Mr Mokhatla reported that in a MinMec meeting that was held the national Department of Human Settlements adopted a Macro Coordinated and Alignment Framework which seeks to foster cooperation and joint planning. The purpose of the framework was to promote and enhance the coordination of the sector departments and alignment of services such as bulk service provision, social amenities and other community across sectors. The provincial department had enhanced its intergovernmental relations with delivery partners that were municipalities, contractors or developers. It had also signed implementation protocol with Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA) and the National Housing Finance Corporation (NHFC) for rental stock. The development of provincial plans with a particular focus on the conditional grant business plan was based on a number of key aspects like the consideration of municipal Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) and the provincial Housing Chapters; integration of existing information initiatives and sustainable human settlements development and asset creation. The 2012/13 Departmental Conditional Grant Business Plan, Project List and Cash Flow projections were developed in full consultation with municipalities. The provincial department had planned to deliver 10 932 houses and rectify 1 285 units in 2012/13 financial year. The units include all the district municipalities.
