DCoG responded that the proposed SPV came about after an in depth analysis of the challenges affecting municipal infrastructure and service delivery, which were informed by the State of the Nation Report, the Local Government Turnaround Strategy and the need to deliver on outcome 9. DCoG reported that it cannot divulge the form that the SPV will take (there are a number of options) as it still needs to table the proposal to the Executive. DCoG views the SPV as an implementing agent and local municipalities would therefore freely enters into service level agreements with the SPV, with the local municipality being ultimately accountable for infrastructure and service delivery. DCoG has identified a lack of cooperation and coordination between the three spheres of government as a risk and will attempt to mitigate the risk by proposing that the SPV be a single window for coordination among the three spheres of government. DCoG acknowledges the need to bring in additional technical capacity in order for the SPV to achieve its goals and will draw on capacity within the private sector and government entities. The activities and outcomes of the SPV will be monitored by a joint monitoring and evaluation panel comprised of all relevant stakeholders.
