12. 12 Expected Outcomes -LandCare All funds will be committed by end of January 2008. Expected spending by end March 2008 will be R6,943mill. Expected to be rolled over R1,8mill.

13. 13 DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES Assessment and program review revealed the need to move from quantity to quality (economic feasibility and impact) Late appointment of planning engineers in line with a change of strategy from delivery of minute to massification, which necessitated detailed planning, therefore very delayed implementation with both happening in the same year – performance still expected to be just over 90% (R58,650 000) Managing slow conceptualization to change of strategy by both farmers and officials took over 14months. Engineering capacity to monitor mega projects is limited.

14. 14 PLANS TO ADDRESS THE SHORTCOMINGS Massified approach delivers fewer, and more sustainable projects which are cost effective to both planning and monitoring resources Demand officials have been capacitated on the procurement processes requisite to the mega projects e.g. contract management, drawing of TOR and SLAs Use of external engineering capacity where necessary Current readiness for 2008/9 evident that planning will henceforth be fully completed six months ahead.

15. 15 Challenges – IGP 2006/07 Poultry House Contracts was re-advertised in June 2006 contractors were on site. Fresh Produce market infrastructure delays due to Montina Seller withdrawal from Purchase Offer & cancellation of Lease at Seshego by ExCo Decision. (ExCo wanted an integrated Plan with LEDET & Funding Plan = +-R300m) Micro enterprises delayed due to Electricity connections but most are complete. Testing has to be done before finalizing and hand-over.

16. 16 MONITORING CAPACITY & PROCESSES LDA makes use of the following tools: –Monitoring tools developed (involve rigorous approval criteria) –Monthly narrative & financial reporting by Districts (with digital recording of projects status –Provincial team meetings involving Districts, municipalities & specialized agric service units –Ad hoc projects sampling and field visits. –Sharing of best practice across districts. All demand managers have been trained on contract management in order for them to enforcement adherence to the TOR and delivery of quality products LDA has complied with reporting requirements of Dora.
