ence to water supply, sanitation services,
electricity and the upgrading
of informal human settlements has
been set for 2014. The emphasis is on
an integrated approach when delivering
these services as they are not
mutually exclusive, for instance,
reaching the sanitation target is dependent
on making rapid progress
with the proclamation and upgrading
of informal settlements. Therefore,
the upgrading of the informal settlements
will be done through the
housing delivery programme, whilst
the relevant sector departments and
Water Services Authorities will ensure
that the necessary services like
water, sanitation and electricity is
integrated in the delivery process and
achieved by 2014.
