The Commission indicated that its past research indicate that the majority of metropolitan municipalities do have capacity for level 2 accreditation although it was not certain of the readiness for the assignment of the full housing function (level 3). The Commission stated that performance of the USDG should improve once challenges in procurement and project management are addressed and monitoring of projects is strengthened. The Committee notes the assurance provided by metropolitan municipalities on their readiness to implement the USDG.
