    An analysis of Chiradzulu District council's impact on service delivery in Malawi (1998 TO 2010).
    (University if Fort Hare, 2011-05) Nkasala, Bennet Francis
    Since Malawi became independent in 1964, the local government has undergone several transformations. These transformations have all been aimed at making local governments more responsive to the needs and expectations of the citizens they serve. The transformations took centre stage in 1998, when District Councils were established through the enactment of the Local Government Act no. 42 of 1998. Councils (Local Governments) are the spheres of government, situated closest to the people, and considered to be in the best position to provide effective and efficient public service delivery. The assumption is that the establishment of District Councils has apotential to positively impact on service delivery in Malawi. This study, therefore, analyses the impact of Chiradzulu District Council on public services delivery from 1998 to 2010.

    An evaluation of the impact of the implementation of legislation on service delivery in selected municipalities within the Eastern Cape Amathole District (2000-2007)
    (University of Fort Hare, 2008) Pakade, Nosizwe Pampilia
    Impact is the effect or influence that an event situation has on someone or something. If legislation is impute in local government machinery, services delivery should be the output indicative of the legislation. Evaluating service delivery as witnessed day by day and heard of from the media determines how good, useful, or successful legislation is. Evaluation therefore does not involve looking into compliance only, but performance as having been impacted by the former.

    (University if Fort Hare, 2012-10) Muswaka, Phyllis
    Participatory budgeting currently occupies centre stage in Public and Municipal financial management Acts. The principle of participatory budgeting ushers in a broader public forum in which crucial principles in Public financial management such as accountabilitym and transparency are observed, thereby automatically ensuring effective governance. The efficacy of participatory budgeting is to improve service delivery through opening up structures that will combat the spread of mal-admi_nistrative practices such as corruption and financial fraud whilst enhancing democratic participation and upholding the rule of law by fostering transparency and accountability and making the governments more responsive to the needs of the people.

    (University of Fort Hare, 2008-02) Maclean, Sindisile
    The culture of non-payment of municipal services is not a new phenomenon in South Africa. Prior 1994, payment boycotts were one of the key instruments of resistance against the Apartheid regime, as orchestrated by the liberation architects. Today, though circumstances are different, the culture has incarnated itself as new form, propelled by such pressures as social and economic woes. In addition, community unrest and protests regarding the adequacy and standards of service delivery has contributed significantly towards the culture of non-payment..

    The impact of underspending and overspending on service delivery: A case of the Eastern Cape Department of Education in the 2008/2009 financial year.
    (University if Fort Hare, 2011-01) Safa, Mbulelo
    The Eastern Cape Department of Basic Education consumes a huge chunk of the Eastern Cape Provincial Budget and consequently any misspending has an impact on the Provincial Budget. The Eastern Cape Province is one of the rural provinces and has huge service delivery backlogs. _The Auditor-General has over the years given opinions, which indicated that there are no proper controls in the finance management of the Department of Education in the Eastern Cape. This study presents a case study of the Eastern Cape Department of Education in the financial year 2008/2009, to highlight the impact of both under- and over-expenditure in service delivery in the public sector. At the end of the study, scientific solutions are recommended, which the researcher believes can serve as a blue print to assist, not only the department under study, but also the public sector as a whole.
