The effectiveness of Integrated Development Planning as a tool to promote community participation : case study of Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality, Limpopo ProvinceMkabela, Serofe Magdeline January 2022 (has links)
Thesis (MPAM.) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / The study sought to assess the effectiveness of Integrated Development Planning as a tool to promote community participation in Fetakgomo Tubatse Municipality, Limpopo Province. A qualitative approach was used for data collection from a sample size of 20 municipal officials. An interview schedule was the chosen research instrument. Data was analyzed through thematic analysis. Measures were taken to ensure that the study results were credible, transferable, dependable, and confirmable. The study findings revealed that the effectiveness of the IDP as a tool for enhancing community participation was being hampered by loss of confidence in the IDP by the community; the COVID-19 pandemic; poor participation and lack of leadership commitment. In addition to the fact that community participation within the municipality was affected by challenges such as low literacy levels in the community the municipality also failed to deliver on past promises and logistical challenges. It was recommended that the municipality put plans into action to regain public confidence; introduce ward-level participation; use social media to reach wider audience and form an oversight committee to oversee the municipality’s financial accountability issues.

Monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for sustainable development in Sedibeng District MunicipalityZwane, Engeline January 2014 (has links)
In South Africa, democracy has brought transformative improvement in the system of governance. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996) implemented in the post-apartheid era, has raised the status of the lowest sphere of government, by granting these authorities delegated responsibilities. This sphere of governance is known as local government (municipal government) and in the present context developmental local government is both democratically elected and decentralized. The restructuring of local governance requires municipalities to serve the communities within their areas of jurisdiction. This has brought capacity challenges for the municipalities. They are charged with delivering acceptable standards of services to the residents. The current lack of deliverance is evident in the widespread protests, with community members showing their dissatisfaction with sub-standard service delivery and backlogs. Furthermore, municipalities are required to formulate their own by-laws improve the lives of community members, and to implement their legislative mandates satisfactorily. In order for the municipalities to perform more effectively, a transformative model is necessary. The quality of services currently delivered at municipal level must be reviewed. Monitoring and evaluation are the key elements of assessment which must be undertaken. The rationale behind this monitoring and evaluation is to make the system of governance more effective through an even-handed assessment of policies, programmes, projects, strategies, performance of personnel, and the organization as a whole. For the purpose of this study, the researcher explored the challenges regarding monitoring and evaluation and its impact on sustainable development in Sedibeng District Municipality utilizing the quantitative research approach. A model is proposed for improvement called as Monitoring and Evaluation for Sustainable Development (MESD). / PhD (Public Management and Governance), North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2014

The management of potable water supply in Mogwase Township, Moses Kotane Local Municipality / Daniel Kagiso MosimeMosime, Daniel Kagiso January 2014 (has links)
The continuous population growth and the notable development of the mining industry have resulted in challenges for potable water supply in South Africa. The ever-increasing number of people migrating to urban areas has resulted in the demand of potable water supply in South Africa. Water is regarded as a human basic right which is promulgated by the recent amendment of the potable water service provisioning Water Services Act 108 of 1997 and the National Water Act 36 of 1998. The afore-mentioned Acts started a process to address the imbalance that existed during the apartheid regime. (The apartheid regime essentially had one objective initially, namely the control of (black, coloured and Indian) people in order to protect white privilege). It was meant to separate people of different races).The Acts were formulated to address the equal distribution of national resource for all South Africans.
Mogwase Township in Moses Kotane Local Municipality is undergoing continuous growth with several mining areas being developed. Consequently, the supply of potable water has been a challenge in the area. It is, therefore, in the interest of the researcher to investigate the management of potable water supply in Mogwase Township with the aim of suggesting improved service delivery by the Moses Kotane Local Municipality.
Water is now recognised as a scarce resource that belongs to all South Africans. The provision of potable water by the water services authorities (WSAs) is an important basic service that faces a number of challenges, such as the use of outdated infrastructure, namely: pipelines from the Vaalkop Dam, the lack of skilled and knowledgeable people, improper planning, and the booming population that place overt pressure on the demand for effective and efficient service delivery.
This research was undertaken to investigate how Moses Kotane Local Municipality which obtains its potable water supply from Vaalkop Dam can improve the supply of water in a more effective, efficient, equitable, economic and sustainable manner through improved co-operative governance and integrated water resource management (IWRM).
The qualitative and quantitative research designs were used to conduct the research, which included a literature review, semi-structured interviews, data sampling and scientific analysis of the responses.
The researcher arrived at logical conclusions and S.M.A.R.T. (Simple, Measureable, and Achievable Realistic Timebound) recommendations with regard to all aspects related to the future management of potable water supply in Mogwase Township. / MA (Development and Management), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

