1. The Committee strongly recommended that every development should comply with the Human Settlements principles and policies Breaking New Ground (BNG). Houses which are handed over to beneficiaries should conform to these principles. Each house should be equipped with access to water, sanitation and electricity as these are basic rights for each and every citizen. If some of these services in selected circumstances cannot be provided on a permanent basis, temporary arrangements should be put in place. Greening projects, as well as sports grounds, have to be built in places where people reside. 2. Intergovernmental and intra-governmental planning should be seriously considered to address the bulk infrastructure and provide sustainable human settlements (all amenities). 3. The national department should consider a national policy to coordinate and manage beneficiary lists that would take into account the active public, municipalities and provincial participation, e.g. housing forums. 4. Municipalities that have appointed implementing agents to act on their behalf should take charge of the development as this is a delegated responsibility. 5. Project managers have to reside closer to the projects which they were managing. 6. Project inspections by the provincial department should be conducted properly to ensure that good quality projects were completed on time.
