  1. S.A. CITIES RESPONSE TO HIV/AIDS Emerging Issues, Effective Mitigation Strategies and Suggestions for Implementation :Work-In-Progress: Towards A Long Term & Sustainable Plan of Action SA Cities Network

  2. Purpose of Presentation Based on the report: • Recognize the fact that a lot of innovative interventions are taking place at city level although not enough to change mind set and create a paradigm shift. • Suggest & inject new ways of tackling the cross-cutting issue of HIV/Aids at city level as opposed to (only within the) municipality. • Propose a workable plan of action that will be driven (centrally) by the SACN and (locally) by HIV/Aids domain specialist in conjunction with city indispensable partners (CSO’s, business & international community) SA Cities Network

  3. ? SA Cities Network

  4. The Operational Context Global, African & Southern Africa • By 2015, there will be 23 mega cities with populations in excess of 10 million. Of these, 19 will be in developing countries. • By 2020, Africa will have 11 cities having more than 5 million inhabitants and more than 3000 cities with populations in excess of 20 000 (an increase of almost 300% from 1990) • Africa’s urban population only constitutes 7% of the world urban population. Today, urban areas account for 34% of the total population • Sub-Saharan Africa’s urban population will approach 440 million, or 46% of its projected total of 952 million by 2020. • The average rate of urbanization in Africa is the highest in the world at 3.97% p.a. SA Cities Network

  5. SA cities and the national economy • In SA, 20% of towns and cities produce 82% of GDP • 80% of the economy’s manufacturing is concentrated in six metropolitan regions • During the 1990s, 58% of all new economic growth took place in just 4% of the country’s area • In the channel between Johannesburg and Tshwane which makes up just 0,2% of the country’s area, 24% of GGP growth in the 1990s took place • There is a direct correlation coefficient between the level of urbanisation and GDP per capita, although lower in SA than in comparable developing economies • Urban development is a national economic policy issue SA Cities Network

  9. Issues Emanating From The Report • Individualized, but uncoordinated, efforts are making a remarkable difference in the fight against HIV/Aids – unfortunately this is a municipality perspective • IDP is not necessarily driving city wide response to HIV/Aids esp. because of its nature (unintended consequence) & therefore no mainstreaming • Levels of urbanization is a major factor that drives the spread of HIV/Aids and related issues • Shape and form of governing is changing, influenced to a large extent by relations with CSO and business Cornerstone Elements of a Comprehensive City Response • Leadership, community mobilization, partnerships, integration, coordination, resource mobilization, inter-sector and cost recovery SA Cities Network

  10. The SACN Plan of Action2003/6 Objective • To change the manner in which HIV/Aids is being dealt with at leadership and practitioner levels within SA cities 5 Key Pillars of the P.O.A. • City Focused Technical Support • Mentoring and C2C Twinning • Supporting Research Initiative • Resource Solicitation • Information Dissemination & Lesson Sharing SA Cities Network

  11. Proposed Process-Map Henceforth… Mid November 2003 • Develop a concrete business plan (1st draft B4 14th November & final draft by end November) • Present findings of the report, proposed POA & business plan to city managers at the SACN Board meeting on 18 November 2003, Cape Town January-March 2004 • Resource mobilization and commence on city focused technical support, generation of city specific projects/activities and general implementation of POA June/July 2004 • Comprehensive lesson sharing event involving an HIV/Aids Academy, and Peer Review of a Chosen City SA Cities Network
