The objective of the PCF is to promote and facilitate intergovernmental relations and cooperative government between provincial government and municipalities to ensure integrated, effective and efficient service delivery.

What is the PCF?

The PCF is the primary consultative forum for the Premier of the Western Cape and municipalities within the province to discuss and consult on matters of mutual interest. Existing provincial and municipal IGR engagements and national IGR engagements feed into the PCF and vice versa. The PCF consists of the PCF plenary and PCF cluster sessions. i.e. Social, Economic and Governance and administration. Resolutions or referrals from the cluster sessions feed into the PCF Plenary session for final resolution and adoption.

Who is involved?

The plenary session of the PCF is composed of the Premier (the chair) and all MEC’s, the Director-General and Head of Departments, Mayors and Municipal Managers of all 30 municipalities (including Metro). The composition of the PCF cluster session is similar to the PCF plenary except that Premier is not part of the cluster sessions and the sessions are chaired by relevant MEC’s and co-chaired by the host district mayor.

Where and when?

The PCF is to be held no less than four times a year and in different district municipalities in the Western Cape on a rotational basis. The dates for each PCF will be identified at strategic moment to influence the planning and budgeting cycle of both provincial and local spheres of government.
