Project Viability is a National initiative funded by the National Department of Provincial and Local Government (DPLG). The purpose of this programme is to support municipalities that experience financial and managerial problems. The focus is on assisting the municipalities to complete crucial transitional actions and ultimately to restore their financial viability. The Provincial Department of Local Government implements this programme in the Western Cape. Initially, the programme focussed on: - major management/administrative crises
- extreme cash flow problems.
During 2000/2001, the programme was also used to prepare municipalities for a smooth amalgamation process. Since 2001/2002 programmes aimed to target fewer municipalities but in a more substantial way. Financial allocations are used for the funding of:- improving the service delivery of the municipality
- increasing the revenue of the municipality.
