Recommendations by Select Committee on

Appropriations on 2012 DoRB and 2012 MTBPS (4 of 5)

Committee Recommendation

Response

• All provincial

treasuries to

implement

effective

systems to

monitor

conditional

grant spending

by provincial

departments

• Minister of Finance welcomed recommendation and

referred matter, in writing, to Finance MECs for attention

• DORA requires that business plans by a national

transferring officer be approved by provincial treasuries.

This forms basis for monitoring performance. Both the

financial and non-financial reports prepared by

provinces are submitted to National Treasury via

provincial treasuries, who verifies the information.

Provincial treasuries are thereby able to monitor both

financial and non-financial performance on a monthly

and quarterly basis. Also, provincial treasury analysts

have access to the Basic Accounting System (BAS)

where they can monitor expenditure on conditional

grants on a daily basis

South Africa’s Fiscal Framework

20

• Countercyclical response to

financial crisis turned a budget

surplus to a deficit

• Weaker-than-expected revenue

growth widens deficit to 5.2% in

2012/13

• Deficit narrows to 3.1% of GDP by

2015/16 in line with expected

improvement in the economy and

slower expenditure growth

• Government has:

– Trimmed growth in national

department expenditure

– Reduced the contingency

reserve by R23.5bn

– Reprioritised R52.1 billion in

support of key priorities

• Core spending is reduced by

R10.4bn over the medium term

• Expenditure reviews will increase

efficiency and eliminate waste

2011 Census revealed the scale of challenges

facing South Africa

Population growth (per province, 2001 – 2011) Changes in household numbers have been

even more dramatic in some municipalities: National

population

growth:

16%

Backlogs remain a major challenge (number of households without access)

But many more households have access to services (number of households with access at RDP standard)

How the Division of Revenue responds to

these challenges

• South Africa has pressing needs for the delivery of infrastructure and

services, but limited fiscal space. Government must learn to do more with

existing resources

• Some of the key ways the 2013 DoRB responds to this challenge :

– A new local government equitable share formula that increases

transparency and will promote accountability for the use of resources

– Reconfiguring health infrastructure grants to promote flexibility in

delivery

– Introducing a new system for allocating provincial infrastructure

grants that will link funding to planning (impact form 2015)

– A new Municipal Water Infrastructure Grant administered by DWA

(with assistance from water boards) to accelerate backlog eradication

Major changes to provincial conditional

transfers

• Devolution of Property Rate Funds Grant phased into equitable share

– Allocations will be as an “odd on” based on provincial conditional grant

expenditure shares for three years

• Reforms to health grants to provide greater flexibility

– Merging of health infrastructure grants (s7(3))

– Creation of an indirect grant (health infrastructure and NHI components)

with possibility to shift to a direct grant (new s20(1)(b)(iv))

• New Provincial Roads Maintenance Grant formula

– New formula based on provincial road networks, road traffic and

weather conditions

• Human Settlements Development Grant

– Potential devolution to cities (s16(5)–also applicable to public transport)

– Plan to revise formula over the MTEF

• 2014 African Nations Championship health and medical services grant

• Provincial infrastructure grants (see next slides)

A new approach to institutionalise planning –

provincial infrastructure grants

• Failure to complete infrastructure projects on time and in budget usually

begins with poor planning

• The 2012 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement said:

– “Over the next three years government aims to achieve better value

for money from investment in provincial infrastructure. A new

approach to infrastructure conditional grants is intended to

institutionalise proper planning. Provinces will be required to bid

for these allocations two years in advance and financial incentives

will be built into the grant for provinces that implement best

practices in delivering infrastructure”

• A new approach is being introduced for health and education

infrastructure grants that will require provinces to begin submitting plans

in 2013/14 for funds to be received in 2015/16

• If plans (and subsequent project packaging) do not meet the

requirements prescribed, provinces will not receive grant funding

Implementing the new approach

The proposed approach seeks to: • enforce proper infrastructure and procurement planning for infrastructure

projects/packages

• ensure that project implementation results in better value for money

• reward provinces that follow best practices for planning and procurement by

establishing a performance based funding mechanism with incentives

• support the development of appropriate capacity and systems

The approach is supported by changes in the 2013 DoRB: • Section 26(3)&(4) require for provinces to submit plans in line with the bidding

process for the grants

And complimented by: • Draft Treasury Regulations on the Standard for the Infrastructure Delivery

Management System (IDMS) and the Standard for Construction Procurement

Strategy (CPS) – these will promote better planning and procurement

• The 2013 DoRB also promotes improved capacity by requiring compliance with

DPSA capacity requirements for infrastructure units, and reporting on positions in

these units

LGES Allocation

1 2 3

LGES = BS + (I + CS) x RA ± C

Where:

• LGES is the local

government equitable share

• BS is the basic services

component

• I is the institutional

component

• CS is the community

services component

• RA is the revenue

adjustment factor

• C is the correction and

stabilisation factor

Schematic of how the formula works The new Local Government equitable share (LGES) formula :

Page 48: 2013 Division of Revenue Billpmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/docs/...2013 Division of Revenue Bill Joint meeting by the Standing and Select Committees on Appropriations

• Old formula produced allocations per poor household that were lowest for municipalities with

the least ability to raise their own revenue

• New formula corrects this with a much more redistributive structure

More realistic level of institutional funding for those municipalities

that need transfers to sustain their administration

Includes funding for community services

• Simpler formula structure is more transparent

• Higher affordability threshold (includes 59% of households)

• More realistic cost estimates for basic services

• Capability to update data (basic service costs and population)

Phasing-in the new allocations

• Large changes in allocations for some

individual municipalities (due to new

formula & updated 2011 Census data)

• Proposed five-year phase-in to cushion

impact

– ‘losing’ municipalities see allocations reduced

by 20% of the difference between old and new

formulas each year

– Funded by ‘gaining’ municipalities, giving them

time to adjust to higher allocations

Neighbourhood Development Partnership

Grant allocations

• The Neighbourhood Development Partnership Grant has undergone a

review and a new strategy, aligned with the National Development Plan,

is being implemented.

– The grant will focus on being a catalyst for the development of densified and

interconnected hubs that transform the fragmented economic and spatial patterns of

development in our cities.

– Projects not aligned to this strategy are being completed and closed out. The

Department of Rural Development will take over small town projects.

• The allocations included in the annexures to the DoR Bill were based on

draft allocations before municipal assessments had been completed and

allocations had been aligned with the new strategy.

• The revised allocations were not included in the final Bill as the result of

a technical oversight. National Treasury apologises for this error.

• The Committee is requested to note this error and recommend that when

National Treasury gazettes the allocations in terms of Section 15, the

correct allocations are used.

Integrated National electrification

Programme (municipal) allocations

• R320 million is added to the INEP (municipal) grant for a pilot of the

Approach to Distribution Asset Management that will refurbish key

municipal electricity distribution infrastructure.

• These amounts will be allocated and transferred through the INEP grant

• Unfortunately the allocations per municipality captured in the Bill do not

capture these allocations for the ADAM projects. The Department of

Energy revised these allocations, but due to a technical oversight these

were not captured in the Bill. National Treasury apologises for this error

• The Committee is requested to note this error and recommend that when

National Treasury gazettes the allocations in terms of Section 15, the

correct allocations are used.

• National Treasury will implement additional checks in the 2014 Budget

Process to avoid a recurrence of these errors.
