Book Synopsis The Perceived Impact of Integrated Development Planning (IDP) on the Social and Economic Development of Local Communities of Magareng Local Municipality, Northern Cape Province by : Tshidi Gershwin Gideon Masilo
Download or read book The Perceived Impact of Integrated Development Planning (IDP) on the Social and Economic Development of Local Communities of Magareng Local Municipality, Northern Cape Province written by Tshidi Gershwin Gideon Masilo and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first democratic elections in 1994 has resulted in the government beginning a fundamental transformation process in all three spheres of government to give effect to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, and to address numerous developmental challenges that local government faced. The municipalities are responsible for the provision of services to the communities in a sustainable and accountable manner, as well as to promote the social and economic development of their communities. Therefore, a municipality must structure and manage its administration as well as its planning and budgetary processes to give priority to the basic needs of the community, to promote the social and economic development of the community, as well as to participate in national and provincial development programmes. The main purpose of an Integrated Development Plan (IDP) of a municipality is to enhance the level of service delivery, to promote sustainability and to address poverty through an integrated and aligned approach among role players and stakeholders within the municipalities’ jurisdiction. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the perceived impact of the IDP on the social and economic development circumstances of the communities within the Magareng Local Municipality of the Northern Cape Province. For the realisation of the aim and the objectives of this study a qualitative research methodology was adopted. The literature study was based on the requirements of a qualitative study, which includes extensive literature, legislation, policy documents journal articles, books, conference papers, internet and government reports about, developmental local government, IDP and LED in the context of South African local government. An empirical study was also administered. A semi-structured questionnaire was utilized to elicit information from selected ward councilors of the Magareng Local Municipality regarding the perceived impact of IDP on the social and economic development of communities of Magareng Local Municipality of Northern Cape Province. Except for the above, a semi-structured interview schedule was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with selected municipal officials responsible for IDP and LED of Magareng Local Municipality. It was found during the literature review that although the IDP is an important strategic tool to address the socio-economic backlogs and development challenges of municipalities, more still needs to be done in order to ensure that the medium-term and long-term priorities are effectively implemented to promote effective service delivery and socio-economic conditions of communities in the Magareng Local Municipality. From the findings of the semi-structured questionnaire it was found that the majority of the ward committee members were of the opinion that the social development needs of the local communities of Magareng Local Municipality were not adequately addressed by the municipality. From the findings of the semi-structured interviews the majority of the municipal officials were of the opinion that the municipality was unsuccessful in its role to promote developmental local government with the aim to improve the social and economic circumstances of local communities. It was recommended that the Magareng Local Municipality should focus more on ward-based social and economic developmental needs and priorities in its IDP, such as poverty alleviation, job creation, youth development and local economic growth related LED projects and programmes. This could be done by attracting investments from business partners and other stakeholders. The vigorous implementation and execution of IDP and LED related projects and programmes need to be at the forefront of all social and economic development initiatives. It is recommended that the provincial government and sector departments provide support, guidance and sufficient funds to ensure that Magareng Local Municipality will be able to implement its IDP and LED related projects and programmes effectively. This will assist the municipality to complete and reduce the turnaround time of IDP and LED related projects and programmes to promote the social and economic development of local communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book & CD. In a developmental state like South Africa, municipalities have the specific responsibility of generating growth and development in their areas of jurisdiction. Through consultative processes, municipal goals and functioning are in the public domain. As co-creator of the future of local communities, municipalities must master the totality of local governance. To do this, current and prospective municipal managers need to understand, for example: the role and functions of municipalities in South Africa; the constitutional dispensation as it affects municipalities; the strategic orientation of municipalities within the global and national contexts; the capacities and resources available; best practices as far as management processes, procedures and methods are concerned. The book explores the multifaceted nature of municipal management in South Africa and focuses the readers attention on selected key strategic issues such as: local economic development; local democracy; disaster risk reduction.
Book Synopsis Integrated Development Planning by : Tembisa Khomo
Download or read book Integrated Development Planning written by Tembisa Khomo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa is characterised by inequitable growth and development, a high degree of poverty and the challenge of integration. The need for improved standards of living and access to better infrastructure which are seen as crucial issues in addressing poverty have necessitated the introduction of Integrated Development Planning (IDP). The IDP looks at the economic and social development of the area as a whole. It aims to coordinate the work of the local government in a coherent plan to improve the quality of life for all the people living in the community. In view of that, there is a need for proper planning and implementation of projects, as well as monitoring and assessment of success on the part of local government in order to help to eliminate poverty. In this book I investigated the implementation of IDP as a mechanism to alleviate poverty in Port Elizabeth in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality (NMBMM). As the implementation of IDP in NMBMM appears to have formidable challenges and the extensive nature of the geographical area of Port Elizabeth, the research study focused exclusively on Motherwell and KwaZakhele.

