Provincialisation of Primary Health Care
• Key issues– Provincial health departments have tried
implementing, provincialisation with varying degrees of success.
– Opposition to provincialisation has come particularly from the metropolitan municipalities and SALGA.
– Different levels of provincialisation per province – District Municipalities: generally support
provincialisation and Metros are in favour of assignment PHC to the Metro
– The secondment of staff to the provinces is unconstitutional, and is hampering the effective delivery of services.

Provincialisation cont
• NMA resolves– “Supports Provincialisation but with the proviso
on the progressive de-centralisation of the function to municipalities that have the capacity”

Devolution of the Housing function• Key issues
– Housing can best be delivered by the sphere of government closest to the communities,
– Housing delivery needs to be aligned with other built environment functions that are a responsibility of local government, such as infrastructure, public works programs and basic services,
– Municipalities are a logical site for the effective alignment of inter- departmental and intra-governmental funding streams that eventually contribute to the development of sustainable human settlements,
– Delivery of housing does not generate any revenue for municipalities, therefore the assignment of the function to local government must be accompanied by associated funding from the national fiscus.
– If municipalities were to be assigned the function, the sheer number of institutions (municipalities) that would be responsible for delivery provides an opportunity to improve the rate of delivery.
– Assignment of the delivery function to municipalities provides an opportunity for provinces to monitor and supervise delivery by municipalities and develop appropriate capacity to focus on this function.

Devolution cont• NMA resolves
o In the short term, advocate for Metros and category B1 municipalities to be allocated responsibilities equivalent to level 2 accreditation responsibilities by June 2010, in the short term,
o In the medium to long term, the current housing delivery functions allocated to provinces should be devolved to local government.
o When the function is devolved to local government its allocation between category B and C municipalities should be aligned to the allocation of other key built environment functions such as water supply, sanitation, local roads etc.
o Funding for built environment functions must be integrated into a single funding stream
o National Department for Sustainable Human Settlements position must position itself to play a sector leadership and regulatory role.
o District municipalities and/ or Provincial governments must prepare to take more of an ongoing strategic support role to municipalities that are responsible for the housing function.
o SALGA must ensure that there is ongoing capacity building on effective delivery of the housing function.

17th
Constitution Amendment Bill (REDs)
• Key issues– The nature of the relationship between the REDs
and municipalities– Local government participation in the discussions
regarding the Draft 17th Constitution Amendment Bill
– Structuring of the negotiations process– The nature of the transaction– The concept of a “Consolidator” and the role of
EDI in the negotiations process– The municipal preparatory processes towards the
establishment of the REDs

REDs cont
• NMA resolves– SALGA in support of EDI restructuring– Constitutional amendment does not obviate the
need to finalise key policy issues on EDIR– EDI Restructuring legislation must accompany
constitutional amendment– Municipalities to remain service authorities for
electricity provision– Electricity funding streams to be secured through
agreements with REDs, including surcharges and dividends
– Municipalities must be majority economic benefit shareholders in REDs
