ONE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Continue with the updating of the consolidated report on the tracking of the implementation of catalytic projects. 12
PROVINCIAL DDM UPDATE PROVINCE Eastern Cape SUCCESSES The province has submitted all the updated One Plans by 31 March 2023. Intergovernmental implementation commitments in One Plans (ORT-R33b; NMBMM R14.6b; SBDM-R1.6b; Alfred Nzo R145b; JGDM-R8.7b; CHDM-R3.2b; ADM-R318m; BCM-R45.2b) Existing IGR structures are utilised for DDM - Provincial DDM coordination is done through a DDM nerve centre (Prov.COGTA, OtP, PT, ECSECC). Five updated One Plans submitted. OtP and prov.COGTA working with UFS in providing support in improving One Plans. Prov.COGTA working with SALGA in rolling-out a DDM training program for councillors. DDM IGR structures in place. Private sector has to some extend taken part in the development of the One Plans, especially in Lejweleputswa. CHALLENGES Districts and metro requires further engagement with Business, and Civil Society, tertiary institution to co-create the inter-sectoral DDM Work Streams. Lack of National Sector Depts, SOEs, Business and NGO involvement in DDM processes. National departments do not attend IGR meetings, except for SAPS, Home Affairs and the DPME Participation of private sector in the development of One Plans is still a challenge SOEs have not participated in the development of the One Plan Unfunded catalytic projects in One Plans. The province indicated the submission of the updated One Plans will be submitted to COGTA. Free State Sedibeng DDM technical hub established. A DDM GIS and implementation tool developed for the province. Various DDM partnerships established, ie CSIR, Water Research Commission, Mining Qualification Authority, UJ and National School of Government. Gauteng 13
PROVINCIAL DDM UPDATE PROVINCE SUCCESSES CHALLENGES Kwa-Zulu Natal DDM technical and political hubs established in ALL Districts and Metropolitan Municipalities. Eleven One Plans submitted and uMkhanyakude submitted as drafts as currently awaiting the endorsement by the Political Hubs. DDM implementation dashboard developed-quarterly monitoring of One Plan programs and projects. Major challenge with involvement of key national sector Departments, however constant involvement from COGTA, MISA, Labour, SASSA, ESKOM, Correctional Services, Justice and the NPA. Limpopo Final updated One Plans submitted for all Districts Municipalities. The Office of the Premier and Provincial COGTA played a critical role in coordinating the development of the One Plan across the province apart from Waterberg district which as a DDM pilot district, was coordinated through the DDM District Hub. It should be noted that the Waterberg One Plan strictly followed the One Plan Content Guidelines given the technical capacity provided by the DDM Hub and the appointed service provider With regards to the drafting of the One Plans; the districts were mainly tasked with drafting the One Plans with the support of the OTP and CoGHSTA. There is a need to improve the spatial referencing of projects. In this regard, municipalities need to be supported to establish and enhance their GIS capacity. Participation of national and provincial sector departments in the development of the district One Plans was very limited. In this regard, there is a need to strengthen the participation of all spheres in the process which will ensure that the plan becomes an all of government plan Mpumalanga Final updated One Plans submitted for all Districts Municipalities. In Nkangala District (NDM) there are 20 Catalytic Projects in the One Plan- 09 of these projects are funded with an amount of R8, 2 billion. The Gert Sibande District One Plan has 35 funded catalytic projects - 33 of these projects are funded with a budget allocation of R29, 4 billion and 10 projects have been completed. In Ehlanzeni One Plan 13 catalytic projects to the value of R60 billion rand- the Sibange and Driekoppies Bulk Water Schemes (R279 million) is 91% complete. There s still challenges of silos, misalignment and poor integration not adequately addressed by the introduction of the DDM Approach. There was poor participation of key national departments and public entities in the One Plan process. Commitments by Sector Departments do not adequately serve the purpose of realizing the objectives of One Plans as long- term intergovernmental plans since there is only provision for annual programmes and projects, some at the level of the IDP. 14
PROVINCIAL DDM UPDATE PROVINCE SUCCESSES CHALLENGES Northern Cape Final updated One Plans submitted for all Districts Municipalities. One plan projects are included in the IDPs of ALL district and local municipalities. Limited expert capacity for the coordination of the DDM and the implementation Limited legislated instruments for the facilitation of One Plans and One Budget DDM structures were established though they only convene when the Political Champions is visiting the District. DDM implementation is a standing item at District IGR forum North West Final updated One Plans submitted for all districts. It remains critical for National and Provincial Sector Departments to become participants at a strategic level. Identification of key stakeholders outside of government (development of a matrix of stakeholders) could not be concluded as information relating to this is known by the Provincial and National Sector Departments. In this regard, Districts should be supported to identify these stakeholders as they relate to each District. Western Cape Updated Joint and District Metro Implementation (JDMA) Plans / One Plans submitted for the 5 districts. No One Plan submitted for the City of Cape Town Metropolitan space. Provincial Ministers and HoDs assigned to Districts to strengthen interface within government. JDMA interface teams consists of senior officials per District set-up. Department Local Government set-up a JDMA Grant to provide funding for key service delivery projects identified through the JDMA There is a need for improved commitments and participation by National Departments and SOEs in ALL Districts. Changes in Municipal Councils and the effects of coalition governments impacts negatively on the JDMA 15
Critical next steps DPME and DCOG to streamline roles and responsibilities for better coordination and monitoring of the DDM Enhance inter-governmental relations and institutionalisation of DDM across government Monitoring of the early warning systems, rapid response mechanisms and practical interventions to pre-empt and respond to crises at local government level Monitor and improve the performance of government and strategic focus on results Better leverage and support the roles of Political Champions on DDM Monitoring the implementation of the National Strategic Hub on DDM. 16
