Policy-making for local government excellence in the Free State province

Boshoff, Willem Hendrik January 2008 (has links)
Thesis (M. Tech) -- Central University of Technology, Free State, 2008 / In terms of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act 108 of 1996), local government in South Africa is obliged to ensure that sustainable services are provided to communities. Without any doubt, the effective and efficient execution of this responsibility would bring about an environment conducive to service excellence on local government level. However, South African municipalities are characterised by poor service provision; and the various incidents arising from dissatisfaction on the part of residents in respect of the services rendered are daily becoming a greater challenge to municipalities in the Free State Province. In order to meet the service provision standards, as stipulated in the Constitution, the development and implementation of municipal policies is essential. Policy is defined, inter alia, as the setting out of basic principles that must be pursued in order to achieve specific objectives. Local government has the legislative and executive competency to develop and implement policies. As a result of the diversity and complexity of policy-making, a conceptual framework for the policy-making process at local government level is an essential requirement. This process is described in the dissertation as a sequential pattern consisting of the following phases: policy agenda-setting, policy formulation, policy adoption, policy implementation and execution and policy evaluation. However, municipalities do not have the institutional capacity, skills and experience necessary for the development and implementation of municipal policies. A further aspect that complicates the creation and implementation of policies is the large amount of legislation that regulates local government in South Africa. This legislation also requires municipalities to develop and implement various policies. There are several factors that influence policy-making at local government level. Aspects such as the political environment, the financial environment and community needs have a direct and significant effect on policy-making at this level of government. Capacity shortages probably comprise the factor that has the most detrimental effect on policy-making at local government level; and therefore the necessity for the relevant skills and knowledge relating to policymaking is indisputable. It is just as essential, however, that the other two spheres of government, namely national and provincial government, should carry out their constitutional obligation to support municipalities and strengthen their capacity. Therefore, the aim of this study is, firstly, to identify specific actions that could be implemented by local and district municipalities to improve the policy-making process. Secondly, to determine the reasons for the inadequate formulation, adoption and implementation of the municipal policies. Thirdly, to determine the specific role of national and provincial government, as well as that of the South African Local Government Association (SALGA), in supporting municipalities in the policy-making process. In addition, strategies that could be implemented in order to improve the institutional capacity, skills and experience at local government level, with a view to developing and implementing appropriate policies, have also been identified.

Volhoubare voorsiening van geselekteerde munisipale dienste in Centurion : 'n polities-geografiese ondersoek / The sustainable provision of selected municipal services in Centurion : a politico-gepgraphical investigation

De Jager, Anna Elizabeth 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / In this study the relationship between political decision making, spatial change and provision of selected municipal services was investigated. Legislation and policy, spatial demarcation and local government structures are determined by political decision making on various government levels. The international system as well as the local history and factors leading to spatial change impact on municipal demarcation and service delivery. Demographic change due to re-delimitation of boundaries, densification within the area of jurisdiction and immigration imply that service requirements change. In 1994/5, the rural and residential areas were incorporated to the former Verwoerdburg and formed the Southern Pretoria Metropolitan Substructure (Centurion). In December 2000 Centurion lost its autonomous status and was incorporated as administrative unit into the larger Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. Restructuring have implications for the political representation of communities, the spatial extension of service networks, priority areas, and the location of service provision points. / In hierdie studie is die verband tussen politieke besluitneming, ruimtelike verandering en die lewering van geselekteerde munisipale dienste ondersoek. Wetgewing en beleid, ruimtelike afbakening en plaaslikeowerheidstrukture word deur politieke besluitneming op verskillende regeringsvlakke bepaal. Die internasionale sisteem, asook plaaslike historiese gebeure en aanleidende faktore tot ruimtelike verandering het 'n impak op beide munisipale afbakening en dienslewering. Demografiese verandering as gevolg van die herbepaling van grense, verdigting binne die regsgebied en immigrasie impliseer dat diensbehoeftes verander. Landelike en residensiele gebiede is in 1994/5 by die voormalige Verwoerdburg geinkorporeer om die Suidelike Pretoria Metropolitaanse Substruktuur (Centurion) te vorm. In Desember 2000 het die Stadsraad van Centurion sy outonome status verloor en is as administratiewe eenheid by die groter Tshwane Metropolitaanse Munisipaliteit geinkorporeer. Herstrukturering het implikasies vir die politieke verteenwoordiging wat gemeenskappe geniet, die ruimtelike uitbreiding van diensnetwerke, prioriteitsgebiede en die plasing van dienstevoorsieningspunte. / Geography / M.A. (Geografie)

