5.7.3 Provincial capacity

5.7.3(1)
The two biggest challenges for provincial environmental authorities are the licensing of waste management activities that are not the responsibility of the National Department and its involvement in integrated waste management planning.

5.7.3(2)
Provinces have a number of concomitant and discretionary powers and thus the provincial challenges will be largely influenced by which of these they choose to exercise. This will be done in conjunction with the national department and appropriate capacity initiatives will be developed through the intergovernmental coordination structures described in Section 5.8.
