CHALLENGES • To meet some of the programme requirements of the Capital
Grant (CG) of NDPG was a challenge, like Business Plan (BP) approval (with economic focus), Project Plan (PP) and Milestone Payment Schedule (MPS).
Appoint the specialist service providers like Economists. • Poor performance by emerging service providers.
Mix experienced with emerging.• Under estimation.
Appoint project consultants to do detailed cost estimates; Budget adjustment.
• Project identification and community involvement.Co-ordinate all stakeholders, like civics and traditional leaders, through Ward Councillors.
• Lots of hiccups in the initial years, because of no planning / not clear on what’s required. Plan ahead

OUR STRENGTH/ FORWARD PLANNING
• Conduct EIA a year before – have a budget. • Feasibility study and Designs approval prior
implementation financial year – have a budget.
• Monthly meetings of the PMU as preparation for monthly meetings with consultants.
• On-going capacity building. • Use of different consultants.• Planned appointments of students for in-
service training in the projects.• Full support by management.
