Document: eThekwini Metro: IDP 2006 - 2011

We are proud to announce that our IDP remains the strategic driver of both our budget and our performance management system. In this way, our strategy drives real development on the ground, and civil society can measure us against targets that are based on strategic IDP programmes.

We look forward to engaging with communities on our IDP in a far more strategic and meaningful way. We hope that, henceforth, our community based planning process becomes the vehicle for participation in the IDP, in order to maximise co-ordination and synergy between the two processes.

In addition, we wish to increase the number and depth of our sectoral engagement (for example, with usiness, aged, youth, womenís organisations, differently-abled organisations).
