Broken Repair and Maintenance of Taps and Toilets in Informal Settlements
According to data collected by #Asivikelane residents featured in this video, there are insufficient taps and toilets to serve all residents in informal settlements. Regular repair and maintenance of taps and toilets is a vital role that local and national government can play to ensure consistent service delivery in informal settlements.
Urban Heat Monitoring Campaign – Gauteng
In this project to build civic awareness for mitigating heatwave impacts in South Africa, Planact collaborated with volunteers from various partner communities to measure outdoor heat stress and create urban heat datasets. These datasets will support the climate adaptation strategies of the City of Ekurhuleni and the City of Johannesburg.
Digital Addressing in Skoonplaas – A Pilot Project 2022
The push for tenure security underpins Planact’s latest project, which supports residents in having their streets digitally addressed, a step towards formalising informal settlements. Digital addresses are arguably one of the most cost-effective ways to lift people out of poverty, enabling access to basic services, voting rights, and official recognition.