Public participation in policy-making and implementation with specific reference to the Port Elizabeth municipality

Masango, Reuben 06 1900 (has links)
Public participation in policy-making and implementation is an integral part of public administration and an essential ingredient of community development and democracy. This study describes, analyses and evaluates the role played by public participation in policy-making and implementation in South Africa, with specific reference to the Port Elizabeth Municipality. It investigates how the process of public participation in policy-making and implementation can be strengthened and made more fluid. The levels of knowledge regarding legislation, institutions and processes of public interaction with the legislative and policy-making and implementation institutions, and the intention to participate in these processes, are regarded as important. Among others, the concept participation and the impact of the process of public participation as well as the extent of awareness of the South African public with regard to its democratic rights ar:id freedom and newly acquired opportunities of interaction in policy-making and implementation are examined. The issues of concern in which the South African public would like to participate are also examined. In order to make meaningful decisions about public needs and demands, policy makers and implementers should obtain current information about such needs and demands. Public participation is an appropriate mechanism for conveying such information and should therefore be encouraged and preserved. It appears that the constitutional and legislative framework is an appropriate instrument for this purpose. However, in order to facilitate the development of the culture of participation, other prerequisites of public participation should not be forgotten. A lack of information about the process of public participation and a dearth of literature on the subject of public participation are among the challenges facing South Africa. The investigation indicates that there is lack of knowledge about institutions and legislation, as well as illiteracy and inadequate participation skills. Although Constitutional and statutory provisions reflect good intentions about public participation, with low levels of knowledge about such provisions and inadequate interaction between public participation and policy-making and implementation, a fluid process of participation which could deepen, broaden and sustain democracy would remain a utopian ideal. However, various mechanisms, by which this scenario could be addressed, could be devised and implemented. / Public Administration / D. Admin

An assessment of green procurement practices in South African metropolitan municipalities

Agyepong, Adelaide Owusu 09 1900 (has links)
Environmental degradation is a global challenge that affects all. One of the most prominent impacts of environmental degradation is the climate change phenomenon. The adverse impacts of climate change have given rise to responses aimed at retarding, halting and learning to live with the already present effects of climate change. These responses to climate change fall into two broad categories: mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation addresses the climate change challenge through seeking a reduction or elimination of anthropogenic generated greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Adaptation on the other hand addresses climate change through reducing the adverse impacts of climate change as well as exploiting economic and social opportunities presented by climate change. Green procurement has been identified as one of the climate change intervention measures. This is because research shows that procurement policies and practices of both the public and private sectors have the potential to influence environmentally friendly modes of production and the provision of ‘greener’ goods and services that include infrastructure. In many developing countries the big spending power of the public sector, particularly municipalities, makes them influential players in the nature of goods and services production and provision. Against this background, this study investigates the role of South African metropolitan municipalities in addressing environmental decay through green procurement. Specifically, the study aims to assess the levels of green procurement practices of goods and services within South Africa metropolitan municipalities. This is achieved through; (i) determining the level of understanding of sustainable development, and (ii) determining the extent to which green procurement is practiced in South African metropolitan municipalities, and identifying policy and legislative requirements (if any) that support green procurement practices. Given the complexity of means, policy and practices around the green procurement drive; the study employed a mixed method approach. The mixed method approach employed three methods namely: document analysis, interviews and the use of a questionnaire. Analysis of data included content analysis, inductive thematic analysis and basic numerical analysis of the questionnaire, using MS Excel. The study made two broad findings; (i) there is generally a good understanding of the sustainable development discourse among South Africa’s metropolitan officials; and (ii) policy response to green procurement shows that the older metropolitans that include the City of Cape Town, City of Johannesburg, City of Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, eThekwini and Nelson Mandela Bay have made greater progress making explicit reference to green procurement in different policies compared to the younger metropolitans such as Buffalo City and Mangaung. Despite the general understanding of the sustainable development discourse and evidence of explicit reference to green procurement in some metropolitan policy documents there is a general lack of comprehensive implementation of green procurement practices across all the metropolitan municipalities. The current implementation is sporadic and largely through a number of projects that are not always linked to give rise to effective synergies. The study concludes that there is limited implementation of green procurement policies and strategies in all metropolitans. This may be attributed to limited policy understanding and lack of education and training around green economy transition and green procurement issues. The study recommends the mainstreaming of the green procurement concept into already existing policies and to establish new policies where there are none. There is a need to translate the policies into legislation and regulations that carry incentive to reward and encourage the desired green procurement practices. There is further need to put in place sanctions to discourage and halt undesired procurement practices. / Environmental Sciences / D. Litt. et Phil. (Environmental Management)

