DEVELOPMENT GAPS
• Non-aligned and non-informed project interventions, resulting in Lack of
community sense of ownership.
• Little or no local economic growth and empowerment due to continuous
use of consultants who parachute in with their people and material and
shoot out with all profits
• Inadequate project intervention impact perpetuate vulnerability of targeted
groups to the current socio-economic ills.
• Development interventions are of ad-hoc nature and as such yield
unsustainable Impact
• Unclear project exit strategies e.g. skills development and empowerment
programmes , thus creating continuous Dependency Syndrome .
• Departments and other institutions work in SILOS resulting in duplication
and uncoordinated interventions.
BACKGROUND OF CRDP IN MPUMALANGA
•
•

•
•
•
•
•
•
Mpumalanga Provincial Government took a decisive decision to implement CRDP
in the province
It was first piloted in Mkhondo and was later on rolled out to extra 7 municipalities
informed by SERO report
It is a basket of services by all development institutions within the same identified
site
In each of 8 municipalities, Council of Stakeholders (LCoS) were established to
implement and monitor the programme
A Provincial Technical Task Team (PTTT) was established to spear head
programme planning and monitor progress as per the IDP and CRDP Strategy
Provincial Political Task Team (PCoS) oversight the programme implementation
to give policy and strategic direction.
The main focus is on building local capacity and empowerment of local SMMEs
and cooperatives
Development is holistically targeting socio-economic infrastructure, social
services, skills training and jobs creation
The programme is people centred and advocates that local communities should
take major role in their development and livelihood

THE RECIPE OF SUSTAINABILITY

The strength of CRDP is in the institutional arrangement set up
The programme receives support from the Provincial Leadership through
Political Leadership (EXCO, Legislature & NCOP)
This helps to shorten the period of addressing bottlenecks and challenges
Oversight is provided timorously and interventions are informed by first
hand observation
Technical Task Team ensures that programme is implemented in a team
effort
Council of Stakeholder empowers local people to own their development
and as such develop sense of ownership
Municipality Executive Mayors pioneer implementation on the ground
making integration with IDP seamless.
In order to ensure proper planning, household profiling was conducted in
116 664 households from all wards of 8 CRDP municipalities

ON-JOB TRAINING – Investing in skills (MRTT & DARDLA)
The CRDP strategy emphasised
the development of skills as the
key factor of development. The
programme therefore focuses on
skills training and development in
all CRDP sites.
•1072 trained learners are placed
at different projects for onjob training
MRTT learners – Thembisile Hani
MRTT learners – Thembisile Hani
• They work on real
projects to obtain real
experience (CIDB,
NHRBC)
MTL learners – Nkomazi
• This is the recipe for
sustainability since
these trained people
apply their skills in
their own community
ROADS IMPROVEMENT – Cooperation & Partnerships (DPWRT, DRDLR &
Municipalities)
•

•
One of the major hindrances to rural
development is lack of access roads. This
lead to ineffectiveness of economic
activities in the municipalities. Improving
access roads in rural communities triggers
economic growth.
Paving of streets has been adopted to
increase job opportunities.
Bricks manufactured by cooperatives
Total of 369.57 km roads were worked
Paving of road in Dr Pixley ka Isaka Seme
• 4 867 Jobs Created
• 98 125 people

CRDP: SUCCESS STORIES (Lessons that other provinces are emulating)
•
Political and management leadership support. The programme and all its innovations have
been getting unwavering support from the political leadership and management from all provincial
departments
•
Local engagement. In addition to providing substantial matching funds to support rural
development, local governments have worked to ensure integration into local development
planning, rather than being stand-alone, top-down rural development initiative. Local government
financing was also instrumental in supporting the capacity development needed for the CRDP.
•
Catalytic finance. While public funding accounted for well over 90 percent of total programme
finance at the start, by 2013 private sector was contributing almost 40 percent of the total funding
via social investment. Without this funding, the government alone could not have been scaled the
programme.
•
Community mobilization and local partnerships. Community empowerment has been key to
ensuring both effective local service delivery and longer-term sustainability. Training and
collaboration with private sector and local municipalities provided local entrepreneurs with better
access to markets than it had been before the intervention.
•
Capacity development at all levels. The Programme focused on capacity development at all
levels help community members to better design, construct, and manage enterprises.
•
Integrated planning and implementation. As a basket of services stakeholders plan together
and align their investments in line with identified community needs
