The Report focuses specifically on the projects that the 3 metros in Gauteng have committed themselves to in the 2020/2021 financial year under the Upgrading of Informal Settlements Programme (UISP). The report provides a critical assessment of the plans developed, budgets allocated and adjusted, steps taken and money spent by the City of Ekurhuleni, the City of Johannesburg and the City of Tshwane under the UISP. Through this critical assessment the report measures the commitment of these 3 metros to public participation and to ensuring greater access to water and sanitation, electricity, a safe and healthy environment and greater dignity for residents of informal settlements.
