Full textLocal government is a key point of service delivery and is the sphere where most people interface with government. A good relationship with communities at local government level is therefore critical. Ward committees were designed to improve the relationship between citizens and municipalities and to give effect to the constitutional obligations of municipalities, to provide democratic government and to involve citizens in the affairs of local government. The establishment of ward committees has been met with great enthusiasm by local communities, as a platform to engage with municipalities. National government and provincial governments were key drivers in this project , with support to municipalities in the establishment of ward committee. This endeavour was intended to facilitate better relationships and cooperation between council and its communities. This objective of this research study was to explore whether participatory democracy can be enhanced through a participatory monitoring and evaluation approach within the current ward committee system. The main research question was whether ward committees could be utilised as effective instruments for participatory monitoring and evaluation of municipal service? The sub-questions were: what is the theoretical and legal framework for ward committees; what was the status of ward committee in Knysna Municipality; what were the challenges of the ward committee system; is there a role for ward committees in participatory monitoring and evaluation; and were there recommendations for the involvement of ward committees in participatory, monitoring and evaluation and improvement of the efficacy of ward committees? The study arose out of continuous service delivery protests by communities because of the dissatisfaction with the state of municipal services. Secondly, various research studies have found that, despite national, provincial and local government support programmes for ward committees, the majority remain ineffective and inefficient, and the social distance between communities and municipalities is growing. The lack of communication and the non-responsiveness of municipalities were found to be some of the main causes for the ineffectiveness of ward committees. Key theorists suggest that some of these protests would not occur if effective monitoring and evaluation are institutionalised and communities are involved in monitoring and evaluation. A participatory approach for monitoring and evaluation was therefore examined within the local government legislative framework of South Africa. A qualitative research method was chosen, using a case study design. The case study design was chosen because such studies do not attempt to make any generalisations in term of the results or that it will be similar in another case study. This study was focussed on exploring and understanding the issue. Primary data was collected through interviews and focus groups with ward committee members, ward councillors and municipal officials. Key findings gave emphasis to challenges of lack of communication, non-responsiveness of municipalities and contestation from other community-based organisations that had a negative impact on the credibility and authority of ward committees. The effectiveness of the municipal performance management system as a monitoring and evaluation tool was also questioned in the findings. The significance or value of the study lies in the finding that willingness for participatory monitoring and evaluation exists as does the insight into the status of municipal performance management systems. Recommendations are made for delegating monitoring and evaluation functions to ward committees. Further investigations into modalities for participatory or result-based monitoring and evaluation, as well as the impact of financial and audit driven performance management system are recommended.

Full textThe questions posed in this study address the different processes that were involved in the decision-making and establishment of the water management organisations, the extent of public participation, as well as features of evident governance in implementing the policies. A critical analysis of the role of stakeholders and the various influences they may have in water management will also be examined. The methodology follows a historical study approach. A thorough document review will be done of the policies and related materials around BMCs, where events will be constructed from the findings. Interviews will be conducted for verification purposes, to verify the desktop findings and to assimilate any conflicts of opinion that might have not been documented.

While there is evidence to suggest that participation can assist the progressive realization of the right to health, this link is not well established in the literature and Southern African studies underscore a serious deficit in the implementation of meaningful community participation. The present study used multiple methods to explore the relationship between participation and the right to health and to draw lessons on best practice for community participation from three health committees in South Africa's Western Cape Province.

This study investigates public participation at local government level in South Africa, namely, the ward committee system. It will look at the extent to which ward committees, as instruments of public participation, can be said to empower citizen involvement in local government decision-making. Therefore the research question is what do the processes of public participation reveal about public empowerment at municipal government level? To realise the objectives of this study, Fung and Wrights Empowered Participatory Governance (EPG) model is applied to five ward committees in diverse-socio-economic areas in the southern suburbs in the city of Cape Town. It should be noted that EPG is a possible model that can be used to enhance participation and facilitate empowerment at municipal government level.

The introduction of a democratic dispensation in South Africa in April 1994, drew the idea of public participation in public affairs into the spotlight. Section 152 (I) of the Constitution (Act 108 of 1996) provides for public involvement in the sphere of local government by compelling it to "provide democratic and accountable government for local communities; and encourage the involvement of communities and community organisations in the matters of local government." The intention behind the decentralisation refonns was to transfonn local councils into organs with significant responsibility for the socio-economic well-being of all communities. Municipalities are mandated to promote developmental local govel11ment which focuses on development in an integrated and sustainable manner, and address socio-economic inequalities. The objective of this thesis is to establish whether structures at local government level which are set up to enhance public participation in local decision-making, are effective and whether participation is meaningful. Particular attention will be given to prominent platforms for public participation at local government level namely: Integrated Development Planning and Ward Committees in the period post-2000 to date. Subjecting such approaches to rigorous critical analysis is as important as constantly asserting their benefits. For the purposes of this dissertation secondary sources will be used; looking at books, briefing and conference papers, academic debates and literature and past studies done on lDPs and ward committees in practice in different areas in South Africa. Literature assessing the cunent state of public participation in local government will be articulated and analysed. The challenges identified are grouped into three broad themes, namely, political, administrative/capacity, and sociological.

