Key achievements

Organisational development

•Board and Board Subcommittees of the HDA in place

•Executive Management Team in place with key departments operational

•Policies and procedures that govern the HDA operating environment are in place

•Implementation of the strategy linked to performance management

•Written mandate concluded between the Minister and the Board

Key statutory and regulatory challenges

• Misalignment between the fiscal arrangements and the mandate of the Agency

• In some cases, sector role players view the HDA as a private sector service provider/ consultant, which adversely impacts on its ability to provide support in line with its legislated functions and mandate.

• More effort is needed to appropriately position the mandate, role and functions of the HDA within the sector in order to expedite achievement of the objects and functions of the Agency

Funding options and status thereofFunding options as per the HDA Act Status

Money appropriated by Parliament Currently only operating expenditure:•2011/ 2012 - R89.1 million •2012/ 2013 - R93.55 million

Donations or contributions received by the Agency with the approval of the Minister;

Nil

Interest on investments of the Agency Minimal interest in earned on unspent operational funding

Loans raised by the Agency, subject to section 26 Nil

Proceeds from the sale of land Nil

Fees for services rendered based on cost recovery Nil

Subsidies and grants granted by the organs of State Limited to cost recovery on S29 projects and grants from Provinces

In order to enable the HDA to fully perform its legislated functions, the quantum of the monies (including subsidies and grants) available to the Agency needs review

Implications of different funding scenarios

Scenario ImpactNo capital funding is provided by the NDHS

The HDA cannot achieve its (Land) mandate and will only be able to provide minimal support to provinces and municipalities

Provinces allocate capital funding

The impact will be limited to the provinces where funding is provided. The strategic impact will therefore be defined by the provinces

Capital funding is provided by the NDHS

The HDA will be able to fulfil its mandate and make a strategic impact in proportion to the capital at its disposal

Budget

The current MTEF allocation for 2011/12 is R89.1 million increasing to R93.55 million in 2012/13. It is considered that in the light of the legislated functions that the Agency is to fulfil, the current MTEF allocation is inadequate and would require review. Should the HDA be sufficiently capitalised to achieve its mandate, the operational requirement would increase.  

The HDA is not (yet) recovering its operational costs from the Eastern Cape PDHS. The total budgeted amounts for projects are as follows:
