Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on: BEPP AND RECOVERY PLAN ON USDG 14 SEPTEMBER 2012

What is USDG? Schedule 4 Grant in terms of the Division of Revenue Act (DORA); Allocation to the metros to supplement their capital programme in respect of infrastructure development, land release; Leveraging additional capital financing to contribute to the development of human settlements and achieve the outcomes of Sustainable Human Settlements and Improved Quality of Household Life.

3 Cabinet resolution in December 2010 that USDG be established MIG-Cities was established to promote integrated planning and to fund the urban built environment in the large cities MIG-Cities has, since been disestablished. USDG is intended as an instrument for metros to address linkage between public housing and economic growth to simultaneously contribute to Human Settlements Outcomes Background

Funding Funding allocation from the Human Settlements Development Grant (HSDG) and the previous MIG- Cities grant ; The funding is different from the MIG allocation.

Rationale for USDG Was introduced to address: – problems of inadequate control and management of investment in the built environment; – Inadequate coordination of planning and weak accountability of all role players; – Focus on the development of urban land and infrastructure that is intended to lay the foundation for local municipalities to gradually assume a greater role in managing built environment investments

Grant Outcome statements Sustainable human settlements and improved quality of household life defined by: – access to basic services and infrastructure – incremental improvements in security of tenure – access to social services and economic opportunities – improved rates of employment through skills development in the delivery of infrastructure – bridging the gap for infrastructure provisions within mixed income and mixed use developments

Outcomes: HS Plan to USDG OUTPUT 1: Investment in land and infrastructure development that is determined by need and guided by Integrated Development Planning and Land Use Management that promotes more compact and efficient built environment. OUTPUT 2: Investment in Infrastructure that:- i) Accelerates the provision of appropriately located serviced land with secure tenure and for accommodation for lower- income households, and simultaneously ii) Provides appropriately located serviced land to support economic development that results in job creation for the under-employed and unemployed urban dwellers.

Outcomes: HS Plan to USDG cont, OUTPUT 3: Investment in land that:- i) Accelerates the provision of appropriately located serviced land with secure tenure and for accommodation for lower-income households, and simultaneously; ii) Provides appropriately located serviced land to support economic development that results in job creation for the under-employed and unemployed urban dwellers.

Outcomes: HS Plan to USDG cont, Intergovernmental coordination Supply Chain Management systems Oversight and Reporting arrangements (audit outcomes, reporting framework, oversight structures and arrangements, anti-corruptions strategy and systems) OUTPUT 5: Sustainable fiscal and financial management of built environment assets.

Built Environment Perf. Plan (BEPP) Integrated Plan that is compiled in terms of the USDG conditions and procedures as laid in the DoRA and the Grant Framework A Built Environment Performance Plan should be a practical vision that actively and consciously guides urban growth and development with the administrative and financial instruments necessary for implementation

BEPP cont, It should be a plan that confronts urbanisation by focussing on the need for land, services, shelter with security of tenure, jobs, transport, etc A plan that invests in preparedness to balance poverty and economic growth; The BEPP must include targets for the Medium Term Expenditure Framework, as well as s specific annual targets; The BEPP should be the basis for negotiation between the cities and other spheres of government including state owned enterprises

CHALLENGES No breakdown of 2011/12 BEPPs – portion of HS not clearly outlined Reporting by metros all over the show – as a result there is no certainty as to what to report and to who Difficulty in monitoring due to non-breakdown by projects, project description including amounts; USDG mistakenly viewed as the responsibility of 1 or 2 unit, yet it cuts across Metros not clear on what USDG can buy - owed to Human Settlements definition in draft USDG policy

Responsibilities to National : DoRA The national department must develop proper indicators for the outcomes The national department needs to have a structured forum to meet with municipalities on a quarterly basis Monitor and evaluate the financial and non-financial performance of the grant, including quarterly summary reports on performance across municipalities Provide support to municipalities with regards to human settlements delivery Undertake oversight visits to municipalities

Responsibilities to National : DoRA Facilitate strategic and spatial planning related to human settlements development Submit an evaluation report on the 2011/12 municipal grant to National Treasury by 14 December 2012 Provide systems (including the Housing Subsidy System) that support the administration of the human settlement delivery process Comply with the responsibilities of the transferring national officer outlined in the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) Review and approve BEPP and integrated human settlements implementation plan Develop built environment performance measurement indicators that take cognisance of associated sector departments norms and standards for access to services

Responsibilities to Municipalities: Submit 2011/12 annual reports in terms of the BEPPs and Implementation Plans to the transferring national officer on or before 28 September 2012 and to National Treasury by 14 December 2012 Ensure that the municipal planning on human settlements and the built environment development plan are consistent and aligned with national priorities and provincial human settlements plans Comply with the terms and conditions of the receiving officer as outlined in the DORA Submit BEPP with Human Settlements SDBIP portion

RECOMMENDATION Analysis of the current BEPPs and propose amendment Alignment of the USDG and HSDG needs urgent attention ; While the USDG process had its own pace and timing for 2011, this needs to be aligned to the main processes in DHS going forward, especially in terms of the HSDG planning and reporting process; Combined involvement in the crafting of the payment schedule – cash flow; Closely monitor and request recovery strategy from metros with spending below the benchmark during mid-year-review.
