On HRG challenges as a result of under-performing contractors, the Province reported that although mechanisms to deal with non-performing contractors are covered in the contracts, there are delays in invoking the penalties. They added that project delays have a negative effect on projects with dependencies - where a particular project phase needs to be completed in order to embark on another project phase. The Province further reported that there are inconsistencies in adherence to the reporting and coordination requirements within the service level agreements. The Province acknowledged that there is low spending on the Grant.
