Final Adopted IDP - KZN Development Planning

SERVICE DELIVERY PLAN
The development of service delivery plans by municipalities within the Province of
KwaZulu-Natal is an initiative of the Office of the Premier designed to foster and
enhance cooperation between sector departments and the third tier of government
within the Province. In the past sector departments have indicated a willingness to
participate in development programmes undertaken by municipalities but indicated that
the needs and priorities to be addressed have not been clearly spelt out in municipal
integrated development plans. It is the intention of this initiative to drive a number of
special projects in each municipality which, when completed, will have contributed
significantly to the development processes in those municipalities and assisted in
addressing the challenges of poverty, inequity and unemployment. The service delivery
plans of each municipality are also required to be aligned with the KZN Growth and
Development Strategy, Corridor Development and other strategies driven at a national
and provincial level. Compilation and delivery of the Service Delivery Plan for the Ulundi
Municipality, in total or in part, during the 2012 / 2013 financial year will make a positive
contribution to the priorities identified by the Municipality in this IDP Review document.
