project team, DST to share the findings of the study

Strategic Context for STI4SHS Roadmap

• NDP: Eradicate decaying basic services infrastructure and homogenous

and sterile living spaces;

• NDP: Integrate innovation to improve access and the quality of delivery of

basic services; In responding to the NDP, the Water and Sanitation ten year plan requires that innovative and inclusive service delivery models driven by research and technology especially with regards to alternative solutions to ensure universal coverage should be considered.

• B2B: Increase skills and capacity at municipalities to increase performance;
• The planning, implementation and maintenance of basic infrastructure

for sustaining basic standards

• f

living and economic activity

• f

communities, towns and cities. Municipalities should develop basic standards and service delivery plans, establish performance indicators for the delivery of basic service such as water, sanitation, electricity, waste management, transport etc.

• B2B Key Performance Areas include; Basic Service Delivery, Good

Governance, Public Participation, Financial Management & Capacity Dev.

Strategic Context for the STI4SHS Roadmap Cnt’d

• STI White Paper 1996: Create an enabling policy environment for

adoption

• f appropriate and validated innovative technology

solutions to improve service delivery and the quality of life;

• Govt. MTSF Outcomes: Outcome 9, responsive, effective and

efficient local government system, Sub-outcome 1: Members of society

have sustainable and reliable access to basic services; Sub-outcome 2: Intergovernmental and democratic governance arrangements for a functional system of cooperative and participatory democracy strengthened; Sub-outcome 3: Sound Financial and Administrative Management; Sub-

• utcome 4: Promotion of social and economic development.
• 9 Point Plan ; State reform and boosting the role of state owned

companies, information and communication technology infrastructure or broadband roll-out, water, sanitation and transport infrastructure.

Strategic Context for STI4SHS Roadmap Cnt’d

• Sustainable Development Goal 11: Making cities inclusive, safe,

resilient and sustainable. In 2030, cities should offer opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy , transportation through carbon neutral approaches. Goal 6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all.

• New Urban Agenda: Innovation, Data and technology, use of

internet, new modes of mobility, renewable energy

• General Household Survey (GHS) the progress achieved between

2002 and 2015 includes a 77.1% to 85.5% increase in number of households with access to electricity;

Problem Analysis – Global Challenges

• Global water demand to increase by 40%

in the next 2 decades (McKinsey. com)

• Demand for water in SA to reach 17.7 billion cubic metres in 2030

against the current supply

• f

15 billion cubic metres (Wateringearth.org)

• Today over 200 million people do not have access to safe drinking

water and 2.5 billion cannot access sanitation (Wateringearth.org)

• NDoHS MTSF targets 1million housing opportunities
• PICC Cabinet resolution to use Innovative Building Technologies for

schools, public facilities, clinics and targeting 60% in these sectors

The Anthropocene

Planetary Boundaries

• “Transgressing a boundary

increases the risk that human activities could inadvertently drive the Earth System into a much less hospitable state, damaging efforts to reduce poverty and leading to a deterioration of human wellbeing in many parts of the world, including wealthy countries” (Steffen et al: 2015)

EcoSUN Sustainable Village

Around the Community Centre a vibrant place for the locals is established, including a Market place. Existing communal facilities such as a children’s playing ground become part of the Centre. The CC could be supplemented by another public building for example a library or fitness centre etc. A centre for Ekuphumleni could be created. The EcoSUN Green Village demonstration site is easily approached by visitors due to its position close to the main road.

• The new EcoSUN technology in the

CC could be demonstrated not only to the residents but also to visitors passing in cars or trucks.

• An Internet Cafe or a gym established

in the Community Centre will attract guests and offer chances for income generation and re-financing of maintenance costs.

• Jobs could be created

Science, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Human Settlements Roadmap (STI4SHS Roadmap) Integrating technology and innovation in human settlements ! It is no longer a question of why ? It is a question of how ?

Technology and Innovation Roadmap for Sustainable Human Settlements

• How do we drive and increase the adoption of

alternative and innovative technologies (water, energy, sanitation, ICT, waste, IBT) in the human settlements sector in this next 10 years?

• STI adoption is low;
• SMME opportunities;
• Address sustainability and climate change adaptation and mitigation;
• Limited funding and strong competition by technology developers to

access the sector;

• Coordinated and structured approach to deploy technologies in the

human settlements sector?

29

Technology and Innovation Roadmap for Sustainable Human Settlements

• We realised the need for a strategic framework to set priorities, identify

initiatives, and define an investment plan to implement innovations in the sector: Science, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Human Settlements Roadmap !!

• The Roadmap will serve as a high-level framework for

human settlement stakeholders and industry partners to plan, reflect, invest, make decisions and prioritise STI programmes, projects, strategies and initiatives for the sector.

30

Technology and Innovation Roadmap for Sustainable Human Settlements

• Develop

a Roadmap through consultation with role- players and key stakeholders, formally establish strategic alliances and to pave the way for its subsequent implementation.

• the Roadmap is to describe a ten-year innovation

programme for the sector to pursue a Vision – yet to be formally articulated - which is understood to be roughly as follows:

“To become global leaders in mainstreaming appropriate South African technological innovations to secure smart, green households and neighbourhoods of the future”

31

Roadmap Outcomes

• Products - Establish profile and a portfolio of Innovations for

the human settlements sector;

• Investment - Stimulate investment and partnerships to

execute the Roadmap implementation plan;

• Market – Increase uptake of locally developed technologies

for the sector;

• Innovation Agenda: Define innovation priorities and

innovation projects that can be implemented in the short / medium term (designated technologies);

• Transform – Settlements to be smart and innovative;
• Establish strategic alliances with partners in

government and private sector to promote uptake of STI in Sustainable Human Settlements (SHS).