Intergovernmental relations : sustainable human settlements in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality in Gauteng Province

Senoamadi, Johannes Malose 12 1900 (has links)
This research is an examination of the practical application of intergovernmental relations (IGR) and co-operative government at the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM)’s Department of Housing and Human Settlements. By use of questionnaire and direct interviews, the research extracted responses from methodically selected employees and officials at the Department of Housing and Human Settlements in the CTMM. Literature study was combined with document analysis and a part of participant observation to gather data and information that has been examined and analysed in the study that has established the need for training and skilling for officials and employees in financial and project management. The need for the rolling back of political interference, regular review of legislation to keep abreast with the changing environment and international standards and improved institutional communication are but some of the observations and arguments that the research has established from a careful reading of data gathered. The enabling policies, laws and regulations that are in place remain largely good on paper, but still limited in their practical application. It is argued in this research that housing and human settlements are a provision that is central in the democratic and development life of the Republic of South Africa, and that the provision of sustainable human settlements enriches the livelihoods of communities in so far as other services such as education, recreation, health care, electricity, economic opportunities, safety, transport and communication are also dependent on the availability of sustainable human settlements and the amenities that comes with it. It is the recommendation of the present research that if the policies, regulations, laws and goals that govern the IGR towards the delivery of sustainable human settlements are to achieve maximum fruition, there is a need for vigorous monitoring and evaluation mechanisms that will ensure that budgets are efficiently used, that standing decisions are implemented and that partisan politics and corruption and opportunistic tendencies are eliminated as these hinder performance and delivery. / Public Administration / MPA

Socio-spatial change in the post-apartheid city of Tshwane metropolitan muncipality, South Africa

Hamann, Christian 09 1900 (has links)
The premise of the research concerns negative spatial legacies and questions doubting the existence of the true post-apartheid city in South Africa. The study describes the socio-spatial structure of the functional urban core of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM). An empirical analysis, a unique segregation-desegregation classification, a relative socio-economic classification and three continuity-discontinuity hypotheses was used to compare past and present socio-spatial characteristics. Structural racial-residential segregation is evident along with high levels of socio-economic inequality. Spatial polarisation of societal attributes has created a clear north-west and south-east divide in the study area. The study area is described as one with a central-south citadel (inhabited by the wealthy) and a dynamic periphery (diverse but relatively deprived). Current socio-spatial characteristics can be attributed to strong spatial legacies, ineffective policy interventions and underlying socio-spatial influences that inhibit true inclusivity and equality in the study area. / Geography / M.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Maria do Carmo Godinho Delgado.pdf: 4655002 bytes, checksum: 029fe686425dddc137b3b86772364fdd (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-10-10 / The present study focuses on the creation of governmental mechanisms, arisen in Brazil as of the 1980s, designed to guide government intervention in women-related policies. It analyzes the proposal, drafted by Workers Party feminist militants, of a government body for elaboration, formulation and policy-executing, in conjunction with other government areas, so as to propel the implementation of government political action from a feminist perspective. It places the drafting of the proposal within the framework of the emergence of women as a new political and social actor in the country, who organized a strong movement in the late years of the dictatorship and pointed to the need for building specific instruments to influence State action; hence, the creation of the councils on the status of women, as mediating bodies between the women s movement and the State; a model distinct from that advocated by other Workers Party feminists. Considering the critique presented by the Workers Party feminists regarding the ambiguity present in the concept underlying the councils on the status of women, the thesis analyzes the implementation of the Workers Party proposal at the two moments during which the party took over the local government of the city of São Paulo (1989-1992 and 2001-2004), with the creation of the Women s Special Coordination (Coordenadoria Especial da Mulher). It points out constraints to the proposal s assimilation by the party and the potentialities of feminist action within the administration, boosted by a government structure designed to that end. It confirms that the hierarchical locus in the government s organizational structure and the legitimacy and authority for this body s mandate tributaries of the weight that the nucleus of the government attributes to it are crucial for its action to be efficacious, affecting also conditions available for performing the task. It argues that the women s movement is a central actor in pushing for changes in State action, albeit not sufficient. The presence of a feminist core inside political parties is decisive for the State to adopt policies in favor of women, given that parties are the central agents in forming governments. It also indicates that the political and economic context and the strategic choices made by the women s movement strongly influence the likelihood of the State including women policies in its agenda. It considers that State action is still guided by a limited concept of women s citizenship, which ascribes to them the priority responsibility for social reproduction, founded on the dichotomy between public and private. It draws on elaborations on social relations of sex and on the sexual division of labour as theoretical instruments that would better explain the dynamic of inequality between women and men, to the detriment of the form whereby the concept of gender was overwhelmingly incorporated in Brazil / Este trabalho aborda a criação de mecanismos governamentais voltados à intervenção do poder público em políticas para mulheres, surgidos no Brasil a partir da década de 1980.

