Document: Central Caroo District Municipality - IDP 2006 - 2011

As one of the smallest District Municipalities in the country, Central Karoo is facing a wide range of challenges with finance being the greatest. We however have a task to fulfill and are therefore committed to serving our people and accepting the challenge of making the Central Karoo one of the leading Districts in compliance to our legislative mandate as well as excelling in our developmental and service delivery mandate.

 

Council adopted a new strategic approach to the new generation IDP’s which is basically an extension of the existing strategic management approach of the region through the District Co-ordinating Forum. This Intergovernmental instrument, in managing the region towards Developmental Local Government, is found to be effective in our extensive region and already contribute to a range of new cost effective tools such as the Shared Service Model developed by the Municipalities within the region.

 

The IDP for 2006 – 2011 paves the way for transparent ways of creating an effective performance framework based on strategy and output. It also lays the foundation for a monitoring system with indicators, targets and timeframes, which will create an environment for effective management and a high level of service delivery. This IDP will also enable the District to fulfill its role in the regional, provincial and national context. As a strategic plan for our region the IDP can now meaningfully drive the deepening of the consultative processes

with communities, social partners and the private sector as well as facilitate with regard to

inter-governmental relations.
