Resources after Pragma 16th August   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #129 of 150 |

Congratulations to Pragma for sponsoring for a superb event on the 16th and thank you for the privilege of being a part of it.  I note that you had 52 RSVP’s and yet 48 attendees and very few early departures.  Barrie Kroukamp and Rob Childs did an exceptional job, but noting others all others too who want this to go forward.  I trust we can look forward to a few more getting alongside Hennie and other key attendees, some also copied here, for a key initiative to at least emerge for the Western Cape.

 

Regarding the resources I promised, let me offer three, for Pragma’s onward distribution to all attending hoping I might find a few IAM champions among or with them (feel free to edit or extract but please acknowledge myself as the source);

The common link to the first two here is either of these two paths – which-ever works best for yourselves and then the subsequent links refer from these as well.  (note the primary internet Shared Document Folder holds a lot more for those who want to fish around there – all public domain…)

Or

TIPS - Please note this is ‘ancient’ internet technology but good enough for anyone with a sound internet link ‘to fish into’ – watch out for file sizes and depending on the soundness (& speed) of your internet link – be prepared to be patient.

 

1) A simplified first SA translation of Australasian Practice (much simpler than IMESA’s IIMM but simpler starting points);

“Managing Community Assets” – 50 page handbook – 3 parts - 13 pages text, 7 Steps and then ‘extra tools’ – Excellent awareness tool for Councillors

(Link as above and then)   /ASALGP_Handbooks/Managing_CA/

 

2) World Bank “Strategic Municipal Asset Management” Advisory Note – 1999 / 2000 – Rob Childs referred to it - Best published summary with particularly the NZ experiences for municipalities but notably made developmental for countries like our own;

(Link as above and then)  /Int_ref/

 

3) For those wanting to network and to stay connected to the subject of ‘Infrastructure Asset Management’ within South Africa (not just water services either), the following portion of a notice put out from the Water Institute South Africa refers;

Thanks again and I wish all ‘well with their fishing’ here-abouts…