Insere o surgimento da proposta no contexto de emergência das mulheres como um novo sujeito político e social no país que, organizando um expressivo movimento nos anos finais da ditadura, apontaram a necessidade de construir instrumentos específicos para incidir sobre a ação do Estado; sendo, então, criados os conselhos da mulher, que se caracterizaram como organismos de mediação entre o movimento de mulheres e o Estado; modelo distinto do defendido por feministas petistas. Considerando a crítica apresentada pelas petistas à ambigüidade presente na concepção de conselhos da mulher, a tese analisa a implementação da proposta petista, nos dois momentos em que o partido assumiu a prefeitura de São Paulo (1989-1992 e 2001-2004), com a criação da Coordenadoria Especial da Mulher, apontando limites da assimilação da proposta pelo partido e as potencialidades de uma ação feminista no interior da administração, impulsionada por uma estrutura de governo voltada a este fim. Confirma que o lugar hierárquico na estrutura organizacional do governo e a legitimidade e autoridade para a atuação deste organismo tributárias do peso que o núcleo de governo atribui ao projeto são definitivos para que sua ação seja eficaz; incidindo, também, sobre as condições disponíveis para o desempenho do trabalho. Argumenta que o movimento de mulheres é ator central para pressionar por mudanças na ação do Estado, mas não suficiente. A presença de um pólo feminista no interior dos partidos políticos é decisiva para que o Estado adote políticas em favor das mulheres, uma vez que são os partidos os agentes centrais na formação dos governos. Aponta, ainda, que a conjuntura e as opções estratégicas desenvolvidas pelo movimento de mulheres têm forte influência nas possibilidades de que o Estado inclua em sua agenda políticas para as mulheres. Considera que a ação do Estado ainda é pautada por uma concepção limitada da cidadania das mulheres, que atribui a elas a responsabilidade prioritária com a reprodução social, fundada na dicotomia entre público e privado. Apóia-se na elaboração sobre as relações sociais de sexo e na divisão sexual do trabalho como instrumentos teóricos que melhor explicam a dinâmica da desigualdade entre mulheres e homens, em detrimento da forma como o conceito de gênero foi majoritariamente incorporado no Brasil

民營化對象與執行策略選擇關係之研究--以台北市政府為例 / The Research of Relationship between Privatization Objects and Executive Strategies -The Case Study of Taipei Municipal Government

