Service Delivery watch

Service delivery challenges:

 

1. Poor areas vs affluent areas. This reflects the unequal society/ inequality.

 

1. Rural areas and informal settlements: lack of very basic services like road infrastructure, water supply, toilets, electricity.

 

1. Ward based budgeting. APC suggests that 20% of budget, as a start, be shared equally amongst all the Wards in a municipality. With a guaranteed annual budget it's easy for residents to plan, and prioritize.

IDP process, residents state their issues, officials decide which to fund, by how much and when.

 

1. A governance system that put the people at the centre of service delivery, through people's power can bring about transparency, enhance participation and timeous delivery. There would be no service delivery uprisings.

Persistence refers to the ability to continue with an activity, task or goal despite facing obstacles, setbacks, difficulties or failures. It involves a mindset of determination, resilience, and grit that enables individuals to maintain their focus and commitment to achieving their desired outcomes. Persistence requires discipline, hard work, and perseverance, and it often involves developing coping strategies and problem-solving skills to overcome challenges along the way. People who are persistent do not give up easily, but instead, they learn from their mistakes and setbacks, adjust their approach as needed, and keep pushing forward until they achieve their goals.