However, as local government is “the closest to the people” it is regarded by government as the most appropriate sphere to implement participatory democracy mechanisms. Pertaining to this, ward committees were introduced as the main participatory vehicle of local governance and in addition, the government has also implemented alternative instruments such as izimbizos and the integrated development planning (IDP) process to engage citizens in local governance.

Full textSouth Africa continues to experiment with democracy after 23 years since its rebirth in 1994. The country‘s democracy is still developing towards greater transparency, full participation and accountability. Development depends on the existence of strong and vibrant institutions of accountability in the face of the challenges that threaten to reverse the gains made since the advent of democracy. Among such institutions is the legislature, which is the focus of this study. The study probes the oversight role of legislatures in South Africa. Oversight has become a subject of interest in the field of Public Administration as it is viewed as the mandate of legislatures to hold the government to account for managing public resources in the course of conducting public affairs. This study broadens the understanding of oversight by examining crucial relations between the legislature and the executive, and by providing insight into the legislature‘s ability and capacity to carry out the oversight mandate. This is mainly because in most developing countries, the legislative sector, and particularly African legislatures have been categorised as weak. They are generally censured to have institutional weaknesses and limited decision-making role. There are, however, common challenges, including but not limited to lack of capacity, the dominance of the executive and its reluctance to cooperate, and lack of political will attributed to various factors. These challenges are intensified by the legislature‘s perceived inability to deal with emerging issues. Studies previously conducted in the Gauteng Legislature have affirmed some of these challenges, including among others, lack of independence and capacity issues when exercising its oversight role. However, the literature pointed to increased oversight activities in democratic legislatures over the years. Although increase in oversight activities is acknowledged in the study, literature on oversight effectiveness is scant. From the foregoing, the aim of the study was to examine whether the oversight role of legislatures has effects in terms of the promotion of good governance, particularly executive transparency and accountability as well as public involvement. In addition to focusing on the relationship between the executive and the legislature, ability and capacity of the legislature, the study also set out to determine the extent to which the public participates in oversight processes of legislatures. The study concentrated on the Gauteng Legislature, and focused on the work of Portfolio Committees as they are responsible for the day to day oversight work of legislatures. The literature reviewed points out to the complex nature of the legislative oversight setting based on the systems of governance adopted in a country, which has an influence on the relationship between the executive and the legislature, and in turn, on oversight. The study has employed a qualitative approach, with the data collected utilising semistructured in-depth personal interviews, participant observation and document analysis. Semi-structured personal interviews were the main data collection tool utilised to collect primary data from the participants. The participants were selected utilising non-probability (purposive) sampling to target participants with knowledge and experience on the subject matter to attain the objectives of the study. In addition, the participant observation and document analysis were used to collect both primary and secondary data to supplement the interviews with the respondents. This was mainly to respond to the contention of this study. The study argues that the legislature through its oversight role has the ability and capacity to promote transparency and accountability as well as public involvement. The findings of this study suggest that to a certain extent, the oversight role might have positive effects on promoting executive transparency and accountability. However, the findings have pointed out some serious shortcomings regarding the extent to which the public participates in the oversight work of the legislature. This is regardless of the efforts made by the legislature to establish platforms to ensure that the public participates in the oversight role to hold the executive accountable. Furthermore, the study has found that Portfolio Committees are a suitable mechanism to hold the executive to account as among others, the Members of the Provincial Legislature (MPLs) work well together. There are improved relations between the Gauteng government departments and committees. The departments are responsive; yet there are still challenges leading to the elusion of accountability, with limited or no consequences. The study recommends inter alia, follow-up on oversight activities; committee action against the executive‘s reluctance; strengthening the role of research; and regular interactions between the executive and the legislature.

