Provincial Flagship Programme(War on Poverty)
KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Council on AIDS
25 August 2010

The Provincial Flagship Programme
The Provincial Flagship Programme requires a well coordinated and integrated system of operation to deliver government services and aggressive behavioural change campaign to curb the social ills that communities face.
33
(Cont) The Provincial Flagship Programme
The Programme consists of three sub-programmes: Food Security Fighting TB, HIV & AIDS, and Poverty Empowerment of Women and Youth,
addressing social ills and driving an aggressive behavioural
change campaign All 783 wards in the Province are included in the rollout
plan and ranked according to three tiers: Most Deprived Medium Deprived Least DeprivedEach tier of the KZN Flagship Programme was to receive a
different package of services. 68840 HH visited in the Districts that submitted Annual
reports

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Programme
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSESPROGRAMME TO OFFSET
WEAKNESSES
Bottom-up approach to household needs identification (profiling), interventions and behavioural change campaign
The reports generated by District Task Teams show that not all Districts are focusing on household needs assessment, interventions and behaviour change campaign
An appropriate template has been constructed for District Task Teams to use when compiling their reports to emphasize all areas of the Programme and to quantify Interventions, this will improve as the process is streamlined
55
Programme support at Provincial Cabinet and Administrative Senior Level.Incremental progress of the support.
Challenges documented in District reports show that the Programme does not yet enjoy the full support of all Senior Government officials and the challenge in some Municipalities is reported by districts. In some wards the programme is not supported by either the Political leadership or the officials in those wards or municipalities. The improvement is noted
The Public Service volunteer week exposed the majority of Provincial Senior Managers to the programme. Districts have since noted an improvement in those wards which Senior Managers visited.The programme was presented at the Technical PCF, and the PCF. COGTA and IGR Office in OTP are to continue to advocate for the programme in municipalities. Performance Contracts of government officials to include Flagship Programme KPIs.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSESRECOMMENDATIONS
TO OFFSET WEAKNESSES
Flagship Programme is designed to integrate civil society, local/district municipality, and government departments
The institutional structures and planning processes to be designed to support the Flagship Programme at Department, District, Local and Ward Levels.
The strategic planning processes to accommodate the spatial planning with the needs and priorities of communities as integral part of planning. This will improve the participation of departments in the IDP to institutionalise the programme
77
STRENGTHSWEAKNESSES RECOMMENDATIONS TO
OFFSET WEAKNESSES
The programme is empowering - needs are identified by volunteers whose role is that of change agents. The dedicated volunteers are known within the communities
Volunteers display waning enthusiasm due to burnout, lack of remuneration, and lack of protective clothing when faced with harsh weather conditions
The standardisation of volunteer programme by government in the wards
The Provincial Flagship Programme facilitates learning at all levels of implementation -
Limited access to information systems with challenges on the feedback mechanism to the wards (community and officials) and difficulty in reporting from war rooms
war rooms to be equipped with necessary basic infrastructure and equipment to allow the functioning of the people in the wards. Improved communicationInformation system being developed in OTP
88
WEAKNESSES PROGRAMME TO OFFSET WEAKNESSES
A number of districts did still have areas (wards) where the programme is none functional.
The wards with functional structures and programmes show better response to needs interventions and better working relationships between government, civil society and councillors and traditional leadership
The audit of the wards with officials implementing the programme was conducted during the Public Service Volunteer Week and some District reports submitted indicate the status of the wards but more work still needs to be done to ensure that all wards are included in the programme
99
WEAKNESSES PROGRAMME TO OFFSET WEAKNESSES
The cost of co-ordination (time and resources) beyond the sector departments interventions required knowledge and understanding of how the Programme.
A governance structure for all the levels of operation with clear terms of reference together with roles and responsibilities. The roles and responsibilities should tie with performance contracts.Develop training programme not only for cadres but also for middle and senior management in local/district task teams. Hold Senior Managers accountable for the performance of their teams at district and community levels
Lack of systems to hold people and structures that do not comply with the Programme requirements accountable.
1010
Information Management System
How well does the monitoring and evaluation system provide strategic information?
The programme requires an integrated M&E system to collate, aggregate, analyse and report on the provincial response. This allows the province to have information that informs the strategic direction based on needs that will improve the IDP process.
The KZN OTP Nerve Centre is developing a system that will track the progress. The details will be presented later.
