SALGA PERFORMANCE PLANNING AND REPORTING FRAMEWORK

• The SALGA APP 2015/16 which represents year four (4) of the SALGA Strategic Plan: 2012-17 now consists of:– 4 Apex Priorities

– 7 Strategic Goals,

– 36 Targets/Deliverables

• Organisational performance reporting shall be based on the 36 targets and similarly for auditing by AG  

• There is a direct correlation between the SALGA APP and the Back to Basic Approach

• Current planning up to 2017/18 financial year although new strategy will be developed in 2016/17 post LG elections

10

Continuous efforts to streamline the plan towards greater performance and

reporting efficiencies

APEX 1: REVIEW OF THE LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY FRAMEWORK IMPACTING

NEGATIVELY ON LG

As highlighted in the Back to Basics Approach, the creation of an enabling environment for local government is a critical factor if we are to realise improved service delivery. It speaks to issues of good

and transparent governance, spatial transformation, decentralisation with coordinated and coherent support from all stakeholders.

Overview of Challenges

•The legislative environment remains highly problematic. It is often characterised by over-regulation, under-regulation or policies and legislation that are misguided. It is particularly problematic where it relates to powers and functions, reporting, finance and fiscal management.

Overview of Interventions

•To decisively address the declining confidence in Local Government. The outcome here is to stabilise the sector & achieve institutional consolidation reflected in a strong anti-corruption, accountability and consequence management regime in the sector

•SALGA’s influence in legislative and policy review processes is a key priority. The outcome is to reduce over-regulation, inappropriate regulation, unblock bottlenecks in the current legislative dispensation

•The policy and legislative regime must consolidate decentralisation, strengthen LG and place it at the forefront of leading spatial transformation and economic development at a macro and local level in South Africa

12

Page 13: Www.salga.org.za 1 APP 2015/16 Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on COGTA 10 March 2015

www.salga.org.za

Expected Outcome By end 2015/16:

•Policy and Legislation that was targeted, reviewed and influenced by SALGA was supported by all stakeholders and passed by Cabinet and Parliament respectively

Expected Impact By end of 2015/16

•The functioning of municipalities was improved by revised or new policy and legislative frameworks that were influenced by SALGA and has resulted in spatial transformation, improved and sustained service delivery and accountability by municipalities and key role players in the municipal space

Apex 2 resonates with the underlying ethos of the Back to Basics approach – ensuring that the internal and external financial environment/fiscal frameworks are promoting sustainable and informed service

delivery processes. Effective growth and development should be enabled in both rural and urban settings.

Overview of Challenges

•The fiscal regime compromises most municipalities to deliver on their mandates. Challenges here include municipalities that have limited economic bases and by extension limited rates bases. This is exacerbated in most rural municipalities and declining urban economies having huge indigence’s and by extension huge populations that must receive basic services from municipalities while not being able to pay for them. Big urban economies are often recipients of large scale migration (urbanisation) which puts pressure on their ability to deliver on everyone’s expectations. Fiscal and budget planning processes are currently unable to address these challenges. This is made worse in some municipalities that do not have the necessary capacity and systems to administer even the finance that they are currently able to solicit.

•Fragmented infrastructure grant system (plethora of sector grants)

Overview of Interventions

•Strengthen relations with national & provincial spheres of government in building an enabling fiscal framework for developmental LG and ensure sound financial management within the sector, improve inter-governmental fiscal integration, equity and achieve financial sustainability of LG

FISCAL FRAMEWORK FOR LG

Page 15: Www.salga.org.za 1 APP 2015/16 Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on COGTA 10 March 2015

www.salga.org.za

Expected Outcome By end 2015/16:

•Through SALGA’s influence, municipal boundary redetermination, municipal funding, unfunded mandates, cost of compliance with new regulations (SCOA, SPLUMA) and the need for regulatory impact assessment framework was recognised by CoGTA and NT, accepted by Cabinet and corresponding equitable budgets appropriated by Parliament

•No municipality remains in the red zone regarding audit outcomes

Expected Impact By end of 2015/16

•There was equitable allocation to LG in the national division of revenue which empowered municipalities to fulfil their constitutional mandates resulting in improved delivery of municipal services in the country

•Accountability and public confidence in municipalities use of public resources is restored through better audit outcomes 15

Apex 3 is the driving force behind the Back to Basics approach, as it is apparent that the sector can only flourish when both the management and institutional practices are of sufficient standards to

deliver much needed services in a sustainable and transparent manner. There is movement towards the provision of long term capacity building processes with active and ongoing support to ensure

transfer of learning into the institutional system as a whole.

