Asivikelane service delivery impacts counter
Since March 2020
Procurement
We created a new procurement transparency assessment tool to evaluate how proactively municipalities share service-related procurement information.
We created a procurement training guide for informal settlement residents to learn about ways to hold their municipalities accountable for service delivery.
We asked 260 informal settlement residents in the City of Ekurhuleni about their experiences of the procurement of chemical toilets, and to give recommendations to the metro on how to improve this service.
This research paper argues that gender-responsive procurement should be inclusive of the voices and needs of women. This will have far-reaching benefits by ensuring safer and healthier access to basic services for women, children and other vulnerable groups living in informal settlements in South Africa.
Asivikelane Western Cape #12 Residents want to be included in decision-making about services. They ask Knysna and Stellenbosch municipalities for regular community meetings to solve service delivery challenges.
Following on from the 2021 report, “How transparent is municipal procurement?”, this report finds 3 main reasons why municipalities are not publishing procurement information on their websites and eTender portals as required. The report also gives recommendations on how to overcome these challenges to enhance transparency.
This is a helpful guide on how to make communal services safer, more hygienic, and female-friendly.
This guide outlines how municipalities can be more inclusive and specifically prioritise the needs of women when procuring basic services for informal settlements.
Asivikelane Western Cape #7 shows that when municipalities engage residents it can yield progress in service delivery.
Asivikelane Western Cape #4 shows that consistent engagement between government and communities is starting to yield progress.
