It seeks to guide both its residents and staff and to clearly set out the strategic direction of the council and how it will allocate its limited resources. INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS (IGR) Local Government is also entitled to an equitable share of national revenue, including transfers to allow people to receive a minimum basket of free basic services such as water and electricity. In addition, there are capital transfers made to local government for example, via the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG). The equitable share is unconditional: provinces and local government can spend it as they need, within national guidelines, plans and priorities, while the conditional grants require specific monitoring provisions, specifications relating to the purpose for which the grants are to be used and timelines for implementation. The Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 spells out the necessary interaction between the three spheres and the need for assistance and capacity-building. It regulates the timing of intergovernmental grants to assist municipalities in preparing multi-year budgeting. THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLANNING PROCESS The IDP process is a good example of IGR in practice, because the IDP is a government-wide expression of development commitments aligned to a number of national and regional objectives. A local IDP is a strategic planning tool. A credible IDP requires skills and capacity. The ability to manage its implementation intergovernmentally is a mutual challenge across all spheres. This is the core of the challenge of co-operative governance and finds strategic expression in the work of the IGR Forums. INTER GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS AND STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIPS Intergovernmental relations promote relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, through multi-sphere dialogue. This includes liaison with local government, provinces, sector departments and other state and non-state actors to promote service delivery, economic growth and social upliftment. For example, the IDP focuses on development outcomes and a particular geographical space. These outcomes must be socio-economically and environmentally sustainable, and also be supported by appropriate institutional arrangements. Forceful partnerships and Integrated Development Plan 2007/8 – 2011/12 Page 4 networks of organisations in a district or regional space economy will also support and maximise its development potential. ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIPS Creating strong stakeholder partnerships with the private sector can facilitate growth and investment opportunities. Such partnerships are vested in mutual interests, so a common understanding of the space economy between stakeholders is essential. A credible IDP must reflect economic development choices that are based on joint and strategic analysis of the National Spatial Development Plan (NSDP), the Local Economic Development (LED) Plan, the Spatial Development Framework (SDF), the Land Use Management Plan and the broader economic growth objectives of government as reflected in the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative of South Africa (ASGISA) and Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) policies. Om enige munisipaliteit te laat werk is dit noodsaaklik dat daar so wyd as moontlik met alle rolspelers geskakel moet word deur wykskomitees, organisasies en belangegroepe sodat die werklike behoeftes van ons mense bepaal kan word. Die diversiteit van ons gemeenskap en die kwesbaarheid en bewaring van ons natuurlike hulpbronne, tesame met ‘n helder en duidelike visie wat deur sterk leierskap en effektiewe bestuur onderskraag word, moet die basis wees van die strategie om die toekoms binne te gaan. My opregte dank aan al die Raadslede, wykskomitees, belangegroepe en individue vir hulle insette in die GOP wat ter tafel gele word. Besondere dank aan Me Desiree Arrison vir haar entoesiasme waarmee sy werk, asook aan al die personeel vir hulle harde werk I trust that this IDP will
