  1. INFRASTRUCTURE SUMMIT 2010 VENUE: PETER MOKABA DATE: 05 OCT 2010

  2. INFRASTRUCTURE RESOLUTIONS OF INDABA 2008 TOWARDS A 20 YEAR PLAN.

  3. PURPOSE OF SUMMIT • To understand precisely level of integration there is in infrastructure delivery in Limpopo. • To Identify “apparent” infrastructure “gaps” • To consider institutional solutions to “apparent” infrastructure problems (e.g. schools, clinics and hospitals) • To identify various funding sources and options.

  4. PURPOSE OF SUMMIT cont.. • To look at the 15 year plan and realise if it is sufficient for the development of integrated funding models, integrated working models, and sufficient in terms of the skills shortage Limpopo has. • To develop innovative implementation models (e.g. PPP, turn-key etc.) • To determine what norms and standards are applied throughout the three spheres of government

  5. PURPOSE OF SUMMIT cont.. • To encourage integrated infrastructure planning between the three tiers of government, with special focus on Municipalities in terms of Strategic Development Areas (SDA) and Potential Development Areas (PDA) • To look at synchronisation, enhance planning as envisaged by the LEGDP with the results of the GIAMA intervention and the inclusion of the local IDPs

  6. RESOLUTIONS OF THE 2008 INDABA • The baseline created through the 2008 infrastructure indaba can be used as a platform for this summit. • The resolutions, together with notes on progress, of that indaba are listed as:

  7. RESOLUTION 1 All infrastructure development should be aimed at supporting the Limpopo PGDS (LEGDP). To monitor this, we will investigate the establishment of: • A Provincial project register • A Provincial project information management system • A Prompt payment practice note • A Payment tracking system

  8. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 1. The LEGDP has set out the following parameters for infrastructure: • It has established the Public Infrastructure Investment Programme, which amongst other things has acknowledged the pressing need to accelerate sustainable socio-economic development through rolling out mass scale physical, social and economic infrastructure.

  9. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 1. Core aspects being: • Bulk Infrastructure (Sewer, Water and Sanitation, Electricity and Communication) • Social Infrastructure such as housing schools and hospitals • Economic Infrastructure such as freight and logistics

  10. CONSTRAINTS:RESOLUTION 1 • Inadequate budgets to implement programmes • Lack of co-ordination of government departments • Poor asset register • Scarcity of Capacity and Technical skills

  11. CONSTRAINTS:RESOLUTION 1 • Transport Infrastructure is singled out and the following detail is highlighted: • Lack of good roads with only 7 345 tarred of the 21 971 kilometres of road networks. • Rural transport remains inadequate, especially in the former homeland areas. Many local roads in the former homeland areas remain unpaved, and many need maintenance.

  12. CONSTRAINTS:RESOLUTION 1 • Under-utilization of the airport infrastructure; • Un-sustainability of the market share split for goods transported by road and rail which is 87% and 13% respectively; • Lack of extensive rail infrastructure which limits exploitation of untapped mineral reserves;

  13. CONSTRAINTS:RESOLUTION 1 • Poor maintenance of rail and road infrastructure; • Inadequate public transport facilities; and • Limited mobility to access services and activities, e.g. medical, welfare, schools

  14. KEY STRATEGIC INTERVENTIONS Social infrastructure: • Housing, electrification and water utilities take priority due to immense mining and energy investments that have flown into the province. • This results in pressing demand for infrastructure development especially in areas where these developments are taking place. • Health and education facilities are also critical for human development of the people of Limpopo so that they are able to make a meaningful contribution to the economy of the province.

  15. KEY STRATEGIC INTERVENTIONS Transport and logistics • Road infrastructure is important for accessibility and mobility of goods and people. • Roads construction and maintenance can also create large numbers of local jobs. • No further provision is made in terms of special concessions or priorities in terms of infrastructure. This listing of, and approach, needs to be assessed and revised. The resolution of the Indaba

  16. RESOLUTION 2 Projects should be defined taking cognizance of life-cycle costing. This will include the following: • Planning • Implementation • Operation & Maintenance • Information Management • Research & Development, and • Capacity Development.

  17. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 2. • Through the Infrastructure Development Improvement Programme intervention and change management (organizational culture), performance measurement and a target setting in the individual Performance Indicators (PI) or managers and senior infrastructure managers. • Monitoring & Evaluation • Standardized Policy approach.

  18. RESOLUTION 3. Developing integrated Project Funding strategies. The “bankability” is dependent on the Project Definition. The funding model may include a combination of:- • Grant funding • Commercial funding, and • Revenue enhancement.

