It is submitted and prepared in fulfilment of the Municipality’s legal obligation in terms of Section 32 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000. In addition to the legal requirement for every Municipality to compile an Integrated Development Plan, the Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000 also requires that: the IDP be implemented; the Municipality monitors and evaluates its performance with regards to the IDP’s implementation; the IDP be reviewed annually to effect necessary changes and improvements. Section 25 of the Municipal Systems Act deals with the adoption of the IDP and states that: “Each municipal council must adopt a single, inclusive and strategic plan for the development of the municipality which – links, integrates and co-ordinates plans and takes into account proposals for the development of the municipality; aligns the resources and capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the plan; forms the policy framework and general basis on which annual budget must be based.” THE IDP PROCESS On 26 August 2011, the Amathole District Municipality adopted an IDP Framework Plan together with the IDP/Budget Process Plan. These plans were adopted in accordance with the relevant legal prescripts and have dictated the process to be followed for the development of the IDP and the Budget. The District IDP Framework served as a guide to all local municipalities falling within the Amathole area of jurisdiction, and for purposes of alignment in the preparation of their respective Process Plans. In brief, the District Framework Plan outlines the time frames of scheduled events/activities, structures involved and their respective roles and responsibilities. The IDP/Budget Process Plan outlines in detail, the way in which the ADM embarked on its IDP and Budget processes from its commencement in July 2011 to its completion in June 2012. Both these plans are attached to this document as annexure. Organizational arrangements were put in place as per the IDP/Budget Process Plan and all legislative prescripts were adhered to. Of particular note, have been the operations of structures, such as IDP/PMS/Budget Representative Forum, IDP Steering Committee, Budget Steering Committee, Intergovernmental Relations (IGR), District Mayor’s Forum (DIMAFO), and Cluster Teams. These have executed their mandates in terms of the adopted IDP/Budget Process Plan and ensured the achievements of key milestones and deliverables. Also, the establishment of the District Planning Coordinating Forum, which is a technical team that ensured district-wide IDP and Performance Management System (PMS) co- ordination and integration. The Forum is comprised of the District and Local Municipalities IDP and PMS Managers, Local Municipalities Technical Cluster Champs, IDP and PMS officials from the Eastern Cape Department of Local Government & Traditional Affairs, representatives from the Office of the Premier and Provincial Treasury. Further, as part of the Operations Management Strategy, the establishment of the Operations Management Strategy Management Team which is a technical team that constitutes representatives from the departments within ADM. This is the team that is responsible for integrating IDP, budget and PMS information between departments and the office of the Strategic Manager as well as alignment of departmental activities into the IDP, PMS and budget processes. In the process of developing the IDP and the Budget, a strategic planning session was held on 29 – 31 January 2012. The session was intended to facilitate provision of a framework that will guide the municipality’s five (5) year strategic direction. Furthermore, as part of the IDP process, an analysis was conducted in respect of various sector plans attached to the ADM’s IDP. Some were found to be still relevant and required minor update done in-house, others required a major review, whilst new sector plans were developed. The draft IDP and Budget for 2012-2017 was tabled and approved by Council on 23 March 2012. These documents were widely publicised for comments before being tabled before Council for adoption on 25 May 2012. Amathole District Municipality IDP 2012-2017 – Version 1 of 5 Page 7 In order to address the IDP comments from the MEC, these were forwarded to the relevant ADM IDP Cluster teams where they were discussed and used as a basis for improving the credibility of the IDP. Strict compliance with Regulation 3(5) has been ensured through an ongoing process of consultation between the ADM and its 7 local municipalities through the operations of the abovementioned structures as well as through the activities of the Municipal Support Unit.
