Problem Statement
The Municipal Barometer was established in response to the following
challenges:
 limited availability of local level data.
 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
The Municipal Barometer is an initiative of South African Local Government
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),

OBJECTIVES
The Municipal Barometer is anchored on a Local Data Partnership
which is aimed at :
•
Improving municipal governance and performance by improved planning,
oversight, benchmarking and peer learning
•
Identifying and addressing municipal data needs at minimal costs;
•
Making local level data available to municipalities and their stakeholders;
•
Managing access to data through a single comprehensive yet simple webbased portal; and
•
Building the capacity of municipalities to locate, access, interpret and utilize
data for planning, budgeting and governance processes.
