DATA COLLECTION
PROCESS
• Settlement pattern, conditions and topography• Top structures and settlement density• Infrastructure services
– Water– Sewerage– Power– Roads
• Community facilities/social services– Education and health care– Government– Recreational and social
• Commercial facilities and public transport network• Physical vulnerabilities and threats
SETTLEMENT SURVEYING
• Focus group meetings successfully completed during week of 7-11 April
• Discussion topics– Settlement history– Settlement growth and migration patterns– Economy and livelihoods– Community initiatives and projects– Vulnerabilities– Access to services– Community capacitation– Needs and prioritisation– Opportunities– Overall understanding of socio-economic status
COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONS
RAPID ASSESSMENT SHEETS
SETTLEMENT CATEGORISATION AND PRIORITISATION
• Following information captured during the data collection process was utilised to categorise the informal settlements– Location– Number of households– Land ownership– Density– Housing typology– Tenure status– Availability of basic services– Status of roads– Physical/infrastructural and environmental vulnerabilities
• Flow chart followed for determining appropriate informal settlement developmental responses (need for urgent relocation, implementation readiness, availability of alternative sites, etc.
CATEGORISATION PROCESS
CATEGORIES
CATEGORY DESCRIPTION
A
For current/pending full upgrade (i.e. full services, top-structures, and tenure). Site viable and appropriate for long-term upgrading and project is implementation-ready (land secured or imminent, town planning approvals /township establishment secured or imminent, all project funding secured)
B1
For interim services (interim basic services as a precursor to an eventual full upgrade). Site viable and appropriate for long-term upgrading, BUT project NOT implementation ready (i.e. cannot be expedited in the next year or two e.g. due to lack of available funding, land not yet secured, bulk services not yet in place)
B2For emergency services (basic emergency services with limited or no prospects for full upgrade). Site NOT viable and appropriate for long-term upgrading, but NO urgent need for relocation
C
For relocations (in the case where public health and safety is threatened). Site NOT viable and appropriate for long-term upgrading, AND urgent need for relocation (e.g. material and immediate threat to safety through flooding, slope instability, toxic waste exposure etc.)

STRATEGY OVERVIEW
• Part 1 : Introduction– Background and orientation
– Purpose and objectives of NUSP
• Part 2: National and provincial policy context– Legislation, policies and strategies
– Grants, programmes and subsidies
• Part 3: Mossel Bay municipal context– Provincial situation and municipal context
– Local and district municipal objectives and priorities
– Municipal informal settlement dynamics and features
• Part 4: Informal settlement response plan– Main responses for services, tenure and housing
– Detailed settlement response plan
– Description of main responses to promote integration and sustainability
CONTENTS OF STRATEGY
PART 4: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESPONSE PLAN
• Core section in final strategy– Programme of detailed activities for the upgrading process
– Set of interventions in response to the identified needs
– Not only addresses basic infrastructure and tenure interventions, but also
discusses steps required to increase community participation during the
development/formalisation/upgrading process
– Activities, projects and programmes aim to increase the level of integrated
planning and multi-sector delivery for communities
– Link proposed activities, projects and programmes to existing municipal
projects and initiatives
• Main responses for services, tenure and housing– Application of Phase 1-3 of the UISP (also case-by-case basis)
– Rental options and state-subsidised rental/social housing
– Micro-credit and community savings
– Finance institutions and community savings groups
• Detailed settlement response plan– Overview of settlement categories and the prioritisation process
– Interventions per informal settlement (based on categorisation)
– Land requirements• Developable area per settlement based on site visits, water areas and basic slope analysis
• Area of each informal settlement and the number of households that can be in-situ upgraded
• Size of land identified for relocations and the number of households that can be accommodated
on the land
• Suggestions with regards to relocations based on consultation with the municipality
PART 4: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESPONSE PLAN
• Main responses to promote integration and sustainability– Informal settlement upgrading to be approached in holistic and integrated manner
• Ensure that the outcomes are sustainable
– ISUS for Mossel Bay Local Municipality aimed at development of sustainable
communities on well-located land and in areas with long-term sustainability potential
– Not only requires appropriate responses to physical issues (services and housing), but
also requires appropriate responses to other less tangible factors:• Community participation;
• Local economic development and livelihoods;
• Skills development and economic sector alignment;
• Local spatial plans;
• Key social facilities, support programmes and special needs;
• Accessibility, public transport and non-motorised transport;
• Government sector alignment;
• Promoting densification and urban efficiency; and
• Achieving secure tenure
PART 4: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESPONSE PLAN
• Main responses to promote integration and sustainability– Each factor discussed in terms of:
• Goal based on theoretical background of key elements;• Status based on focus group discussions;• Existing projects or actions; and• Potential projects or actions that should be implemented to supplement and support the
relevant factor and ultimately enhance sustainability
– Proposed projects and actions should be, where possible, combined with
existing projects– Before these projects and actions can be implemented, more research should
be done on optimal ways of implementing these projects• Best suitable role-players • Potential funding sources
– Funding for the suggested projects and actions can be obtained from a variety
of public and private sources depending on the nature of the projects
PART 4: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT RESPONSE PLAN
• Part 5: Institutional arrangements– Multi-sector committee (task team)
• Part 6: Medium-term expenditure framework– Existing provincial and local budget allocations
– Upgrading MTEF
• Part 7: Risks, assumptions and mitigation actions
• Part 8: Monitoring and evaluation framework– Overall goals and objectives of the ISUP
– Monitoring and evaluation tools
– Indicators
CONTENTS OF STRATEGY
• Structure that will effectively manage the upgrading and formalisation of
informal settlements
• To be based on what already exists in terms of inter-departmental partnerships
• Consist of key departments and role-payers
• Be augmented by relevant District and Provincial stakeholders and external
advisors (NUSP and NDoHS)
• Important to have collaborative approach to planning and upgrading
• Integration of communities into system by means of representative forums
PART 5: INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
PART 6: MEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORK

PART 6: MEDIUM-TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORK
• Category C settlements
– Need for relocation calculated based on number of households that can be
accommodated on site after site constraints have been factored in (slope, water
areas, etc.)• Asla Park D – 40% of site is developable, and remainder too small to accommodate all households
• Gentswana A, Gentswana B and Thembani Street – 60% of site is developable, and remainder large
enough to accommodate all households
• Emfuleni - 90% of site is developable, and remainder large enough to accommodate all households
