A total number of 87 projects out of 544 HSDG delivered projects were verified through project site.
Assessment of Informal Settlements During the financial year under review the Department assessed and categorised informal settlements based on the following: • FULL CONVETIONAL UPGRADE consisting of full services, top structure and formal tenure(i.e. formalization where appropriate, affordable and visible (Category A) • INCREMENTAL UPGRADE WITH ESSENTIAL SERVICES (leading to eventual formalisation) where informal settlements sites are viable and appropriate but where formalisation/ full upgrading is not imminent (Category B1) • DEFERRED RELOCATION WITH EMERGENCY SERVICES for informal settlements sites where long-term formalisation(full upgrade) is not viable or appropriate but relocation is not urgent or possible (Category B2) • IMMEDIATE RELOCATION as a last resort for settlements where there are urgent health or safety threats cannot be mitigated and an alternative relocations destination is readily available (Category C)
Programme Delivery Support • Single DFI operational integration not yet implemented. The three entities were not yet integrated into a single DFI as they were still operating separately as at 31 March 2018 • Human Settlements sector Capacity audit not conducted in full. For instance, the audit did not cover Municipalities and there was no comprehensive capacity development plan for the sector. • 4 municipalities instead of 9 were assessed for accreditation, that is, Lephalale, Makhado, Musina and Greater Tubatse. • 10.42 per cent of the HSDG construction budget allocated to Women and Youth Contractors. • 8.09 per cent of the USDG construction budget allocated to Women and Youth Contractors.

Findings and Recommendations on the Impact of Human Settlements Development Programmes on the Environment Below are the findings and recommendations of the evaluation study on the Impact of Human Settlements Development Programmes on the Environment: • Environmental impacts of human settlements development: DHS developments cause impacts to air; biodiversity; noise; social; land and agriculture; and water. Many of the rural projects selected in the sample were exempt from environmental studies therefore environmental reports were unavailable to review. • Town Planning – the study indicates that it is important to consider sustainable designs that responds and takes into account issues of adequate space; waste management; and access to water. • Environmental aspects – this included recommendation about environmental sensitivity, environmental management programmes reports, environmental awareness and public participation and involvement of all the stakeholders (engineers, town planners, developers, etc).
Findings and Recommendations on the Impact of Human Settlements Development Programmes on the Environment • Intergovernmental relations and cooperative governance - Co-operative governance and intergovernmental relations between different sectors, and spheres, are vague, or simply do not exist, where they exist, the relations are poor. If proper intergovernmental relations exist, collaborative planning that may allow for the consideration and inclusion of many environmental impacts in planning phases may be mitigated. • EIP indicators - Current EIP indictors monitor general achievements of the goals of environmental management, but not those specified in the Guidelines for Environmental Implementation and Management Plans, which aim to provide measurable indicators for co-operative governance implemented to ensure co-operative environmental governance prevails
Findings and Recommendations on the Impact of Human Settlements Development Programmes on the Environment • Inclusion of environmental considerations in DHS Policies, Plans and Programmes - The EIP should allow for consideration of other impacts from sectors which will have an impact on the environment e.g. Densification; Energy efficiency; Water efficiency; Access to open/ green space; and Disposal of waste and adequate water and sanitation. • Co-operative governance and intergovernmental relations - There is insufficient consideration of occupation phase impacts, which reveals the importance of inter-governmental relations between different sectors and departments to ensure that a human settlements development is sustainable and adheres to the conditions and requirements established in the EIP. • EIP indicators – the study recommends that the EIP indicators should respond to the Guidelines for Environmental Implementation and Management Plans (Draft 3rd edition); • The parties, or departments responsible for ensuring that consideration of the EIP indicators are included in human settlements developments are not defined, thus there is no ownership thereof and no action to ensure such items are incorporated into developments.
