NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN “Ensure that all schools meet minimum standards for infrastructure and commit to progressively upgrading each school’s infrastructure to meet

• ptimum standards.”

National Planning Commission: National Development Plan, November 2011)

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN…

“School infrastructure backlogs have been considerably reduced over the past 10 years. But many school environments are still not conducive to learning. The Department of Basic Education has committed itself to eradicating 496 inappropriate structures, providing basic water to 1 257 schools, providing basic sanitation to 868 schools and providing electricity to 878 schools in the 2012/13 financial year. To meet these commitments, the department will have to:

• Find ways to deliver infrastructure and services more

efficiently and cost-effectively

• Improve the quality of information used for planning.”

National Planning Commission: National Development Plan, November 2011)

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN…

“Take learner safety into account when planning infrastructure.”

National Planning Commission: National Development Plan, November 2011)

BACKGROUND

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

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

• The Provincial Schools Build Programme is implemented by provinces and it

targets the provision of basic services, new schools, additions to existing schools, new and upgrading of services and maintenance. It is funded through the Education Infrastructure Grant and the Provincial contribution through the equitable share.

• The Accelerated School Infrastructure Delivery Initiative is a programme driven by

the DBE to address school's infrastructure backlog on schools that do not meet the basic safety norms and standards. It is funded through the Schools Infrastructure Backlogs Grant. The purpose of the programme is for the eradication of schools made entirely of inappropriate structures and the provision of basic level of water, sanitation and electricity to schools.

• The Sanitation Appropriate for Education initiative (SAFE) is a programme driven by

the DBE to eradicate all pit latrines and other forms of unacceptable sanitation, provide safe and appropriate ablution facilities as well as address insufficient or inadequate sanitation facilities and maintenance of all ablution facilities

7

KEY AREAS

• Construction, maintenance, upgrading and rehabilitation of new and

existing infrastructure in education including district and circuit accommodation;

• Provide infrastructure to match curriculum requirements;
• Replace inappropriate schools;
• Provision of basic services;
• Address damage to infrastructure caused by natural disasters;
• Extend existing schools with additional classrooms/facilities;
• Address achievement of the targets set out in the minimum norms and

standards for school infrastructure; and

• Enhance capacity to deliver infrastructure in education.

• Effective monitoring of the provision of infrastructure Professional Service

Providers (PSP’s) and Implementing Agents (IA’s) that the Department of Basic Education and provinces are utilizing for the implementation of the infrastructure programme.

• Monitoring addresses planning, budgeting, expenditure, procurement and

project management. These are interrogated and a sample of projects are

• visited. Based on the findings from these visits, remedial actions are

devised 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
• f 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 Agent for projects that were already planned and designed in previous financial years.

• IA’s lack of capacity resulting in extension
• f times, variations orders and delayed
• ccupation of the asset,
• Inaccurate reporting and poor project and

programme management.

• Contractors lack of capacity resulting in

poor quality of infrastructure.

• The IAs not meeting the milestone and

expenditure targets as per IPIPs

• The contractual obligations not carried out

as per the signed SLA with the implementing agents Programme/ Project Management

• Approval of projects for implementation by the

PED’s prior to the commencement of implementation.

• The internal capacity through works inspectors

closely 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

CHALLENGES / REMEDIAL ACTIONS

CHALLENGES REMEDIAL ACTION

• Planning and implementing within

the same year is the major cause of delay.

• All the projects for the next financial

year will be allocated to the IAs at the beginning of the fourth quarter, for planning to commence within the current financial year.

• To ensure that implementation

commences at the beginning of the financial year.

• The procurement process is delaying

the commencement of construction.

• Project monitoring to ensure that all

projects are completed in time and the quality is up to standard.

• Increase the capacity to monitor

project implementation.

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.