A management plan for locally generated economic development in South AfricaNel, Verna Joan 06 1900 (has links)
Local authorities in South Africa need to compile and implement local economic
development plans. These plans are not only required by law as a component of
integrated development plans, but also emanate from the pressing needs of many
communities for development, job creation, and greater welfare and prosperity.
A review of the historical and theoretical background reveals changing approaches and
different theories to defend the actions taken. A critique of typical strategies and
processes reveals that no one strategy or process can be universally applied, but that
these should be adapted to the community's unique circumstances. Shortcomings and
appropriate applications are indicated.
The management plan presents a process to enable local authorities in partnership with
the community to compile a plan for locally generated and directed development. This
plan can, but need not, be a component of an integrated development plan and is thus
compatible with integrated development planning and the formulation of local
development objectives.
The plan draws on a number of planning methodologies including urban planning, city
marketing, strategic planning and neuro-linguistic programming approaches. Techniques
from these and community development methodologies are included to guide the
community through the process of creating a vision, analysis, goal setting, plan and
strategy formulation, implementation and review. This management plan is designed as a
generic process that can be applied to a variety of circumstances. The flexible nature of
the process permits innovation and adaptations to local needs and other fields of
planning. It also provides scope for further research on theories, methodologies and
techniques. / Geography / D.Phil. (Geography)

Municipal cultural policy and development in South Africa: a study of the city of Tshwane metropolitan municipalityNawa, Lebogang Lancelot 25 April 2013 (has links)
This study examines the relationship, or lack thereof, between cultural policy and development at the local government sphere in South Africa and, ascertains the extent to which the City of Tswane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM), as the focus of the case study, involves culture in its development framework. The research is informed by an observation from internationa best- practices that local government, as a sphere of governance closect to the people, is one of the best platforms on which the centrality of culture in the development matrix of any country is located and upheld. The research was arranged in three sections or phases, namely: exploration, discovery and the consolidation. / African Languages / D. Litt. et Phil.

Environmental impact assessment, integrated development planning and the pursuit of sustainable development in South Africa : a critical reflection on the consideration of alternativesGerber, Gerhard 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil (Sustainable Development Planning and Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / Despite our best planning and Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) efforts we seem to be
failing in our pursuit of Sustainable Development. In South Africa we find ourselves confronted
with the harsh reality that after 14 years of democracy, more than a decade of compulsory EIA,
and 12 years of legislated Integrated Development Planning (“IDP”), poverty remains
widespread and persists alongside affluence, while inequalities are also growing. In addition
South Africa’s life-supporting ecosystems continue to deteriorate at an alarming rate. Critically
reflecting on what is going wrong, it is clear that there is an emergent consensus in the
discourse that points towards the inadequate consideration of alternatives.
A literature review of the historical development and social construction of the concept of
“sustainable development”; a theoretical analysis of sustainable development, planning and EIA;
as well as an analysis of the legislative and policy framework for EIA and IDP in South Africa,
shows that the consideration of alternatives is the “heart” and “soul” of EIA and IDP, and
therefore of the pursuit of sustainable development in South Africa. A content analysis of a
sample of EIAs and IDPs undertaken and produced in the Western Cape Province of South
Africa, however, indicates that alternatives are not being adequately considered during the
current practice of EIA and IDP in South Africa – resulting in only slightly less unsustainable
development and a perpetuation of the unsustainable and unjust “business-as-usual”
development types and patterns of the past.
EIA and IDP can never be, and were never supposed to be completely separate processes.
EIAs must be considered within the context to be provided by the sustainable development
vision, goals and objectives to be formulated in, and the desired spatial form and pattern of land
use to be reflected in an area’s IDP and Spatial Development Frameworks (“SDF”). Properly
informed Strategic Environmental Assessment based IDPs and SDFs, refined by Environmental
Management Frameworks, should therefore provide the strategic context and decision-making
framework for the consideration of need, desirability and alternatives; with the actual and
potential socio-economic and ecological impacts of a specific proposal to be considered during
the project-level EIA. Project-level EIAs in turn providing “feedback” to the planning processes to
ensure reflexivity and continued improvement. The improved integration and convergence of
IDP and EIA decision-making methodologies and practice are therefore paramount to the
adequate consideration of alternatives and the pursuit of sustainable development in South
Africa.
While the challenges to be addressed by EIA and IDP in South Africa are complex and ‘wicked’,
and the pursuit of sustainable development solutions is therefore also a complex and ongoing
process, the need for fundamental alternatives that will lead to drastic and urgent change for the
better are, however, just as real. The urgency and importance of the sustainable development
challenge for South Africa calls for bold decisions and the search for sustainable alternatives
that will deliver urgent and fundamental change for all South Africans. The practice of EIA and
IDP should be driven by these realities and reflect the need for urgent and fundamental change.

