BACKGROUND• The sector provides infrastructure through three programmes; viz, the provincial

programme, the Accelerated School infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI) aswell as the Sanitation Appropriate for Education initiative (SAFE)

• The Provincial Schools Build Programme is implemented by provinces and ittargets the provision of basic services, new schools, additions to existing schools,new and upgrading of services and maintenance. It is funded through theEducation Infrastructure Grant and the Provincial contribution through theequitable share.

Construction

• Effective monitoring of the provision of infrastructure Professional ServiceProviders (PSP’s) and Implementing Agents (IA’s) that the Department ofBasic Education and provinces are utilizing for the implementation of theinfrastructure programme.

• Monitoring addresses planning, budgeting, expenditure, procurement andproject management. These are interrogated and a sample of projects arevisited. Based on the findings from these visits, remedial actions aredevised with the province and monitored by the DBE.

• Monitoring deals with both programme and project matters;• Programme matters include:- The pattern of overall expenditure being achieved;- Comparisons of expenditure to projected cash flows;- Progress being made with key groups of projects [eg. Water, sanitation,

libraries, laboratories, Grade R]- Management of the portfolio of projects [ie evidence that the programme

of projects is being managed effectively through the project cycle];

MONITORING

43

• At the Project level the focus is on ensuring:

- that PSP appointments are being made;

- that planning and design processes are progressing;

- that the tender process for the appointment of contractors is progressing, that

construction is progressing satisfactorily, [i.e. on programme, on budget, at

acceptable quality…]; and

- that projects are being handed over and closed out and that final accounts are

being wrapped up.

CHALLENGES & REMEDIAL ACTIONS

45

CHALLENGE NATURE OF CHALLENGE

REMEDIAL ACTION

1.

• Declining/ no allocation of the Equitable Share toward Infrastructure Delivery poses pressure on the Education Infrastructure Grant.

• Delay payment to contractors resulting in sites been abandon.

Budget/ Finance • PEDs are to allocate Equitable Share.• Delay projects on pre-construction stage to

commence to construction, whilst awaiting for adjustments.

• Monitor the submission of the invoices of the work done by the IA to ensure that work on ground is equivalent to the expenditure.

• PEDs and the IA to reconcile figures on monthly bases.

2.

• Lack of Programme Management System with reliable data information to enhance the planning and delivery of the required Infrastructure timeously

IT • Deployment and the implementation of a transversal system (EFMS) by all the PEDs to manage the data.

• PEDs to increase the IT capacity to house the system.

3.

• Excessive number of schools requiring maintenance

Planning • Re-alignment and reprioritisation of all the projects earmarked for maintenance to comply with the DoRA condition of the 30% allocation towards the programme.

• PEDs to ensure that projects are assessed to avoid duplications or over emphasis on the same schools.

4.

• Non- compliance with SCM processes resulting in irregular expenditure by the Implementing Agent

Procurement • PEDs to conduct quarterly audits to ensure compliance on all the process.

CHALLENGES & REMEDIAL ACTION (….CONTINUE)

46

CHALLENGE NATURE OF CHALLENGE

REMEDIAL ACTION

5.

• Late appointment of service providers(contractors) by the Implementing Agentfor projects that were already planned anddesigned in previous financial years.

• IA’s lack of capacity resulting in extensionof times, variations orders and delayedoccupation of the asset,

• Inaccurate reporting and poor project andprogramme management.

• Contractors lack of capacity resulting inpoor quality of infrastructure.

• The IAs not meeting the milestone andexpenditure targets as per IPIPs

• The contractual obligations not carried outas per the signed SLA with theimplementing agents

Programme/ Project Management

• Approval of projects for implementation by the PED’s prior to the commencement of implementation.

• The internal capacity through works inspectorsclosely monitors the projects under implementation.

• Monthly progress meeting with IA’s to improve on reporting and to mitigate any challenges.

• Stricter enforcement of timeframes as proposed by FIPDM schedule and the projects reassigned to IA’s that have the capacity to delivery.

• Amendment of the SLA’s to ensure that all engagements are regulated in order to be able to enforce of penalties on non-performing.

• Withdrawing and re-allocation of projects to other performing Implementing Agents.

• Project disruptions by Business Forumsand Local Communities

• Volatility of the construction industry leading to many companies going under and others filing for Business Rescue

Programme/ Project Management

• Continuous engagement with Local Community and Political Leadership to address the identified challenges.

• Effective and close project monitoring and forecasting of trends

BACKGROUND• The audit revealed that 3898 (desktop study) schools

still have inappropriate sanitation facilities.

• An allocation of R2.8 billion has been allocated for the SAFE Initiative over the MTEF as follows:

– 2019/20 : R700 000 000.00

– 2010/21 : R800 000 000.00

– 2021/22 : R1 300 000 000.00

• The SAFE Initiative will be implemented through:

– Provincial EIG allocation

– Partnerships/Donations

– SAFE Initiative Allocation

PLANNING, DELIVERY AND MAINTANANCE

▪ Integrated National School Infrastructure Sector Plan: All schools in the country profiled in

terms of their infrastructure needs in line with Norms and Standards;

▪ Revise Education Infrastructure Delivery Model: This delivery model will address:

▪ Expediting delivery of infrastructure projects,

▪ Controlling the cost of providing education infrastructure and;

▪ Improve Contracts Management Processes;

• Standard Floor Layout Plans and Technical Specifications : Develop standardised plans

and specifications for all Education Facilities (Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, Learner

Boarding Facilities, District and Circuit Offices);

• Establishment of an Education Infrastructure Planning & Management Agency / Bureau:

Infra Bureau/Agency to be set up at national level to centrally facilitate and co-ordinate all the

macro and micro planning processes, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all

infrastructure projects in the Basic Education Sector.

PLANS TO IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING AND DELIVERY

65

• Revise project prioritization model to use condition

assessment as a determinant for Project Priority List.

• Utilization of data from STATS SA , like population trends

at a local level, to ensure that size of schools built

addresses the current and future population dynamics;

• Review of SLA’s/MOA’s with IA’s to impose penalties for

non-compliance with progress delivery, deduct management

fees for non compliance or withdraw projects as a result of

poor performance.

• Strengthen Contract Management and Monitoring

processes on infrastructure delivery.


66

• Strengthen internal Technical Capacity to implement projects, ensuring:

- Qualified and Professionally Registered key personnel;

- Accredited Project Managers;

• Employee retention strategies for attracting and retention of built

environment professionals:

– Revise remuneration scales for professionals;

– Improve working conditions and provision of tools of trade;

• Increase the use of alternative building technologies for quicker

construction;

• Benchmark with other role players like independent schools to reduce

the cost of building schools;


67

FUNDING AND PARTNERSHIPS• Provinces to ensure that sufficient funding is allocated to the Equitable Share

and ring fence such funding for infrastructure;

• Condition Grant allocations (EIG) to be ring-fenced and used solely for the

intended purpose, as a condition of the grant;

• EIG Funding allocations to be per project on the basis of an approved Business

Case and progress on projects implemented;

• Diversified funding modalities for school infrastructure:

• Public-Private Partnerships (Build, Operate & Transfer – BOT);

• Donor and Grant funding;

• Rand-for-Rand Public-Private Partnerships;

• Partnerships with Institutions of Higher Learning and Non-governmental Organizations.

68

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that thePortfolio Committee discussesthe progress report onInfrastructure planning anddelivery as well as SAFE.