Full textThis research aims to analyze the experience of river basin committees in the production of public policies for water resources in Sergipe. This analysis was performed from the perspective of social participation and integration as structural axes of the National and State Policy of Water Resources, established in Brazil and Sergipe in 1997. This assumes identify and discuss the limits and possibilities of this form of state action as promoter of public policies and civil society, through the watershed committees, as his legal representative. Our hypothesis is that the participation of society in an organized and active public sphere is one of the factors that determine the formation of an integrated State with its organs and other spheres of civil society, acting together in institutionalized processes following the example of watershed committees. This social participation acts in the context of public debate and deliberative democracy in perspective built by Habermas and collective association, by Bruno Latour. In reading methodology and text analysis, we mainly guided by the concepts of Habermas, Hanna Arendt, Bruno Latour, Max Weber, Luhmann, Giddens and Beck, Hans Jonas and Larrère and others who assisted in the foundation of this thesis. In empirical research, the data were collected by document analysis and means of personal interviews with the technicians and managers of Resources Water Polycy in Sergipe and with the members the river basin committees of state domain watershed instituted in the state (Rio Sergipe established in 2002, Rio Piaui established in 2005, Rio Japaratuba introduced in 2007). It was found that the committees have very limited influence on achievement of the shares in favor of the sustainability of water resources, although its institutionalization is perceived by its members as positive, because even limited, the committees represent a breakthrough in politics, it offers discussion and knowledge on the key issues of the basins. The solutions permeate ways that signal for joint action involving both the State and society. Such solutions should consider, above all, recognition of the committees as an area of excellence for discussion of water resources policy and an appropriate management of activities involved, whether related to the own functioning and dynamism of the committees, or related to the performance of agencies of the public power in their appropriate competencies.
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a experiência dos comitês de bacia hidrográfica na produção de políticas públicas de Recursos Hídricos em Sergipe. Tal análise foi realizada sob a perspectiva da participação social e integração, enquanto eixos estruturadores da Política Nacional e Estadual de Recursos Hídricos, instituída no Brasil e em Sergipe em 1997. Isso pressupõe identificar e discutir os limites e possibilidades dessa forma de atuação do Estado, enquanto promotor de políticas públicas, e da sociedade civil, por meio dos comitês de bacias hidrográficas, enquanto seu representante legal. Partimos da hipótese de que esta participação da sociedade, numa esfera pública organizada e atuante, é um dos fatores que podem condicionar a formação de um Estado integrado com seus órgãos e com outras esferas da sociedade civil, atuando conjuntamente em processos institucionalizados a exemplo dos comitês de bacias hidrográficas. Essa participação social atua num contexto de debate público e de democracia deliberativa na perspectiva construída por Habermas e de associação de coletivos, de Bruno Latour. Na metodologia de leitura e análise de texto, nos guiamos principalmente pelos conceitos de Habermas, Hanna Arendt, Bruno Latour, Max Weber, Luhmann, Giddens e Beck, Hans Jonas e Larrère, entre outros que auxiliaram no fundamento desta tese. Na investigação empírica, os dados foram obtidos através de análise documental e por meio de entrevistas pessoais com os técnicos e gestores da Política de Recursos Hídricos de Sergipe e com os membros dos comitês de bacias hidrográficas de domínio estadual instituídos no Estado (Rio Sergipe instituído em 2002, Rio Piauí instituído em 2005, Rio Japaratuba instituído em 2007). Constatou-se que os comitês têm uma influência muito limitada na concretização das ações em favor da sustentabilidade dos recursos hídricos, embora sua institucionalização seja percebida pelos seus membros como positiva, pois mesmo limitados, os comitês representam um avanço na política, uma vez que proporciona a discussão e o conhecimento sobre os principais problemas das bacias. As soluções enveredam por caminhos que sinalizam para ações conjuntas que envolvem tanto o Estado quanto à sociedade. Tais soluções devem considerar, sobretudo, o reconhecimento dos comitês enquanto espaço por excelência do debate da política de recursos hídricos e uma adequada gestão das atividades envolvidas, seja referente ao próprio funcionamento e dinamismo dos comitês, seja referente à atuação dos órgãos do poder público, nas suas devidas competências.

Full textThis purpose of this study was to investigate public participation challenges facing ward committees in the Senqu Local Municipality. This is a rural municipality under the Joe Gqabi District Municipality in the Eastern Cape. Constitutionally local government is legally bound to promote public participation through various mechanisms such as ward committees. To obtain the research objectives, the research applies a qualitative research methodology, using Arnstein’s Ladder of Participation Theory as a basis for public participation in the selected municipality. A literature review was conducted on public participation, local democracy and ward committees functioning. A purposive non-probability sampling was used as it allowed a sample from which participants are selected on the basis of their knowledge on the subject. Primary data collection comprised of semi structured interviews with three municipal officials and focus group discussions with two selected ward committees in the Senqu Local Municipality. The study presents findings from the data analysis and depict that despite the imperative role played by the ward committees, there are still challenges that face ward committees on public participation. The study closes with conclusions, recommendations for the municipality and recommendations for further research
