INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND MUNICIPAL SERVICES (IDMS)

The IDMS function within ANDM is mandated with the core function of the District; Water Services Authority and Water Services Provision. The IDMS function is mainly funded partly through the Municipal Equitable Share as well as through grants from the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG), Department of Water Affairs (DWA), the Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA) and the Department of
These grants are usually transferred to the Municipality in tranches for specific service delivery targets. Failure to receive these grants on time affects the Municipality’s cash flows, and often also results in the Equitable Share being used to fund grand-funded projects. The ripple effect of this occurrence is service delivery on other departmental projects that cannot be implemented due to unavailability of funds.

Following are some challenges identified and proposed recommendations:
