IDP PROCESS

We started on 1 July 2001 …

Granted … some municipalities only started in September 2001!

Most municipalities picked up speed… when budget needed to be linked !

Some mun’s used consultants …Some mun’s did not !

We established “IDP Forums” …We established “IDP Forums” …

We held “forum” meetings … and workshopped ….We held “forum” meetings … and workshopped ….

What did we achieve …

or not achieve?

To determine our achievement we had to ‘assess’ the IDPs?

Organisational arrangements Participation Methodology (i.e. IDP guide) Support systems Integration (from priorities to projects/prog’s) Alignment (horizontal and vertical) Planning-budget link What ‘Skills’ do we have …

We looked at eight areas of IDP …

What did we find …

Mun’s did follow a strategic process …

Summary of POSITIVE findings IDP has become the principle planning document IDP started to bring spheres of govt together New relationships (partnerships) were created Structured involvement did occur Core skills were being developed around IDP Innovative ideas generated on prioritisation Identified ‘key development priorities’ Quantified our backlogs Generated project ideas Started to understand the support needs/systems

What we did not find …

Areas of concern …

We did not see new ‘integrated systems’ …

We did not harness all our resources …

Early areas if concern after first round …

• Credible and the ‘right kind’ of information (trends/socio-econ)• Ineffective IDP-municipal budget link• Poor “project scoping” (without funding remain ‘wish lists’)• Infrastructure focus prevented broader development debate• Slavish following of IDP Guides – over complex processes• Participation gaps – especially business community• Lack of considering alternative service delivery partnerships• Weak “inter-governmental” planning and budgeting• Inadequate focus on “rural reality”
