Sustainable Settlements
Facility (SSF)
• The SSF is envisaged as a large scale public programme which
will establish all future subsidised and gap housing in South
Africa as low carbon, removing significant future demand from
the coal dominated South African grid.
• By accessing international climate change finance, together
with potential matching domestic energy subsidy finance
through a dedicated Facility operating outside the DHS
structures, the SSF will enable this policy to be enforced. The
co-benefits including poverty alleviation and reduction in
electricity demand are substantial.

The Sustainable Settlements
Facility (SSF) NAMA
• The SSF emerged as a concept from the lessons of the Kuyasa
CDM demonstration project addressing methodological design
issues in terms of carbon credits
• The SSF has the support of National Government as a NAMA
and is identified in the National Climate Change Response
Strategy as a flagship project
• The SSF is envisaged as a critical element of a wider climate
finance strategy

Context: Housing Landscape
• South Africa’s current housing plan (BNG, 2004) is taking up
the thrust of UN’s MDG target 11
• Eliminate all shack housing in the country
• Replacement of all shacks by 2014
• Current housing delivery focuses on quantity
• Opportunity to improve the quality of the houses especially
on the aspect of energy efficiency
• Addendum XA10400 to the National Building Regulations
• Solar water heater
• Insulated ceiling
• Energy efficient low cost housing is an integral part of
sustainable development
• Numerous housing solutions are possible within this spectrum

Background: Kuyasa CDM
demonstration project
• Kuyasa CDM (http://www.kuyasacdm.co.za/)
• 2309 low-income houses in Khayelitsha with a SWH, insulated
ceilings and energy efficient lighting
• 2.85 tones of carbon per household per annum saved
• Significant social and economic benefits
• Access to hot water
• Increase in disposable income
• Local job creation
7
Summary: SSF as a NAMA
• Existing demonstration projects:
• Kuyasa CDM Pilot Project (http://www.kuyasacdm.co.za/)
• Quantify emissions reductions
• 168 million tCO2 for a 28 year period
• Assess barriers to implementation
• Financial
• Technology
• Capacity
• Assess scale up potential
• Housing backlog therefore high potential
8
Financing Landscape
• Under the current subsidy framework:
• Cost approximately US$ 37 billion to clear a backlog of 2.2 million
units (approximately US$ 17,000 per unit)
• Assuming a delivery rate of 250,000 housing units per year, the
annual budgetary implication is approximately US$ 4.25 billion
• Beyond the fiscal capacity of the South African State
• Excludes any additions
• Solar water heaters
• Energy efficiency interventions
• A gap exists between the need for energy efficient low-income
housing and the capital available to pay for it.

Financing Landscape
• National Department of Human Settlements low income housing
delivery programme
• Opportunity to improve the quality of people’s lives
• Improved housing quality
• Energy access
• Reducing future carbon emissions
• Integration of South African Government initiatives:
• DTI
• Inclusion of solar water heaters and energy efficiency
• DEA
• National programme to bring sustainable resource use criteria into the design of
the settlement projects and subsidized houses across the country. With special
reference to:
• Housing densities, orientation of the buildings, roof overhangs and insulation,
installation of 1000 000 solar water heaters by 2014, and sustainable use of water
and waste resources.
• Green Economy Accord promoting the use of clean stoves
• DEA and DBSA
• Green economy summit
• Energy efficiency

The SSF as a NAMA
Current outlook for the SSF NAMA:
Initial ODA to scope and prepare
with the potential to be a

NAMA
with
a
contribution from local Green
Funds.
