MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2018/2019 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN

1.       INTRODUCTION

Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is designed:
        To strengthen the link between local, provincial and national priorities and objectives,
         resource allocation and implementation,
        To provide a 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.

It therefore involves various internal stakeholders at all levels as enshrined in the legal framework.
The process plan outlines role players, responsibilities and timelines for developing the Integrated
Development Plan.

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:

MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2018/2019 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN

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.

Mnquma Local Municipality will review and further develop its IDP and Budget in accordance with the
requirements set out in the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No. 32 of 2000, the Local
Government: Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations 2001 and the Municipal
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
annually. Annual revisions allow the municipality to expand upon or refine plans and strategies, to
include additional issues and to ensure that these plans and strategies inform institutional and
financial planning. .

 Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No.32 of 2000 Section 34
 “A municipal council –
 (a) must review its integrated development plan

          (i) annually in accordance with an assessment of its performance measurements … and

          (ii) to the extent that changing circumstances so demand and
 (b) may amend its integrated development plan in accordance with a prescribed process”

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.”

This Process Plan outlines the programme to be followed and provides detail on the issues specified
in the Act. A Process Plan is required to include:

        a programme specifying time-frames for the different steps;

4|Page
MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2018/2019 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN

               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;
                       ii.      the local community to participate in the drafting of the IDP;
                       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

2.1       IDP PHASES

A detailed action plan with time frames and dates for the various phases and the identified activities
follows in the next section. Whilst the format of the action suggests that the IDP process follows
sequential steps.

2.2       Phase 1: Preparing for IDP Review 2018/2019
During this phase all the institutional preparations and arrangements to ensure that the process runs
smoothly:
         designing an action programme for the process, indicating main activities, and time frames;
         assigning roles and responsibilities;
         putting in place organizational arrangements, the procedures and mechanisms for public
          participation.

The key “output” of this preparation phase is a Process Plan, to be approved by Council.

2.3       Phase 2: Monitoring & Evaluation and Updated Analysis

The purpose of the Analysis Phase is to establish baseline in each key performance area to inform
objectives and strategies. The key informants for this phase are:
         community needs and aspirations
         knowledge of available and accessible resources.
         information of the dynamics influencing the development in the municipality.

The process will involve gathering and collating relevant information, including:

         identification of what has been achieved and the gaps with respect to 2018/2019 Integrated
          Development Plan
         progress with the implementation of current programmes and projects;
         new information from internal and external sources, such as:
          -     new policy and legislation
          -     budget information from other spheres of government - identifying potential and available
                funding from all sources
          -     more or improved in-depth information about the existing situation and priority issues,
                information about new development and trends - including information arising out of
                sector plans
          -     input from stakeholder organizations and community members

MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2018/2019 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN

        The output of this phase will be an updated situational analysis, wherein the prioritized/key issues for
        are identified to inform objectives and strategies.

        2.4       PHASE 3: OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, PROJECTS & PROGRAMMES

        The information from the situational analysis phase will inform objectives, strategies phase. Projects
        and programmes will be identified for implementation to ensure that set objectives and strategies are
        realized.

        2.5       PHASE 4: CONSOLIDATE REVIEWED IDP 2018/2019
        It is anticipated that during this phase:
                 the IDP programmes & projects will be further refined through the work of Clusters and
                  Directorates;
                 the draft IDP will be presented to the Clusters, IDP/PMS and Budget Representative Forum;
                  and
                 the IDP Report will be consolidated for submission to Council.

        Once the draft IDP and Budget 2018/2019 has been approved by Council, they will be advertised for
        public comments and will be presented and discussed in public meetings (IDP and Budget Road-
        shows) across the municipality.

        2.6       PHASE 5: APPROVAL

        During this phase consideration will be given to the comments arising out of the public participation
        process and review of 2018/2019 IDP will be submitted, together with the budget, to Council for final
        adoption.

                                                   private sector.

  5. MONITORING AND AMENDMENTS

  It is imperative that the monitoring and review mechanisms be catered for in the IDP review process.
  In relation to the monitoring and amendment of the IDP/ Budget/PMS Process Plan the following is
  recommended:

           The Municipal Manager and/or delegated official (Director Strategic Management) co-ordinate
            and monitor the IDP review process;

  13 | P a g e
MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2018/2019 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN

               Progress to be reported to the Executive Mayor, and any deviations from the Process Plan
                must be reported and approved by the Executive Mayor;

               The Executive Mayor may advise the Council of any amendments that ought to be effected in
                the process plan.

       6. BINDING PLANS AND LEGISLATION

       The Municipal Structures Act, No 117 of 1998, Municipal Systems Act, No 32 of 2000 (as amended),
       and Municipal Finance Management Act, No 56 of 2003 are specific to local government. The
       Municipal Systems Act has a specific chapter (5) dedicated to Integrated Development Plans and it is
       the overarching piece of legislation with regard to development of the IDP.

       National sector legislation contains various kinds of requirements for municipalities to undertake
       planning. Sector requirements vary in nature in the following way:

               A requirement that planning be undertaken as a component of, or part of, the IDP (like a
                housing strategy and targets).
               Links between the IDP and budget process as outlined in the Municipal Finance Management
                Act, 2003.
               Legal compliance requirement (such as principles required in the Development Facilitation
                Act – DFA – and the National Environmental Management Act – NEMA).
               More a recommendation than a requirement, which is deemed to add value to the municipal
                planning process and product (in this case, Local Agenda 21).

       These are highlighted in the table below:

       Mnquma Local Municipality will include all the planning documents that have been approved by
       Council and other strategies that might be relevant to the IDP process, as accompanying documents
       to the IDP.

       7. MECHANISMS AND PROCEDURES FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

       The Local Government Municipal Systems Act No.32 of 2000 Section 16:

       “Development of culture of community participation-(1)A municipality must develop a culture of municipal
       governance that complements formal representative government with a system of participatory governance, and
       must for this purpose-
       (a) encourage, and create conditions for, the local community to participate in the affairs of       the municipality,
       including in—
       (i) the preparation. implementation and development of its integrated development plan in terms of Chapter 5
       (ii) the establishment, implementation and review of its performance management system in terms of Chapter 6
       (iii) the monitoring and review of its performance, including the outcomes and impact of such performance
       (iv) the preparation of its budget; and
       (v) strategic decisions relating to the provision of municipal services in terms of Chapter 8

       15 | P a g e
MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2018/2019 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN

(b) contribute to building the capacity of—
(i) the local community [to enable it to participate in the affairs of the municipality; and
(ii) councillors and staff to foster community participation; and
(c)use its resources, and annually allocate funds in its budget, as may be appropriate for the purpose of
implementing paragraphs (a) and (b).”

For purposes of compliance with this legislative requirement, Mnquma Local Municipality has
established formal structures for effective participation in the IDP processes. Below is a description of
the participatory function of each of the various structures established for the IDP process.

               IDP/PMS and Budget Representative Forum – constituted of formal representatives of
                various civic and community organisations as well as other formal structures affected by
                the development efforts of the municipality such as:
                    o    Traditional Leaders forums
                    o    Established forums (business chambers and organisations)
                    o    NGOs
                    o    CBO
                    o    CDWs and Ward Committees
                The role of the IDP Forum is to verify and make additions to data collected through non-
                formal participatory methods.
               In addition to the formal process of representation through the IDP Representative Forum
                engagement and other Council processes, Mnquma Local Municipality consults its
                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
                through the Mayoral Imbizos. These are community meetings held at the ward level
                where direct participation by communities is encouraged. To complement this process,
                ward level planning where planning methods are used to gather data are utilised.
