OVERALL STRATEGYOVERALL STRATEGY Policies, planning;legislation;restructuring are in place –
the challenge for all sectors of society is sustainable implementation of services and growth
HOW CAN MIIU HELP TO ACHIEVE THIS, IN 3 YEARS?
MIIU is uniquely placed alongside all spheres of government, has implementation experience and skill, has credibility in the market and has the confidence of municipalities, to facilitate implementation through investment by both the public and private sectors; service delivery solutions within and between both the private and public sectors
Therefore, the next 3 years for MIIU are about “MAKING IT WORK”

consumers or taxpayers or a combination of both Ensure level of service (quantity and quality) is appropriate to affordability Ensure users and providers of services understand and agree to price and level of
service – stakeholder cost/benefit Develop appropriate performance monitoring in the public sector Take timing into account: maturity of the market; political climate; budgetary
flows Enable certainty for life of the project so that everyone knows what they are in for
Certainty in:– Legal and regulatory framework– Pricing policies– Who carries what risks under normal and abnormal circumstances– Decision-making procedures and accountability

Human Capacity: identify solutions and make recommendations which spell out implications; move from feasibility to implementation; monitor; preemptive and remedial action
Financial management: intergovernmental coordination so that planning is meaningful and prioritising/scheduling can be done with certainty – knock on effect on construction industry; financial services sector; stability in the local environment;accountability for spending decisions
On average, +90% of municipal revenue comes from own sources – local economic base is very important, but local economic planning can’t on its own overcome macro structural problems.

Legal and regulatory environment: • Local government legislation recognizes discretionary powers of
other spheres, e.g. Tariff capping; free basic services. Need for certainty of mechanisms for municipalities; private sector
Local government empowered by law to decide solutions and to carry the burden of risk: importance of local political responsibility for risk apportionment in a project• Requires cost benefit analysis to establish UP FRONT who can
and should afford what; and a determination of who is best able to manage which risks
• UP FRONT: Define Material Adverse Government Actions; determine what constitutes systemic risk and how to manage it; penalties

SOLUTION FRAMEWORKSOLUTION FRAMEWORK No single stakeholder has what it takes to create sustainable
infrastructure – partnerships between providers and users are needed; regulation should incentivize partnerships.
In the long run, sustainable infrastructure delivery means resources must come from taxpayers or consumers, i.e. users are the key. Targeting intragenerational equity should be deliberate. Ultimately, failure becomes a taxpayers’ cost – systemic non-payment by some impacts on all.
In the short term, infrastructure investment by its nature, happens in “large chunks”, and, both public and private investment is needed to overcome the “backlog hump” – we should be mindful of ensuring that at a minimum, intergenerational equity is attained in levels of service and cost of service.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
Everyday decisions by municipalities, should answer these questions:
What are the long-term impacts of the decision? Is the decision sustainable at a local level? Have the economic, social and environmental
impacts been taken into account in the decision?