Overview of Challenges

•Capacity in municipalities has remained a stubborn challenge despite huge efforts and funds that have been dedicated to it. On the one hand municipalities are poorly structured and supported while on the other hand the human resources are often ill-equipped to lead or to implement policies. Skills development programmes have been unable to build the critical mass of skilled councillors or Local Government professionals. The high turnover of staff has also made a difficult situation even worse. Rural municipalities find themselves in the most vulnerable positions as they struggle to attract even the limited pool of skilled human resources.

Overview of Interventions

•Build strategic capability of municipalities to fulfil their mandates in delivering basic services, facilitating inclusive growing local economies that create vibrant livelihoods for residents to live, work and play governed by sustainable, transparent and accountable municipal authorities

APEX 3: IMPROVE MUNICIPAL CAPACITY

Page 17: Www.salga.org.za 1 APP 2015/16 Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on COGTA 10 March 2015

www.salga.org.za

Expected Outcome By the end of 2015/16:

•The capacity of municipalities to effectively and efficiently lead, plan, manage themselves and their resources and account to their residents was significantly enhanced compared to 2014/15 baseline and confirmed by good audit outcomes and service delivery.

Expected Impact By the end of 2015/16

•Local communities enjoyed visibly improved delivery of basic services, qualitative growth of local economies and employment was recorded and improvements in the quality of life of local residents was confirmed through objective evaluations.

Page 18: Www.salga.org.za 1 APP 2015/16 Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on COGTA 10 March 2015

Underlying the Back to Basics Approach is the need to tackle problem areas before they have escalated to the point that communities take action into their own hands and resort to protest and violence. Information and knowledge are fundamental ingredients in proactive

redress of challenges. Accurate and accessible data management is key to informed planning processes, and enables prioritisation of processes and concomitant financial

outlays.

Overview of Challenges

•A centralised and integrated Local Government Knowledge and Intelligence Resource remains a challenge and therefore makes it difficult for Local Government authorities to access information in a timely manner in order to make informed and reliable decisions.

Overview

•Reposition SALGA as a centre of excellence, knowledge, intelligence and innovation to heighten its influence in the IGR space, improved support and advice to municipalities by building high performance strategic capability, brand identity for SALGA and the sector, improved thought leadership to drive the BIG IDEAS agenda in the sector and internal change management to facilitate a shift towards outcome and impact orientation.

Expected Outcome By the end of 2015/16:

•SALGA had repositioned itself as a high performing organisation that drove thought leadership, provided a platform for sector specific governance and leadership discourse and established functional knowledge and business intelligence systems and sharing of best practice that improved its mandate as an effective Voice of Local Government.

Expected Impact By the end of 2015/16

•SALGA had become a reliable, self-sufficient and effective centre of excellence and source of sector intelligence, governance and leadership that improved the ability of local government to fulfil its mandate.

Local and District Municipalities 1% of annual salary budget with

a minimum of R500 000

NB: National Treasury (NT) has reduced the Grant for 2015/16 and completely taken away the allocation for 2016/17. It must be noted that we have

budgeted without the grant allocation from the budget for 2017/18 although still part of NT allocation.

Discounts for the MTEF to be taken up by members are projected as follows:1)5% for April - 30% of members;

2)3.5% for May - 30% of members;

3)2.5% for June - 30% of members;

Budgeting ParametersBudgeting Parameters

Growth rate

• The projected CPI for 2015/16 is estimated at 5.6%; for employee related costs the escalation is CPI + 1 percentage point i.e. 6.6%.

• CPI for the 2016/17 and 2017/18 periods is estimated at 5.5% and 5% respectively. The principle of CPI + 1 percentage point has been applied for employee related costs.

Membership levies (assumptions at 90% collections)

The membership levies are derived from the following formula:

Metros

• A flat rate of R 11 000 000 (being R 11 000 000 X 6.6% and rounded downwards) for the 2014/15 financial year; as it is subject to an annual inflationary increase (CPI).

Districts & Locals (New Rate)

• 1% of the annual salary budget, with a minimum of R500 000.

40

Proposed new formula from 2016/17Districts and Local Municipality membership levy increases will be calculated

CPI+1 percentage point using 2015/16 as the base year.
