SARRAH’s main focus is to support the National Department of Health (NDOH) in efforts to strengthen and coordinate the national response to HIV and AIDS and make it more accountable to the South African public, and strengthen the health systems overall and their ability to provide quality healthcare to all. It is designed to support the achievement of the targets set out in the government’s Negotiated Service Delivery Agreement (NSDA) for health. SARRAH is based on partnerships with leading national players in HIV and health. Key partners include NDOH and the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC). The programme also supports civil society through the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) and the work of the Joint Committee on HIV and the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Health. SARRAH commenced in January 2010 and is expected to finish delivering its activities in December 2014. This mid-term evaluation covers the period from January 2010 to December 2012. The total value of SARRAH when it commenced in 2010 was £13,500,000. SARRAH was allocated a further £6,852,217 in December 2011, bringing the total programme value at the end of December 2012 to £20,352,217. Evaluation approach and methods The detailed approach and methodology for the evaluation of SARRAH are presented in Section 1.4 and 1.5. SARRAH is structured around a series of initiatives or “work-streams” that are different in scope, scale, timing and objectives. The SARRAH Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) recognised this diversity and considered the work-streams individually in the first instance, before making an attempt to aggregate and synthesise findings at the programme level. Evidence was collected for each work- stream by different evaluation leads and using different tools and techniques drawing on in a wide array of sources of data. To enable the evaluation team to conduct this assessment rigorously, the following approach was adopted: 1. Individual evaluations of work-streams, or groups of work-streams were conducted using appropriate methodologies, and exploiting potential synergies and complementarities between initiatives; 2. A quality assurance of the evidence collected was undertaken centrally by Coffey to ensure that evidence was of a sufficient standard to assess the overall performance of SARRAH; and 3. A synthesis of the various individual work-stream reports, complemented by a qualitative analysis of circa one hundred interview notes using Atlas.ti, was conducted in order to inform conclusions and answer the key evaluation questions. The evaluation team used the OECD-DAC criteria1 of Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Impact and Sustainability as the core evaluation framework of the MTE. The inception phase shed light on the nature of the SARRAH programme and made it clear to the evaluation team that the realisation of tangible and sustainable impacts on the South African health system would only be measurable towards the end of the programme in 2014-2015. Therefore the Impact criterion was not assessed to the same extent as the other DAC criteria, but will be the core focus of the final evaluation of SARRAH. 1 OECD (1991), DAC Principles for the Evaluation of Assistance Coffey International Development December 2013 7 Moreover, a numerical scoring tool was developed by the evaluation team as an analytical tool to support the findings emerging from the qualitative research and to enable comparison between different work-streams against the key performance criteria.

  • Social Segregation
    SOCIAL SEGREGATION SOCIAL SEGREGATION Policy In February 1989 a spokesman for the minister of law and order announced that police had been ordered not to arrest people who contravened the Reservation of Separate Amenities Act of 1953. He said that police headquarters had issued a directive to all divisional commissioners, stipulating that police were not to arrest those contravening the act but to investigate any alleged offence and refer it to the local senior state prosecutor. He added, 'Because the arrest of someone is not regarded lightly by the South African Police, tangible proof must exist that the suspect has in fact committed the offence." In May 1989 the minister of constitutional development and planning, Mr Chris R ' is, said t.hat . e goe'mment was commi.ed ito '%x1A aad equal amenities for all communities on a non-discriminatory basis. Where amenities cannot be duplicated, they must be shared in an orderly fashion. This implies that all communities should be able to make use of such amenities in a civilised and well- ordered way'. Mr Heunis said that he had received a number of requests from industrialists and businessmen for the repeal of the act, as a result of 'difficulties' in towns where Conservative Party-controlled local authorities had reintroduced segregation (see 1988/89 Survey p28). He believed, however, that the repeal of the Reservation of Separate Amenities Act was unacceptable. He reiterated that the government would not 'at this stage' proceed with legislation to prevent the CP from reintroducing petty apartheid.2 In an address to the federal congress of the National Party (NP) in Pretoria in June 1989 the minister of home affairs and of communications, Mr Stoffel Botha, reiterated the government's policy regarding public amenities, which remained identical to the policy outlined in February 1988 (see 1988/89 Survey p26), ie some public amenities would be shared by all races, but 'certain population groups had a need for their own amenities'.

South Africa’s state-owned electricity supply commission, Eskom, is the fifth largest utility in the western world in terms of installed capacity. It operates more than two dozen power stations in South Africa—although the vast majority of South Africans have no electricity in their homes. Last year Eskom announced its commitment to ‘electricity for all’. This means bringing electricity to about 20m people, half in urban and half in rural areas, who do not have it. The process has already begun.
