We are proud to announce that the IDP remains our strategic document and is the key driver of our performance management and budgeting systems within the Municipality. Through a process of reassessing National and Provincial priorities we have once again refined and refocused our strategic programmes so as to effectively respond to key challenges faced by the Municipality. The six key strategic priorities for Matatiele are: Reduction of Service Delivery Backlogs Local Economic Development, and Rural Development, Employment Creation through the Expanded Public Works Programmes (EPWP) and Community Work Programme (CWP) Proper Spatial Development Planning through the SDF and localized SDF’s for the Nodal Areas of Maluti, Cedarville and Matatiele Sound Financial Management Good Governance, Enhancement of Public Participation, IGR and Protocol Institutional Arrangements and Developments Therefore this IDP becomes essential towards the achievement of these strategic priorities. Active public participation by all stakeholders (Communities, Workers, Business Community, various interested groups, sector departments together with Traditional Leaders is pivotal towards strengthening of the Local Government Development Agenda. The participation and involvement of Designated Groups (Youth, People living with Disabilities, People living with HIV and AIDS) is also encouraged as this will ensure a robust debate that will positively influence future planning processes for Matatiele Local Municipality. The IDP is also in line with Outcome 9 and Vision 2030 of the National Development Plan (NDP). ___________________ CLLR.
