The Department of Local Government is hosting Integrated Development Planning (IDP) from 06
10 February 2023. The engagement sessions will take place in five District Municipalities: Garden
Route, Cape Winelands, Overberg, West Coast and Central Karoo, in conjunction with Joint District
Metro Approach (JDMA) Interface Team Leader foreach District.
The Western Cape Government (WCG) has endorsed JDMA to strengthen collaboration across the three spheres of government through co-planning, co-budgeting, and co-implementation in co-ordinating resources to address district wide priorities. Whist the JDMA has been institutionalised through JDMA Interface Teams across the five districts which have been developed and are implementing respective JDMA Implementation Plans, there is however a need for individual local municipalities to directly engage with the sector departments on planned programmes and projects within respective municipalities.
To better coordinate these engagements for all Western Cape municipalities, the Department of Local Government has resolved to re-introduce the former IDP Indaba sessions which previously afforded municipalities the opportunity to directly engage WCG departments in preparation for their annual review and/or amendment of IDPs.
The Integrated Planning Engagement’s main objectives are as follows:
The Integrated Planning Engagements will take the form of individual municipalities engaging with the WCG departments (and where possible, national departments with a footprint within the Western Cape), in a central venue per district. Each engagement will be divided into two breakaway clusters (social and infrastructure development) over two to three sessions depending on the number of municipalities in a district – refer to the attached draft programme.
