Introduction Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is the principal strategic planning instrument which guides and informs the municipality’s planning and development. It enables both leadership and management to make informed decisions towards efficient and effective service delivery (Municipal Systems Act, 2000). Section 34 of the Municipal Systems Act, No. 32 of 2000 states that, a municipal council must review its Integrated Development Plan (IDP) annually in accordance with an assessment of its performance measurements and to the extent that changing circumstances so demand, and may amend its Integrated Development Plan (IDP) in accordance with a prescribed process. Section 28 of the Municipal Systems Act, No. 32 of 2000 states that each municipal council within a prescribed period after the start of its elected term, must adopt a process set out in writing to guide the planning, drafting, adoption and review of its Integrated Development Plan (IDP). Moreover, section 21 of the Municipal Finance Management Act, No 56 of 2003 states that the mayor of a municipality must, at least 10 months before the start of the budget year, table in the municipal council a time schedule outlining key deadlines for the preparation, tabling and approval of the annual budget and the annual review of the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) as well as the budget related policies. This report presents the process that will be followed during the compilation of the 2012/13 IDP review, Budget and Performance Management. The report outlines the process’s legislative framework; organizational structures responsible for the implementation of the process plan and management of the IDP, Budget and Performance Management System processes; mechanisms, processes and procedures for community participation and the key deadlines of the activities that are leading to the approval of the IDP and Budget. It is important to note that the process, particularly the IDP process was prepared in compliance with the Ehlanzeni District Municipality Integrated Development Plan Framework Plan as required in terms of section 27 of the Municipal Systems Act, No. 32 of 2000. 2.
