This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to eradicate the legacy of the past, the South African democratic government adopted a developmental approach to local government. The White Paper on Local Government (WPLG)(1998:17) defines developmental local government as government committed to working with citizens and groups within the community to find sustainable ways of meeting their social, economic and material needs and of improving their quality of life. A developmental approach aims to enhance the skills and capacity of community members by promoting their participation in their own development process (Theron, 2005a:120). TheIntegrated Development Plan (IDP) awards an opportunity to both the municipality and the community to work together on issues of local development. The aim of this study was to determine the role of community participation in the IDP process of Govan Mbeki Municipality. A qualitative research approach was followed in which data was gathered through document analysis and focus group interviews. The respondents in the study comprised eight community members and six municipal representatives. The key findings of the study indicated contrasting views between the community and the municipality's perspectives in particular with regard to the role of the community during the prioritisation of needs and the decision-making processes. Based on the findings and conclusions of this study, the researcher made recommendations and provided guidelines for the implementation of community participation in the IDP. The researcher concluded that in order for community participation to have maximum impact, local government is obliged to create an enabling environment for participation which includes amongst others addressing the institutional obstacles and the capacity gaps within the community. The researcher finally recommended that these roles be implemented, evaluated and integrated in the current IDP process as undertaken by Govan Mbeki Municipality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book & CD. In a developmental state like South Africa, municipalities have the specific responsibility of generating growth and development in their areas of jurisdiction. Through consultative processes, municipal goals and functioning are in the public domain. As co-creator of the future of local communities, municipalities must master the totality of local governance. To do this, current and prospective municipal managers need to understand, for example: the role and functions of municipalities in South Africa; the constitutional dispensation as it affects municipalities; the strategic orientation of municipalities within the global and national contexts; the capacities and resources available; best practices as far as management processes, procedures and methods are concerned. The book explores the multifaceted nature of municipal management in South Africa and focuses the readers attention on selected key strategic issues such as: local economic development; local democracy; disaster risk reduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa is characterised by inequitable growth and development, a high degree of poverty and the challenge of integration. The need for improved standards of living and access to better infrastructure which are seen as crucial issues in addressing poverty have necessitated the introduction of Integrated Development Planning (IDP). The IDP looks at the economic and social development of the area as a whole. It aims to coordinate the work of the local government in a coherent plan to improve the quality of life for all the people living in the community. In view of that, there is a need for proper planning and implementation of projects, as well as monitoring and assessment of success on the part of local government in order to help to eliminate poverty. In this book I investigated the implementation of IDP as a mechanism to alleviate poverty in Port Elizabeth in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality (NMBMM). As the implementation of IDP in NMBMM appears to have formidable challenges and the extensive nature of the geographical area of Port Elizabeth, the research study focused exclusively on Motherwell and KwaZakhele.

Download or read book The Thames Gateway written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-05-23 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thames Gateway stretches from Canary Wharf to the mouth of the Thames Estuary and is the most ambitious regeneration programme in Western Europe; by 2016 the Government wants there to be 160,000 new homes and 180,000 new jobs, all provided in an environmentally sustainable fashion. This report examines whether central government has laid solid foundations for the scheme, if risks have been properly identified and whether they are being properly managed. The project is assessed against a framework for best practice for successful regeneration based on both NAO research and research by the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment. The Department for Communities and Local Government already recognise the need to strengthen the management of the programme and have recently appointed a Chief Executive to achieve greater cross government influence. This report contains eight key recommendations to help the Department address the key risks, improve management and strengthen the coherence of the overall programme.

Download or read book The Perceived Impact of Integrated Development Planning IDP on the Social and Economic Development of Local Communities of Magareng Local Municipality Northern Cape Province written by Tshidi Gershwin Gideon Masilo and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first democratic elections in 1994 has resulted in the government beginning a fundamental transformation process in all three spheres of government to give effect to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, and to address numerous developmental challenges that local government faced. The municipalities are responsible for the provision of services to the communities in a sustainable and accountable manner, as well as to promote the social and economic development of their communities. Therefore, a municipality must structure and manage its administration as well as its planning and budgetary processes to give priority to the basic needs of the community, to promote the social and economic development of the community, as well as to participate in national and provincial development programmes. The main purpose of an Integrated Development Plan (IDP) of a municipality is to enhance the level of service delivery, to promote sustainability and to address poverty through an integrated and aligned approach among role players and stakeholders within the municipalities’ jurisdiction. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the perceived impact of the IDP on the social and economic development circumstances of the communities within the Magareng Local Municipality of the Northern Cape Province. For the realisation of the aim and the objectives of this study a qualitative research methodology was adopted. The literature study was based on the requirements of a qualitative study, which includes extensive literature, legislation, policy documents journal articles, books, conference papers, internet and government reports about, developmental local government, IDP and LED in the context of South African local government. An empirical study was also administered. A semi-structured questionnaire was utilized to elicit information from selected ward councilors of the Magareng Local Municipality regarding the perceived impact of IDP on the social and economic development of communities of Magareng Local Municipality of Northern Cape Province. Except for the above, a semi-structured interview schedule was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with selected municipal officials responsible for IDP and LED of Magareng Local Municipality. It was found during the literature review that although the IDP is an important strategic tool to address the socio-economic backlogs and development challenges of municipalities, more still needs to be done in order to ensure that the medium-term and long-term priorities are effectively implemented to promote effective service delivery and socio-economic conditions of communities in the Magareng Local Municipality. From the findings of the semi-structured questionnaire it was found that the majority of the ward committee members were of the opinion that the social development needs of the local communities of Magareng Local Municipality were not adequately addressed by the municipality. From the findings of the semi-structured interviews the majority of the municipal officials were of the opinion that the municipality was unsuccessful in its role to promote developmental local government with the aim to improve the social and economic circumstances of local communities. It was recommended that the Magareng Local Municipality should focus more on ward-based social and economic developmental needs and priorities in its IDP, such as poverty alleviation, job creation, youth development and local economic growth related LED projects and programmes. This could be done by attracting investments from business partners and other stakeholders. The vigorous implementation and execution of IDP and LED related projects and programmes need to be at the forefront of all social and economic development initiatives. It is recommended that the provincial government and sector departments provide support, guidance and sufficient funds to ensure that Magareng Local Municipality will be able to implement its IDP and LED related projects and programmes effectively. This will assist the municipality to complete and reduce the turnaround time of IDP and LED related projects and programmes to promote the social and economic development of local communities.
