CONSTITUTION &WHITE PAPER
LOCAL GOVERNMENT
• The Local Government is that which
interacts closest with communities and is
responsible for services and infrastructure
that is essential to our peoples well being
& is tasked with ensuring growth and
development of communities in a manner
that enhances community participation &
accountability
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT
PLANS
• IDP budgeting and performance management are powerful tools
•
•
•
•
which assist municipalities to develop an integrated perspective on
development in their area .
This enables municipalities to focus on priorities within an
increasingly complex and diverse set of demands.
This will also enable the direction of resource allocations and
institutional systems to a new set of development objectives.
This plan must essentially translate the municipalities vision into
action. It must optimise the alignment between the vision, strategy
and actual delivery.
The municipality adapts to national initiatives and expresses
priorities that must be addressed.
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
• THE DELIVERY SYSTEM is through an action plan which
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
is outlined as follows :
Sustaining our natural & built environment
Economic development & job creation
Quality living environments
Safe, healthy and secure environments
Empowering our citizens
Celebrating cultural diversity
Good governance
Financial viability and sustainability.
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
• These plans are then processed and attempt to
•
•
give life & meaning to those principles &
development values
The process also systematically filters every
program, project and initiative in terms of the
chosen values.
Filters apply to programmes & projects as well
as to methodologies and the delivery of
programmes and projects.
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
• The value filter screens development to ensure
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
that our core values are supported.
These are listed as :

FOOD SECURITY DELIVERY
CONSTRAINTS
• Lack of enthusiasm within structures to participate with passion
• Poor identification of potential beneficiaries –not chosen for their desire to be
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
involved
A non-market approach to project development leads to surplus & exploitive business
relationships
Lack of understanding of most consultants of what constitutes sustainable
development & genuine sustainability
The inability of consultants to think outside the standard western models which are
heavily reliant on capital , high costs and economies of scale
Lack of understanding that SA is a water scarce country , and given global climate
change , this situation is unlikely to improve
Food security & linked cost increases of food due to distant production has yet to be
contextualised.
The inability of consultants to understand that economic value must be added as far
as possible up to & including retail & export , to increase the viability & income of
identified stakeholders – failing which , establishing business reap the lions share of
the income – defeating the aims of transformation of society.
