KEY ACHIEVEMENTS BY NDPW

Thousands of rural infrastructure projects completed to speed up development for the poorest of the poor

Growth and stimulation of broader participation of citizens in the construction and property industry. To date 79 construction related projects worth R180 million had been awarded to women. More than 3250 emerging contractors have been registered on our database. Since 1996/97 about 50000 projects valued around R400 million have been awarded to this group

In 2002/03 about R400 million worth of jobs have been awarded to the targeted business as part of the Department’s BEE policy

This trend is expected to increase over the medium term

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Property Management constitutes, inter alia, Rates and

Taxes, Municipal Services and Leasing. These are commitments that NDPW must honour so that

services offered by client departments are not disrupted. Failure to honour such commitments could result in: - Eviction of client departments by landlords Essential services being disrupted Law suits against the department Negative audit report resulting from unauthorised expenditure Poor service delivery by organs of state affected

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS In the past 3 years, serious damages have occurred

to buildings and infrastructures due to ground movement as a result of sinkholes.

An additional funding of R82 million is urgently

needed for the execution of engineering services in dolomite areas.

Such problems not being attended could result in serious consequences for the State with regard to loss of Sate assets, loss of life and legal claims instituted against the State

INCREASED SPENDING ON CONSTRUCTION

Since 1994 the construction component of GFCF (gross Fixed Capital Formation) has steadily grown. Most of this growth has however resulted from increased private sector investment with a real decline in public sector spending.

The construction component of GFCF is currently at 5.6% of GDP with general government contributing approximately 1.7% to GDP and public co-operations contribute a further 0.8% to GDP

INCREASED SPENDING ON CONSTRUCTION

Increased investment in infrastructure delivery will thus have to be accompanied by extensive skills and enterprise development in both public and private sector.

This skills development programme will provide direct support to the EPWP, the contractor incubation programme and other programmes that support the beneficiation of communities in South Africa.

THE EXPANDED PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMME

Page 12: 1 MEDIUM TERM BUDGET POLICY STATEMENT (MTBPS ) PRESENTATION TO THE JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Z Ntsaluba Chief Financial

12

ESSENCE OF THE PROGRAMME

Focus on using government expenditure to provide employment opportunities and training to unemployed people

Main areas of expenditure with potential are in infrastructure, environmental, social and economic sectors

Programme is cross-cutting and decentralised, like BEE – all government bodies must attempt to achieve the EPWP goals where possible

Page 13: 1 MEDIUM TERM BUDGET POLICY STATEMENT (MTBPS ) PRESENTATION TO THE JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Z Ntsaluba Chief Financial

13

INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SECTORS

In infrastructure sector, focus is on creating jobs through labour-intensive construction:

Most potential for increasing jobs through increasing labour intensity is in civil infrastructure – roads and municipal infrastructure such as stormwater and trenches for pipelines

Page 14: 1 MEDIUM TERM BUDGET POLICY STATEMENT (MTBPS ) PRESENTATION TO THE JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Z Ntsaluba Chief Financial

14

DPW has carried out detailed research into government expenditure on infrastructure:

Total infrastructure spend over next five years > R150 bn

Total conditional infrastructure grants to provinces and municipalities over next five years = R45 billion

R15 billion of the conditional grants will be earmarked for labour-intensive construction under the EPWP

Page 15: 1 MEDIUM TERM BUDGET POLICY STATEMENT (MTBPS ) PRESENTATION TO THE JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Z Ntsaluba Chief Financial

15

Aim to create 900 000 work opportunities from labour-intensive infrastructure projects over the next five years (five-year budget:

R15 billion from conditional infrastructure grants

Additional allocations to be determined from other infrastructure departments)

Range of environmental programmes are up and running, will create 200 000 jobs with training over the next five years (five-year budget: R4 billion )

Page 16: 1 MEDIUM TERM BUDGET POLICY STATEMENT (MTBPS ) PRESENTATION TO THE JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Z Ntsaluba Chief Financial

16

SOCIAL SECTOR

Social sector to focus on community-based care and early childhood development:

Highly labour-intensive, low overheads, cheapest jobs

Common delivery models through NGO’s and CBO’s need to be refined

Five-year budget: R600 million, to create at least 20 000 jobs with training

Large potential for expansion when delivery models are in place

Page 17: 1 MEDIUM TERM BUDGET POLICY STATEMENT (MTBPS ) PRESENTATION TO THE JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Z Ntsaluba Chief Financial

17

ECONOMIC SECTOR Economic sector to include income generating projects

and micro-enterprise development programmes:

Select unemployed people to go on enterprise learnerships

Include access to micro-finance

Target of 3000 learnerships with 15 000 employees over five years

Use general government expenditure on goods and services to provide practical work experience to learners

Training to be funded by SETA’s
