Problem Statement

The Municipal Barometer was established in response to the following challenges:

limited access to data that is currently available

various institutions provide data, however, their activities are often fragmented and uncoordinated

huge costs that municipalities pay to get data

Association (SALGA) in partnership with Statistics South Africa (Statssa), South African Cities, Network (SACN), Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB), Centre For Municipal Research, (CMRA), Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA),
