Lot 14 Great Eastern Hwy, West Kalgoorlie, WA, 6430 Community perceptions on the integrated development plan as an effective delivery tool in Phokwane Municipality, Northern Cape
English: According to Gueli, Liebenberg and van Huyssteen (2007: 89) the South Africa transition during the 1990s was marked by unrivalled levels of political and social reconciliation. During this critical time, government institutions were quickly transformed to promote development and democracy. The South African Constitution of 1996 is internationally known for the provision of unusually extensive guarantees of economic and social rights and the delivery of public services. (The Constitution also provides a framework for the functioning of the public service and the responsibilities of the executive in relation to management of the public finances that is critical for public service delivery. (AfriMAP and Open Society Foundation for South Africa 2007:5, 6).) Local government authorities are challenged to develop programmes and provide services to address the needs of people with different experiences and status. The general assumption is that the local government sphere is the best place to address the needs of local communities. (Mathye 2002:01)The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) was introduced in order to enhance and encourage the good working relationship of different stakeholders and promote integrated planning amongst the stakeholders and service providers. This study investigates the perceptions of the community on the Integrated Development Plan (IDP)as an effective delivery tool. Phokwane Local Municipality, one of the four municipalities that fall within Frances Baard District Municipality, was selected as the study area for this research. The study of community perceptions was conducted through questionnaires and interviews of relevant stakeholders. The study found that the Municipality only communicates with the community during the IDP meetings. It also discovered that majority of respondents (i.e the community) do not know and understand the purpose of or even the IDP processes. This might be due to the low literacy level.
Afrikaans: Volgens Gueli, Liebenberg en van Huyssteen (2007: 89) was die Suid-Afrikaanse oorgangstydperk gedurende die 1990's gekenmerk deur ongeëwenaarde vlakke van politieke en sosiale versoening. Gedurende hierdie kritieke tydperk het regeringsinstansies vinnig getransformeer om ontwikkeling en demokrasie te bevorder. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Grondwet van 1996 was wêreldwyd bekend vir die ongewone en omvattende waarborge ten opsigte van ekonomiese en sosiale regte, asook vir die lewering van openbare dienste. (Die Grondwet het ook voorsiening gemaak vir 'n raamwerk waarin die funksionering van die openbare sektor en die verantwoordelikhede van die uitvoerende gesag met betrekking tot openbare finansies vervat is, wat krities belangrik is vir openbare dienslewering. (AfriMAP and Open Society Foundation for South Africa 2007: 5,6) Plaaslike owerhede het gevolglik voor die uitdaging te staan gekom om programme te voorsien om aan die behoeftes van gemeenskappe te voldoen wat verskil het van ervaring, status en ontwikkeling. Die algemene opvatting was dat plaaslike owerhede die beste platform is om die behoeftes van gemeenskappe aan te spreek. (Mathye 2002: 01) Vervolgens is die Geïntegreerde Ontwikkelingsplan (GOP) bekendgestelom gesonde werksverhoudinge tussen die onderskeie rolspelers aan te moedig en om geïntegreerde beplanning tussen rolspelers en diensverskaffers te bewerkstellig. Hierdie studie ondersoek die beskouïngs van gemeenskappe rakende die Geïtegreerde Ontwikkelingsplan (GOP) as 'n doeltreffende dienslewerings hulpmiddel. Die Phokwane Plaaslike Munisipaliteit, een van die vier plaaslike munisipalitieite in die Frances Baard Distriksmunisipaliteit, is gekies as studie model vir hierdie ondersoek. Die ondersoek na gemeenskapsbeskouïngs is deur middel van vraelyste en gesprekvoering gedoen onder al die betrokke rolspelers in die gebied. Die ondersoek het aan die lig gebring dat die plaaslike munisipaliteit met die gemeenskappe kommunikeer, slegs tydens GOP vergaderings. Dit het ook verder aan die lig gekom dat die groot meerderheid van die respondante (gemeenskapslede) nie die doelof prosesse van geïntegreerde beplanning verstaan nie. Dit kan egter ook toegeskryf word aan die lae vlakke van geletterdheid onder 'n groot deel van die gemeenskap.
