TRENDS IN C-GRANT ALLOCATIONS

Before the inclusion of Social Security grants as part of conditional grants (2001/02 - 2004/05), the average total provincial Conditional Grant allocation was about 13 % of the total provincial budget.

If historical numbers are amended in order to convert Social Security Grants portion of equitable share to Conditional Grants, this percentage increases to 32 % over the same period (2001/02 - 2004/05).

From 2005/06 over the MTEF, the total Conditional Grant allocation constitutes 38 % of the total provincial budget.

INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING

Adjusted Infrastructure Budget: R1, 103 billion

Actual expenditure for 8 months: R638, 718 million

Percentage spent: 58 per cent

 

 

ON ACTION TAKEN TO AVERT UNDERSPENDING

PT is co-ordinating a provincial programme steering committee where infrastructure spending is discussed

Infrastructure unit in PT has been established

IDIP to assist in addressing identified deficiencies in Infrastructure Delivery Management (Toolkit)

 

 

PLANNING PROCESS

Infrastructure plans for 2006/07 have being received from departments and forwarded to NT.

18 contracts for 2006/07 finalised by DPW

5 projects to be finalised soon

The rest to be confirmed and finalised soon

 

CONCLUSION

Considering the fact that the Department of Social Development's projected under expenditure of R327 million takes the biggest share in terms of overall net projected under expenditure of the province, it is our view that departments need to improve their . spending with regard to Conditional Grants and Capital expenditure in order to avoid huge understanding.
