8 BACKGROUND The SRI Programme started in 1999 as a Poverty Relief Programme under the former Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. In 2004, with the inception of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP), the focus was amended to include job creation with job creation targets allocated to departments. In 2010 the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism was split into stand alone Departments. The SRI Programme was also split between the two departments. The environment related SRI projects including projects in the protected areas were ceded to the Department of Environmental Affairs. The tourism related SRI projects were ceded to the Department of Tourism. 7
9 BACKGROUND continued Cessation gave the Department full responsibility for the projects. Different status of inherited projects: Some were completed and handed over to the owning entities and were no longer under the control of the Department. Others were under planning and implementation. The Department had to ensure that they were completed and handed over. Others were incomplete, vandalised, and not operational. The Department had to assess each project and determine a way forward and action plan. Thus SRI Programme was ceded to the Department of Tourism. With all the inherited the successes, liabilities and challenges. 8

22 Observations, challenges and lessons learnt Majority of the tourism facilities being funded through the SRI programme are in the rural provinces however there is a lack of enabling infrastructure in these areas, which severely limits the long term sustainability of the projects. The SRI programme ends up funding the bulk infrastructure as part of developing a tourist facility and this resulted in increased project costs. The assets created through the projects are handed over to either a municipality, provincial government department, provincial tourism authority or a beneficiary. However there is limited technical and management expertise of community based owning agencies and to some extent local municipalities to commercially run the tourism projects and ensure that they are sustainable over time. 21
23 Observations, challenges and lessons learnt SRI Programme creates community based businesses which requires substantial financial and non-financial support. A shift of focus from infrastructure construction to include business and management support. Assessment of viability and due diligence must be done before committing any funds. The planning, implementation and monitoring delivery framework for the SRI infrastructure programme was not aligned to the construction industry hence poor project management and poor workmanship. 22
24 CORRECTIVE MEASURES IMPLEMENTED The impact of corrective measures not immediately felt or seen, although there are some quick wins. Strengthened the project management and internal controls Reviewed and aligned the SRI infrastructure framework to the construction industry and EPWP Infrastructure Guidelines. Developed application and business plan guidelines and checklist. Assessment of viability is done and due diligence conducted for new projects. Projects must prove that they will be commercially/ financially viable before funding is granted. Assisting projects with operations and sustainability plans, and linking them to the management companies. 23
25 CORRECTIVE MEASURES IMPLEMENTED Joint ventures between the owning agency and the private sector are being considered where capacity to manage does not exist. The NDT has committed to working closely with the provincial departments and local municipalities in ensuring the long-term sustainability of the projects Forensic audits investigations instituted where mismanagement of funds were alleged. Visited ceded projects in A plan of action is being determined for each project. Staff training and capacity building. 24
26 FUNDING PROCESSES Funds community based tourism infrastructure projects and skills development/training projects. The Department is responsible for identifying and sourcing appropriate EPWP tourism projects in consultation with the national, provincial and local tourism stakeholders. The Department is responsible for appointing service providers to implement the projects, for the management of contracts signed with the service providers and overall project management. Project proposals must be submitted via the provincial department which is responsible for tourism. Each province has a tourism provincial structure which discusses and prioritises proposals to be submitted to NDT for funding. 25
27 TYPES OF PROJECTS FUNDED Heritage tourism projects Recreational tourism Hospitality and accommodation facilities lodges, guest house, B&Bs, resorts etc. Niche tourism projects Tourism attractions Tourism training and capacity building projects targeting the unemployed youth Tourism routes Camp and caravan sites Picnic sites Hiking trails Visitor/Tourism Information Centres and interpretation Centres Nature based tourism 26
28 FUNDING CRITERIA Biased towards rural areas and poverty nodes with tourism potential. Projects that meet the EPWP and NDT requirements. Projects which targets rural areas. Projects must unlock the tourism and economic potential of an area. Project must improve the competitiveness of South African tourism industry. Projects must be supported by the relevant provincial tourism department and must be included in the IDP of the local municipality. The assets created must benefit the wider communities. The project must be financially viable and sustainable in the long term 27
29 Detailed Business Plan FUNDING REQUIREMENTS Feasibility study report covering market analysis, competitor analysis and competitive advantage, pricing, marketing, location Land ownership and availability Letter of support from the municipality and province, and inclusion of the project in the IDP Project Designs /drawings / building plans where feasible Detailed costing of a project and financial projections Owning agency: composition, governance, capacity, experience, skills, owning entity registration documents Management and operations arrangements Access to the project site Enabling infrastructure road, water, electricity, sanitation etc. 28
