The effects of lump sum unconditional grants on expenditure and revenue decisions and performance of South African municipalities04 March 2014 (has links)
M.Com. (Development Economics) / The Local Government Equitable Share (LES) is a lump sum unconditional grant that is legally entitled to municipalities in South Africa. The grant aims to supplement municipal own revenues in the delivery of services. However, increases in the LES allocations to municipalities have coincided with increased service delivery protests and poor revenue management on the part of local government. Given these trends and the ultimate goal of the LES, it is important to assess the actual impact this grant is having on local government fiscal decision. This minor dissertation evaluates the impact of the LES on the expenditure and revenue decisions and performance of local government in South Africa. Specifically, the research seeks to ascertain the nature of such impacts in terms of how expenditure and revenue decisions are adjusted with this grant funding and whether such funds may be creating adverse incentives on the part of local governments to spend inefficiently and/or not maximising their effort in collecting own revenues. The analysis uses a cross sectional dataset for a sample of 129 municipalities for the 2009/10 municipal financial year, with the Stochastic Frontier Analysis as the primary methodology. The analysis finds that the LES has no statistically significant impact on municipal operating expenditure. This suggests that the funds from this grant might not have contributed to municipal service outputs in the 2009/10 financial year. Furthermore, the results found that the LES is positively correlated with expenditure inefficiencies and poor tax/revenue effort. This suggests that the LES funds create perverse incentives for local government to waste LES funds and not collect revenues from local taxes. The latter is due to municipalities substituting tax revenues with funds from the LES, hence resulting in the LES not having an impact on overall expenditure.

Vanpo sustainability: the impact of requirements for economic sustainability on visual arts non-profit organisations in JohannesburgFrench, James E 28 January 2016 (has links)
A research report submitted to the University of the Witwatersrand Faculty of
Humanities, School of Arts, in fulfilment of the requirements of a
Masters degree in Arts and Culture Management
Johannesburg 2015 / The Civil Society sector in South Africa has been experiencing a funding crisis for the
past 20 years. The arts represent a small portion of Civil Society, and the visual arts
a small part of the art. This research considers how these visual arts non-profit
organisations (VANPOs) in this economic microsphere have been challenged to
survive and sustain their missions in what is a competitive, fluctuating and complex
environment.
This study scrutinizes the concept of sustainability and the visual arts non-profit
sector’s capacity for implementation of economically sustainable projects in the
current economic and funding environment in South Africa. It outlines the complex
and challenging nature of sustainability for VANPOs. The VANPOs, all small
organisations, have limited human and cash resources to implement sustainability
strategies while fulfilling their missions. Furthermore the funding environment focuses
on short-term project grants and production-oriented efforts. This does not offer the
organisations much opportunity towards long-term organisational development nor
strategic resourcefulness. At the same time they struggle to remain compliant with
government regulations and donor requirements.
This research considers methods of assessing sustainability and the perspectives of
professionals involved in the management of VANPOs. It examines the challenges
they have faced in finding ways to implement sustainability and in the implementation
of ‘sustainable’ projects. The brief case studies focus on how five VANPOs have
responded to diminishing funding.

Biodiversity management principles: a cross-sector comparison of South African companiesKristiansen, Guro Hagen January 2017 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 14 December 2016. / The interaction between business and biodiversity has seen growing importance
in corporate management; impacting policy, practices and strategy. This study
examines South African companies’ assimilation of recommended biodiversity
management practices, as communicated through their annual reporting and
official websites. A selection of nine South African companies in the forestry, sugar
and mining sectors were studied with regards to their reporting on biodiversity
management practices. The research aimed to understand the extent of structured
approach to biodiversity management, and explore potential sectorial differences.
The study found a wide acceptance of the UN Global Compact Principles,
the GRI reporting guidelines and the King Code of good governance principles.
However, the companies did not demonstrate a consistent governance structure
for biodiversity management. The study revealed one mining company with a
stronger biodiversity governance structure making the use of various dedicated
policies and standards. Furthermore, the study identified few sector specific
differences. Though the forestry sector demonstrated good practice with its
emphasis on biodiversity in its supply chain management.
The study did not reveal a particular uptake of emerging biodiversity
concepts such as No Net Loss, payment for ecosystem services or agroforestry,
however the companies had adopted several sustainability and governance
recommendations and standards. The study did not identify the existence, nor the
use, of dedicated biodiversity certification programmes or South African developed
cross-sector biodiversity certification programmes.
The finance sector is in a good position to positively influence corporate
biodiversity management practices. However, the study results give an impression
that there is untapped potential in the finance sector to further drive the biodiversity
management agenda in South Africa.