莊美珠, Chuang, Mei-Ju Unknown Date (has links)
民營化政策的發展,是近十幾年來經濟自由化理念下的一個鮮明趨勢,亦是各國公部門改革運動的有力工具。在財政負擔及經濟發展的壓力下,各國政府皆審思其定位無法事必躬親,故轉為尋求「小而能」、「小而美」的政策導航角色,企圖引進市場機制來降低成本並增進生產力,以提供良好的營運品質及便利的服務。 但衡諸國外先進國家公營事業民營化之經驗,民營化的方式大致分為三類: 一、最狹義的民營化:所有權移轉,如出售或移轉官股或公產; 二、狹義的民營化:經營權移轉,如公營事業部分或全部委由民間經營或代理。 三、廣義的民營化:修改立法開放市場,迫使公營事業在市場機制的競爭壓力下,調整經營體制採取企業經營原則。 公營事業對於我國經濟發展初期,確實背負政策性任務、具有國家經濟發展的正面意義,但因國內外經濟環境急遽變化、產業技術日新月異,商機瞬息萬變,公營事業受限於法令束縛,經營逐漸僵化,經營的困境與劣勢逐一浮現,所以在國際化、自由化的趨勢下,為了提升國家競爭力、維持經濟長期發展,政府必須營造公平、開放及競爭的市場環境,讓企業的活力與效率能儘量發揮,以有效提升整個社會資源運用的效率,創造全民最大的利益,所以公營事業的民營化是刻不容緩的工作。 但檢視我國行政院自七十八年七月成立跨部會的「公營事業民營化推動專案小組」,負責修訂民營化相關法令,審議民營化執行方案,並將二十二家公營事業列為第一波移轉民營的對象,依「公營事業移轉民營條例」及施行細則的規定,民營化執行策略僅限於「股權釋出」及「資產出售」,但因法規規定未盡周延、釋股方式及員工權益保障等因素引起爭議,使此階段民營化的推動過程並不順利,多項計畫亦未能依原訂期程執行。 在民國八十五年十二月底召開的「國家發展會議」之「經濟發展」議題中提出「加速公營事業民營化」的子題,重新對民營化政策作一檢討,除了課以執行單位五年內完成民營化的責任與壓力外,另擴大民營化範圍與執行方式,除了「股權釋出」及「資產出售」之所有權移轉外,另增列了委託經營或租賃等經營權移轉的方式,俾能更有效的引進民間企業精神,以提升公部門的經營效率。 另外,政府積極進行加入世界貿易組織與建立臺灣成為亞太營運中心工作,此二項重要經濟政策的共同精神都在強調自由化與國際化,由減少政府管制,擴大民間參與,讓市場機能得以發揮。同時行政院在八十七年元月提出「政府再造綱領」,希望引進企業管理精神,建立創新、彈性、有應變能力的政府,以提升國家競爭力。其中「法制再造推動計畫」就以公營事業民營化、獎勵民間參與公共建設及政府業委託民間辦理,並檢討修正或廢止各項不當限制市場競爭及不便民的業務法令等項目,以作為調整政府角色的重點工作。 台北市政府推動所有權移轉的民營化政策,係依「國家發展會議」的決議及行政院「公營事業民營化推動專案小組」第十次會議決議,決定台北銀行及台北市政府印刷所民營化。而台北市政府對於委託民間經營因部分不涉及所有權的變化,市府各局處在不涉及公權力、及例行性的業務大都已採行民營化,而近年新成立的市立萬芳醫院及市立兒童交通博物館採取全部業務皆以委託民間辦理的情形。以上民營化的推動,對於公部門組織的運作不啻是一大挑戰,相關的推動法令、配套措施、員工權益補償的保障、移撥安置的作業,在在都須要執行專案小組、執行機關與民營化對象的相互配合、溝通,以使民營化政策能順利的推動。 大體而言,本文研究的主要理念,即想結合公營事業民營化政策的理論與實務,探討如何因應經營體質及性質的差異,公部門對於標的對象所採用的執行策略該如何抉擇、篩選;同時,標的對象的選定及其支持與配合是民營化推動順利與否的重要關鍵因素之一。政府部門不能過度簡化民營化問題,將所有不同經營性質的公營事業皆以相同的執行策略來完成,同時政府部門亦不應以相同單一法規-「公營事業移轉民營條例」及施行細則,套用在各種不同制度之公營事業對象的員工。在理論基礎與實務狀況的了解釐清後,綜合文獻探討、個案研究及訪談資料等研究結果評析台北市政府及中央的民營化政策執行策略與對象選擇的關係,並提出建議,以供未來推動民營化政策的參考。 民營化對象與執行策略選擇關係之研究-以台北市政府為例 目 錄 第一章:緒論 第一節:研究動機與目的 第二節:研究範圍與架構 第三節:研究方法與途徑 第四節:研究流程與限制 第五節、章節安排 第二章:民營化理論探討 第一節:公營事業的性質及潛在危機 第二節:民營化理論 第三節:民營化對象分析 第四節:民營化執行策略及選擇機制 第五節、民營化文獻的回顧與檢討 小結 第三章:我國推動公營事業民營化現況 第一節:公營事業民營化政策的演進 第二節:我國民營化政策推動組織、程序及執行策略 第三節:我國推行民營化相關法令及措施 第四節:我國民營化問題的解決-建構公私部門合作策略 小結 第四章:個案探討-台北市政府推動民營化案例 第一節:台北市政府推動民營化政策之現況與法令依據 第二節:台北市政府撤資型民營化個案分析 壹、股權釋出-台北銀行 貳、資產出售-台北市政府印刷所 第三節:台北市政府委託民間經營案例及概況 壹、 台北市政府市有財產委託經營之法令依據 貳、 台北市政府市有財產委託經營之概況 參、 台北市政府市有財產委託經營之方式 第四節:台北市政府委託型民營化個案分析 壹、 台北市立萬芳醫院 貳、 台北市立兒童交通博物館 第五節:台北市政府民營化個案優缺點比較分析 第六節:改進台北市政府民營化政策推行之建議 小結 第五章:結論與建議 第一節:結論 第二節:建議 參考書目 附錄一:台北市政府推動民營化相關法規 附錄二:訪談資料