Book Synopsis Developmental Local Governance by : Eris D. Schoburgh
Download or read book Developmental Local Governance written by Eris D. Schoburgh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this edited collection is to evaluate critically the relationship between local government and national economic development. It focuses on how the relationship between local government and development is structured, and the specific institutional arrangements at national and subnational levels that might facilitate local government's assumption of the role of development agent. In light of the contradictory outcomes of development and implied experimentation with new modalities, post-development discourse provides a useful explanatory framework for the book. Schoburgh, Martin and Gatchair's central argument is that the pursuit of national developmental goals is given a sustainable foundation when development planning and strategies take into account elements that have the potential to determine the rate of social transformation. Their emphasis on localism establishes a clear link between local government and local economic development in the context of developing countries.

Book Synopsis Non-Motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa by : Winnie V. Mitullah
Download or read book Non-Motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa written by Winnie V. Mitullah and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What challenges do pedestrians and cyclists face in cities of the developing world? What opportunities do these cities have to provide for walking and cycling? Based on in-depth research conducted in Cape Town (South Africa), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Nairobi (Kenya), this book explores these questions by presenting work on walking and cycling travel behaviour, the status of road safety in these cities, as well as an analysis of the infrastructure for walking and cycling, and the workings of the institutions responsible for planning for these modes. The book also presents case studies relating to particular opportunities and challenges, such as the development and evaluation of ‘walking bus’ interventions, and the opportunities micro-simulation of pedestrian interventions offers within a data-scarce environment. Non-motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa demonstrates that transport and urban planning remains situated in a logic of automobile-dependent transport planning and global city development. This logic of practice does not pay adequate attention to walking and cycling. It argues that a significant shift in both policy as well as political commitment is needed so as to prioritize walking and cycling as strategies for sustainable transport policy in urban Africa. This book will be a key text for practitioners and policy makers working in planning, transport policy and urban development in Africa, as well as students and scholars of African studies, development studies, urban geography, transport studies and sustainable development.
Book Synopsis Land, Memory, Reconstruction, and Justice by : Cherryl Walker
Download or read book Land, Memory, Reconstruction, and Justice written by Cherryl Walker and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land is a significant and controversial topic in South Africa. Addressing the land claims of those dispossessed in the past has proved to be a demanding, multidimensional process. In many respects the land restitution program that was launched as part of the county’s transition to democracy in 1994 has failed to meet expectations, with ordinary citizens, policymakers, and analysts questioning not only its progress but also its outcomes and parameters. Land, Memory, Reconstruction, and Justice brings together a wealth of topical material and case studies by leading experts in the field who present a rich mix of perspectives from politics, sociology, geography, social anthropology, law, history, and agricultural economics. The collection addresses both the material and the symbolic dimensions of land claims, in rural and urban contexts, and explores the complex intersection of issues confronting the restitution program, from the promotion of livelihoods to questions of rights, identity, and transitional justice. A valuable contribution to the field of land and agrarian studies, both in South Africa and internationally, it is undoubtedly the most comprehensive treatment to date of South Africa’s postapartheid land claims process and will be essential reading for scholars and students of land reform for years to come.

Book Synopsis Governance in the New South Africa by : Guy C. Z. Mhone
Download or read book Governance in the New South Africa written by Guy C. Z. Mhone and published by Juta and Company Ltd. This book was released on 2003 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major challenges confronting South Africa since the advent of non-racial multiparty democracy have been the need to promote democratic governance, economic growth, global competitiveness, and to improve the standard of living of its people, especially the previously disadvantaged majority Black population. These challenges have coincided with the ascendancy of globalisation with its attendant social, economic and political imperatives, all of which have consequences for governance and development at the national level, not least in emerging economies like South Africa. This important book assesses the implications of global imperatives for the nature, capacity, character and scope of democratic governance and the pursuit of equitable development in the new South Africa. A major conclusion is that the implementation of domestic economic reforms predicated on market fundamentalism, with its dominant logic and paradigm of globalisation and economic management, is incompatible and irreconcilable with the quest for democratic governance and equitable development. The contributors contend that such an approach reproduces a substantively undemocratic and inequitable society. "Governance in the New South Africa" concludes by offering some considerations related to how substantive democracy and equitable development may be promoted in South Africa on the basis of democratic governance and developmentalism.
