1. INTRODUCTION
Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is designed:
To strengthen the link between Local, District, Provincial and National priorities,
objectives, resource allocation and implementation of programmes
To provide means whereby municipalities can maintain and communicate IDP
information, thereby supporting ease of access and use by stakeholders across all
spheres of government,
To support coordination between sectors, clusters and priority areas
To support the timely submission of key planning information to all spheres of
government.
The process plan outlines role players, responsibilities and timelines for developing the Integrated
Development Plan for 2020/2021.
1.1. LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK
The Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No 32 of 2000:
35 “(1) An integrated development plan adopted by the council of a municipality (a) is the principal
strategic planning instrument which guides and informs all planning and development, and all
decisions with regard to planning, management and development in the municipality”;
(b) “binds the municipality in the exercise of its executive authority…”
25 “(1) Each municipal council must, within a prescribed period after the start of its elected term, adopt a
single, inclusive and strategic plan for the development of the municipality which
(a) links, integrates and co-ordinates plans and takes into account proposals for the
development of the municipality:
(b) aligns the resources and capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the plan:
(c) forms the policy framework and general basis on which annual budgets must be based;
(d) complies with the provisions of this Chapter; and
(e) is compatible with national and provincial development plans and planning requirements
binding on the municipality in terms of legislation.”
In accordance with this legislation, the Mnquma Local Municipality’s IDP, as the principal planning
document, sets out the long-term vision of the Municipality as; “A developmental municipality that is

self-sustainable to empower its citizens socially, economically and legislatively to ensure sustainable
livelihood”.
Mnquma Local Municipality IDP also details the:
development of priorities and objectives, which contribute towards achieving this
vision, over the Councils elected term;
strategies, which are the means by which these objectives will be achieved;
IDP programmes and projects which link to the strategies and contribute to the
achievement of the objectives.

requirements set out in the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No. 32 of 2000, the Local

Finance Management Act No. 56 of 2003.
In terms of the Municipal Systems Act No 32 of 2000 a municipality is required to review its IDP

1.2. THE IDP PROCESS PLAN
It is required by legislation that a municipal council adopt a process to guide the planning, drafting and
adoption of its IDP.
Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No.32 of 2000 Section 28
“Adoption of process-(1) each municipal council…must adopt a process set out in writing to guide the planning
drafting adoption and review of its integrated development plan.”

in the Act. A Process Plan is required to include:
a programme specifying time-frames for the different steps;
outline mechanisms, processes and procedures for consultation of the community, organs of
state, traditional authorities and role-players;
identify all plans and planning requirements binding on the municipality, and
be consistent with any other matters prescribed by legislation.
Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No.32 of 2000 Section 29
“ Process to be followed-(1) the process followed by a municipality to draft its integrated development plan,
including its consideration and adoption of the draft plan, must –
(a) be in accordance with pre-determined programme specifying timeframes for the different steps;
(b) through appropriate mechanisms, processes and procedures established in terms of Chapter 4 allow
for-
i. the local community to be consulted on its development needs and priorities;

iii. organs of state, including traditional authorities, and other role players to be identified and
consulted on the drafting of the IDP;
(c) provide for the identification of all plans and planning requirements binding on the municipality in
terms of national and provincial legislation; and
(d) be consistent with any other matters that may be prescribed by regulation”
1.3. IDP INFORMANTS
The IDP is a multi-sectoral planning document requiring inputs from all spheres of government and
community members. Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No 32 of 2000 prescribes elements
of a credible Integrated Development Plan. Sector plans to be included in the IDP include but not

MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2020/2021 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN
16 | P a g e

various civic and community organisations as well as other formal structures affected by

communities on an ongoing basis to solicit inputs in as far as the development challenges
they face are concerned. To do this in an effective, efficient and structured manner,
Mnquma Local Municipality has institutionalised a process of community engagement

where direct participation by communities is encouraged. To complement this process,
ward level planning where planning methods are used to gather data are utilised.
