Introduction
The vision of the MIG programme is to "provide all South
Africans with at least a basic level of service by the year
2013 through the provision of grant finance aimed at
covering the capital cost of basic infrastructure for the
poor".
The main contributions of the MIS in assisting DPLG to
realise this vision include:
• Serving as an overall control mechanism in terms of the
allocation and disbursement of MIG funding to
municipalities, monitoring the actual expenditure by
municipalities and recording the assets resulting from the
spending of MIG funds.
• To put municipalities in control of the planning and
implementation of infrastructure development in their
areas of jurisdiction by providing the practical means
through which MIG funding can be tied to the approved
Integrated Development Plan of a municipality (through
integration with the IDP Nerve Centre).
• Serving a dual purpose of providing municipalities with a
tool for controlling their own programmes while at the
same time providing consolidated reporting of financial,
progress and performance indicators on a provincial and
national scale.
