The new developmental role of local authorities holds the key to the development process of South Africa. In this process local government is a key role-player that should be empowered to unlock local delivery and development.
Empowering local government will require a major reconstruction and transformation effort. It will also require changes in the way local government thinks, behaves and organises itself. Developmental local government
-
actively promotes social and economic development in their areas;
-
shapes their local spaces in a more equitable and efficient manner;
-
plays a strong policy-making and strategic role;
-
restructures itself to allow for both effective service delivery and greater community participation; and
-
has the interest of the poor at the core of its missio n.
Integrated Development Planning (IDP) is a crucial mechanism to achieve developmental local government and to overcome the apartheid legacy of our towns. It generally refers to a process of planning which takes a range of sectors, development activities and actors into consideration. It also adopts a holistic approach to the tools available to undertake such a process of planning and, on this basis, attempts to construct linkages between financial planning, infrastructure investment planning, service delivery and inter-governmental relations.
IDP is a way of maximising the impacts of all developmental interventions that government makes and is especially relevant at the local level.
