Scorecard Municipal Infrastructure Grant Unit (MIG)

The Municipal Infrastructure Grant is a conditional grant from the Department of Local Government and Housing (DPLG&H) to the local government. It is designed to supplement municipal capital budgets for the provision of basic infrastructure to the poor.

In the past ten years, the municipality has experienced a steady increase in population growth resulting in an escalated demand for basic services, such as water delivery and sewerage purification. The Langeberg Municipality has a business unit called Programme Management Unit (PMU) and its responsibility is to identify infrastructure projects that qualify for inclusion to the location. Moreover, the PMU registers the projects, coordinates the programme, and integrates them into municipality priorities, while monitoring and reporting on their progress.

During 2009/10, the MIG budget of R21 818 000.00 was allocated and 17 966 523.18 was spent on various MIG and infrastructure projects.

All the projects undertaken by the municipality were high priority projects, labour intensive and facilitated local economic development through job creation.

EXPANDED PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMME (EPWP)

The EPWP is one of Langeberg Municipality’s initiatives to bridge the gap between the growing Winelands economy and the large number of unskilled and unemployed people who have yet to fully enjoy the benefits of economic development in the area.

In the municipality, the programme set a target of providing employment opportunities and training through the labour-intensive Municipal Infrastructure Grant and Municipality funded infrastructure projects.
