Resolution 10: NDPW to strengthen coordination between municipalities, Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) and implementing agents. Context : The Non-State Sector comprises 2 components i. e. q the Community Work Programme (CWP) managed by COGTA, and q NPO programme managed by NDPW. Progress: q The municipal strategy for the implementation of the NPO programme was presented at the Cities Networkshop and Provincial roadshows. q Most municipalities utilize NPOs for the implementation of the municipal projects , for example in North West province one NPO was contracted to assist with the revitalization of Mafikeng for the financial year 2013/14. q Municipalities are involved in the selection of the contracted NPOs through the provincial programme management teams (PPMT). q The Non-State Sector (NSS) projects implemented are in line with the IDPs of the municipalities. q The implementation of the CWP projects in a municipality is based on the municipal council resolution. Community participation is a critical requirement in site level decision making (through Local Reference Committees)

This expected as their targets are the highest, so they need to report high numbers to qualify for incentives. q Top 10 municipalities: Munic code ETH CPT JHB TSH EC 157 NC 091 BUF EC 441 EC 442 EKU Munic name Ethekwini Metro City of Cape Town Metro City of Johannesburg Metro City of Tshwane Metro King Sabata Dalindyebo Sol Plaatjie Buffalo City Metro Matatiele Umzimvubu Ekurhuleni Metro Prov KN WC GP GP EC NC EC EC EC GP Nelson Mandela Bay in 12 th place and Mangaung Metro in 24 st place NMA = 14 716 WO and MAN = 8 241 WO Projects 346 1 067 501 438 140 141 140 25 48 222 WO 64 957 49 142 47 253 37 381 17 808 17 094 16 976 16 562 15 813 15 032 38
Spatial distribution: Average duration 1 April 2013 – 31 March 2014 • • Average duration does not follow the same spatial pattern as the number of work opportunities, i. e. the longest average duration does not occur in the metropolitan areas. 18 municipalities have an average duration > 80 days with the following numbers per prov: • EC 4 FS 4 • KZN 9 LP 2 List of top 15 munics: • MP 9 GP 5 Munic code EC 104 KZN 285 MP 302 KZN 241 MP 322 MP 307 MP 311 FS 181 LIM 362 FS 195 MP 303 KZN 433 KZN 225 MP 323 MAN Munic name Makana Mthonjaneni Msukaligwa Endumeni Mbombela Govan Mbeki Victor Khanye Masilonyana Lephalale Phumelela Mkhondo Greater Kokstad The Msunduzi Umjindi Mangaung Metro District code DC 10 DC 28 DC 30 DC 24 DC 32 DC 30 DC 31 DC 18 DC 36 DC 19 DC 30 DC 43 DC 22 DC 32 MAN District name Cacadu Uthungulu Gert Sibande Umzinyathi Ehlanzeni Gert Sibande Nkangala Lejweleputswa Waterberg Thabo Mofutsanyane Gert Sibande Sisonke UMgungundlovu Ehlanzeni Mangaung Metro Prov EC KN MP MP MP FS LP FS MP KN KN MP FS Average duration 138 134 119 118 110 108 104 102 96 95 93 93 91 40 91
Conclusion: In year 3 of EPWP Phase 2, 87% (265 of 303) of municipalities reported. This increased to 98% in Year 4 (274 of 278) and 5 (273 of 278). Summary components: q As structures such as the DSC improve and mature, then these resolutions should be more actively monitored q Some of the resolutions are difficult to measure, for example no of projects designed in a LIC manner. There are indirect measurements such as increased LIC.
