R1bn Targets for the MTEF Eradication of all remaining buckets (132 671) was due by Dec 2007 Question asked: It is not true that buckets have been eradicated? What does the change the service level standards (VIP Vs Water Borne) mean?

Bucket eradication Specific Challenges: Community expectations (VIPs vs waterborne) Inadequate water resource & bulk sewerage infrastructure to support waterborne sanitation Procurement processes of municipalities (take time to appoint contractors) Unavailability of local contractors due to many infrastructure projects underway