  19. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 3 • Infrastructure Grant for Provinces

  20. RESOLUTION 4. Considering innovative Contracting models: • Unbundling • Using Potentially Emerging Status • Using Joint Ventures • Using subcontracts • Bundling and Targeting • Term Contracts

  21. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 4 • Related to the policies and processes of various supply chain activities and models. • May be used to varying degrees in departments & municipalities, however there is • Need for government to adopt a method(s) of dealing with the question of infrastructure procurement in order to speed up service delivery. (clearing house?).

  22. RESOLUTION 5 Adopt the IDIP planning & implementation cycle in all Government Structures. Consider the synchronization of the planning processes and align: • State financial years. • Municipal financial years • Multi-year planning

  23. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 5. • The IDIP applies these methods, however • The rollout of IDIP to all departments is very crucial • The change process in this alignment has been introduced in LDPW, LDOE and LDHSD. • The extent of saturation is unknown and an analysis would have to be made of the observance towards this regime.

  24. RESOLUTION 6 To produce a 15 year INTEGRATED Infrastructure Plan in alignment with the PGDS and all other development priorities. Integration is required between: • National Government • Provincial Government • Local Government

  25. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 6 • A 15 year plan has been produced summarized below • The Limpopo Provincial Treasury (following on from the 2008 Indaba) commissioned the compilation of an Infrastructure Development Integration Plan for Limpopo

  26. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 6 • To ensure that planning, budgeting and implementation processes are synergised to meet the need for infrastructure delivery in Limpopo. • The purpose of the Infrastructure Development Integration Plan being the following: • The alignment of planned infrastructure projects with strategic development priorities;

  27. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 6 • The co-ordination of infrastructure delivery between the different tiers of government as well as delivering agencies; • Synergising the budgetary planning cycles and financial years of the three tiers of government; • The optimisation of impact through creating a multiplier effect; • Increase co-operation between the three tiers of government towards nodal growth;

  28. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 6 • The optimisation of funds utilisation; and • The optimisation of resources. • The focus will be on infrastructure delivery through the examination of its impact on the economy, based on expected migration patterns, population figures, availability of water and electricity and industrial growth clusters. • The ultimate aim is to identify alternative interventions for opportunities and potential investments, thus leveraging funding and providing skills to meet the demands and challenges that Limpopo experience.

  29. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 6 • The Technical Working Group, in the Office of the Premier, it is seen as a catalyst, a vehicle, to drive the progress towards 2030 • It forms a basis or platform from which work towards 2030 can take place. • Broad stakeholder workshops may assist in dealing popularising and development towards progress.

  30. RESOLUTION 7 Development & Implementation of capacity enhancement in Public Sector aimed to achieve accepted benchmarks: • Strategic assistants • Technical assistants • Skills transfer & development programme • Targeted bursary schemes & Internships

  31. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 7. • Most of the progress in this regard, has been through the IDIP intervention and it is believed that further development should be taken forward through the IDIP Phase III. • IDIP should be rolled out to all three tiers of government for all levels to be integrated and for the effects of this resolution to become effectively and efficiently implemented.

  32. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 7 • In terms skills, bursary and internships there is little co-ordination as departments and municipalities have their own skills development and bursary plans, however there are a few other incentives that are rolled out from various offices such as the Office of the Premier and national programmes such as the NYS etc.

  33. RESOLUTION 8 Development & Implementation of Service Provider capacity enhancement: • Consultant register (linked to project register) • Consultant empowerment programme • Contractor register (linked to project register) • Contractor empowerment programme • Building material strategy

  34. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 8. • National Contractor Development Programme (NCDP) are dealt with through the CIDB, provincial initiatives in this regard have not been developed as yet. However there are ad-hoc interventions made within some departments and their Supply Chain interventions.

  35. RESOLUTION 9 • Provincial programme to drive Asset Management. This should include: • Asset Registers • Maintenance schedules • Full complement of trained staff • Maintenance budgets

  36. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 9. • Through the implementation of GIAMA this resolution will eventually become fully implemented. However there is still much work to be done in order to address the gaps and to synchronize the departments into effective cross functional teams.

  37. RESOLUTION 10 Pursuing the establishment of a Provincial Infrastructure Coordinating Committee. The following interest groups will be invited: • Mining forums • Business forums • Provincial Government structures • Local Government structures

  38. PROGRESS:RESOLUTION 10 . • The advent of the TWG has given life to this resolution. • The working group has already begun its work together with infrastructure cluster in search for solutions fit for 2030
