HOUSING /SUSTAINABLE HUMAN SETTLEMENTS Amathole District Municipality plays a role with regard to housing development or sustainable human settlements development in our area, as outlined in the ADM Housing Strategy (IDP Sector Plan) adopted in 2007 and reviewed annually as part of the IDP review process. ADM Housing strategy inherits its main focus from the aspirations rooted in the Freedom Charter and has shifted its focus from Housing delivery to provision of Sustainable Human Settlements. This Plan therefore clearly mentions that a key development issue identified during the IDP processes is also “housing development”, which was listed as one of the most important issues for the District Municipality to address. Thus in 2005, the ADM Housing Development Strategy was conceived and adopted in June that year. The Plan has been reviewed each subsequent year. The Housing Development Strategy is a chapter of the Municipalities Integrated Development plan (IDP), in line with the legislative compliances. Furthermore, the strategy outlines ADM’s role in the Housing development is as enshrined in various legislative and policy framework. The following are detailed relevant laws and policies applicable to the housing service delivery arena: AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE HUMAN SETTLEMENTS The Comprehensive Plan, introduced in September 2004, represents Government’s ten year housing programme. The overall goal is to address the housing needs of the people, within the context of broader socio-economic needs resulting in sustainable human settlements.
ensure that the machines remain in good working order. In this regard, focus should be on training the beneficiaries in the operation and maintenance of the mills. One of the biggest shortcomings of the project, once again demonstrating poor planning, is that there is no storeroom for keeping the equipment and machinery. Neither is there a workshop for efficient operation of the business. Instead the equipment is kept at one of the beneficiaries’ homes. Value adding initiatives such as this are commendable, but these should not be undertaken without proper planning. f) Irrigation Projects and Schemes: The ADM has been responsible for revitalization of a number of irrigation projects, mainly with the provision of irrigation equipment and installation of irrigation systems, as well as fencing between the years 2006 and 2011, which means that most of the interventions in these projects are very recent. Most of the irrigation systems are not in the best operational condition or not operating at all, with only a handful of schemes operating effectively examples of these include the Zanyokwe and Chata irrigation schemes in Amahlathi and Zintukwini Irrigation. This should raise concerns as projects that have potential benefit small holders and their surrounding communities have failed. Examples include from support include Zekhenime Nogqala, Bongithole Irrigation Scheme, Maweleni Irrigation Project. Tyefu Irrigation Scheme seems to be doing well in terms of adopting irrigation methods that are more efficient and water saving. Additionally, there has been continued support for the projects with the Project receiving R8 million had been spent on the Tyefu Irrigation Scheme benefiting 1 678 farmers for the 2010/11 financial year. Other projects that received significant support under CASP are indicated below:

(EPWP). Government has a number of medium to long term programmes and strategies to address unemployment .These include: Improving the social security Utilising government expenditure Improving skills levels through education and training; Providing an enabling environment for industry to flourish; and Balancing economic growth with the economically active population. The EPWP is one of the government’s short –to- medium term initiatives which focuses on the use of government expenditure to alleviate and reduce unemployment. The EPWP will achieve this aim through provision of work opportunities coupled with training .Training is a key element of the EPWP not only as an exit strategy but also to increase the future employability of the participants. It is anticipated that the EPWP will continue to exist until 2030 as stipulated by National Development Plan as it has played a major role in poverty alleviation, reducing unemployment to disadvantaged communities. The EPWP is a national programme covering all spheres of government and State Owned Enterprises (SOE’s). In essence the EPWP involves re-orienting line function budgets so that government expenditure results in more work opportunities, particularly for unskilled labour. EPWP projects will therefore be funded through the normal budgets of line function ADM’s departments and project managers will not only target EPWP funds but must use 30% -80 % of their annual capital budgets towards EPWP. This will be complemented by periodical incentives from the provincial Department of Public Works. Opportunities for implementation of EPWP exist through various departments within ADM. For instance, labour intensive through public infrastructural projects (sanitation, water projects etc.), and non-labour initiatives such as learnership, training, and in social, cultural and environmental sector. CURRENT STATE OF EPWP AT ADM Execution context The First Phase of the EPWP PHASE 1 , which started in 2004 until 2009, was based on labour intensive /infrastructure programs like construction of roads etc. During this phase, jobs were created but it was also criticized for not creating enough, non-sustainability of jobs and lack of skills transfer. Thus, PHASE 2 was conceptualized and incorporated other aspects of the programme and it was implemented in 2009 by granting Incentive Grant to all public municipalities. This was done to