Making the connection : the inclusion of information and communication technology in Western Cape Municipal integrated development plansDe Waal, Liezel 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study examines the Western Cape municipal Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) and questions whether these IDPs include Information and Communication Technology (ICT) initiatives that promote development.
IDPs are used by municipalities as multi-sectoral plans that provide situation analyses of municipal areas and determine development priorities in municipal areas. These development priorities must be met within certain budget and time constraints. Globalisation and the technological revolution have led to the rapid development and convergence of technology. Technology, such as the Internet and cellular telephones, has had various influences on society. One of these influences includes the possible application of ICT for the purpose of development. Therefore both IDPs and ICT can be applied for developmental purposes. The study thus brings together two seemingly unrelated concepts, namely Integrated Development Plans and Information and Communication Technology and aligns them with one another through the concept of development.
The study includes three main objectives. Firstly, the Integrated Development Plans of the municipalities in the Western Cape were examined to ascertain whether these municipalities address ICT in their IDPs. Secondly, the nature of the ICT initiatives was determined. This refers to whether the ICT initiatives are for use in the community or for use in the municipality. Finally, a framework was developed, which includes the classification of the different types of municipalities, together with the different types of ICT initiatives. Recommendations were made based on this framework. The various theoretical issues discussed in this study include the transformation of local government in South Africa and the establishment of developmental local government. Various issues concerning the use of ICT for development are also discussed and they include the ‘Information Society’, the ‘Digital Divide’ and ICT for development. This discussion emphasises that success of ICT initiatives for development depends on the nature of the underlying policy agenda; this agenda must be demand-driven and pro-poor. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die Wes-Kaap munisipale Geintegreerde Ontwikkelingsplanne (GOP’s) en bevraagteken of dié GOP’s Inligting en Kommunikasie Tegnologie (IKT) inisiatiewe wat ontwikkeling bevorder, insluit.
GOP’s word deur munisipaliteite as multi-sektorale planne gebruik wat toestandsontledings van munisipale gebiede voorsien en die ontwikkelingsprioriteite in munisipale gebiede bepaal. Hierdie ontwikkelingsprioriteite moet binne sekere begrotings- en tydsbeperkings bevredig word. Globalisering en die tegnologiese revolusie het tot die spoedige ontwikkeling en samevoeging van tegnologie gelei. Tegnologie, soos die Internet en selulêre telefone, het verskeie uitwerkings op die samelewing teweeggebring. Een van die uitwerkings sluit die moontlike aanwending van IKT vir ontwikkelingsdoeleindes in. Beide GOP’s en IKT kan dus vir ontwikkelingsdoeleindes aangewend word. Die studie bring daarom twee oënskynlik onverwante onderwerpe, naamlik Geintegreerde Ontwikkelingsplanne en Informasie en Kommunikasie Tegnologie deur die konsep van ontwikkeling by mekaar uit.
Die studie bevat drie hoof doelwitte. Eerstens om die Geintegreerde Ontwikkelingsplanne van die munisipaliteite in die Wes-Kaap te ondersoek om vas te stel of hierdie munisipaliteite IKT in hul GOP’s aanspreek. Tweedens is die aard van die IKT inisiatiewe vasgestel. Dit verwys na IKT inisiatiewe wat binne die gemeenskap óf binne die munisipaliteit plaasvind. Laastens is ’n raamwerk ontwikkel. Dit sluit ’n klassifikasie van die verskillende soorte munisipaliteite, asook die verskillende soorte IKT inisiatiewe in. Aanbevelings wat gemaak word, word op hierdie raamwerk gegrond. Verskeie teoretiese kwessies word ook verder in hierdie studie bespreek. Dit sluit die transformasie van plaaslike regering in Suid-Afrika en die totstandkoming van ontwikkelingsgerigte plaaslike regering in. Verskeie kwessies wat die gebruik van IKT vir ontwikkeling betref, word ook bespreek. Dit sluit die ‘Inligting-gedrewe Samelewing’, die ‘Digitale Gaping’ en IKT vir ontwikkeling, in. Hierdie bespreking beklemtoon dat die geslaagdheid van IKT inisiatiewe vir ontwikkeling van die aard van die onderliggende beleidsagenda afhang; dié agenda moet aanvraag-gedrewe en ten gunste van armes wees.
