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.

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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community Economic Development (CED) in South Africa is shaped by the historicalprocesses of the former Apartheid regime that discriminated the social and economic rights of the majority of people, thus disempowering them to participate in development. The notion of Integrated Community Economic Development (ICED) enhances the concept of participation in community economic development in that it advocates for an empowerment dimension in development. In order to facilitate this participation, the government has introduced the participatory mechanisms of the IDP and ward committee system. Paradoxically, inequalities in development persist in previously disadvantaged homelands which were excluded from participation in developmental initiatives of the former regime. Consequently, these mechanisms for ICED have not been able to achieve participation of communities in ICED. Winterveldt is one such area with a legacy of social exclusion through racial and ethnic discrimination. The goal of the study was to explore the lack of participation of the Winterveldt community in ICED guided by the research question: 'What are the reasons for the lack of participation of the Winterveldt community in ICED?' A qualitative research approach was followed and the research design was a case study. Data was gathered through focus group interviews and document studies. The focus groups were comprised of 13 community participants and 10 ward committee personnel from Winterveldt. Research findings revealed various reasons for the lack of participation in the ICED of Winterveldt including role confusion, the lack of information and training on the IDP and political power abuse. The study concluded that participation flows along lines that safeguard the interests of local government with little respect for the community's capacity to make decisions concerning their development. Recommendations towards the achievement of participation in the ICED of Winterveldt include training on the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), the development of a guideline for implementing the IDP and changes in attitudes of all actors in the ICED of Winterveldt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of recent advances in Integrated Community-Managed Development (ICMD) as an innovative strategy for the community-based development of local institutions in order to achieve lasting poverty reduction and empowerment. The original approach presented here to improving the lives and livelihoods of the poor takes a critical stance on the failing concept of conventional community development, as it is based on the shifting paradigm of 'bottom-up' cooperation and development, where recent regional autonomy policies are enabling national services to successfully integrate with local institutions at the community level. Based on recent experiences in South-East Asia, where the implementation of an alternative approach to integrating financial, medical, educational, communication and socio-cultural services has led to increased community participation and impressive poverty reduction, the book highlights the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of this innovative strategy. The potential offered by applying the newly developed 'ICMD formula' worldwide as a function of themes, principles and services is reflected in the book’s diverse range of contributions, written by respected researchers and practitioners in the fields of development economics and financial management.

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.
