which will guide it for five years. This means that the integrated development plan is linked to the term of office ofthe elected counciL The newly elected council can adopt the lOP of its predecessor or develop a new IDP. The form and content of an lOP document is largely subject to the discretion ofthe municipality, with the exception ofcontents prescribed by the MSA (Department ofProvincial and Local Government, 2003). Integrated development planning is a process through which a municipality prepares a strategic development plan. It draws together all the development objectives of a municipality including LED, and formulates strategies to realise those objectives in an integrated manner. This means that everyone is working towards the same goal. The lOP is a comprehensive plan for the development of the local area. It includes a long-term vision, an assessment of the existing level of social and economic development, the setting of development priorities and objectives, spatial framework and land development objectives, operational strategies, municipal budgeting and other resource allocation [www.ecprov.gov.za/dhlgta/idp.s. (2008)]. By drawing together the development objectives, priorities, strategies and budgets in this way, the IDP helps to ensure coordination between LED and the other initiatives of government. The IDP is now the basic unit of planning for government as a whole at the municipal sphere. Davids et aI.., (2005) asserted that the IDP allows a municipality or community to focus itself and to develop a future-oriented vision, proactively positioning itself and adapting and learning from a changing environment by managing a continuous SWOT analysis. Flowing from the lOP, a municipality/community is able to conduct an organisational audit and construct an institutional plan. On the basis ofthe on-going SWOT analysis, the municipality can come to an understanding of its internal dynamics, and leams to manage change and visualise its future. A mergmg of the externalities with the intemalities results in an assessment of the organisation's opportunities. This merging is frequently called SWOT analysis because it brings together the organisation's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in order to identifY a strategic niche that the organisation can exploit. In the light of the SWOT analysis and identification of the organisation's opportunities. management re-evaluates its mission 57
and objectives. Are they realistic? Do they need modification? Ifchanges are needed in the organisation' overall direction, this is where they are likely to originate. On the other hand, if no changes are necessary, management is ready to begin the actual fonnulation of strategies (Robbins, 2001; www.swot-analysis.com.2oo8). This research considers that the exercise ofSWOT analysis ofthe Ulundi local municipality is fundamental to the determination ofan appropriate developmental strategy to turn around the economy ofthe study area This approach is informed by the existing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in Ulundi. On the basis of this analysis, the local economic development strategy adopted will be relevant in responding to the array ofneeds documented in the \DP process in the study area. The LED regeneration study fonns part ofthe \DP. The LED tool kit should be used from the preliminary steps ofthe lOP, which include (Local Economic Development, 2001): • An assessment ofthe current situation in the municipal area • An assessment ofthe needs ofthe community. • The prioritisation ofthe needs and setting ofgoals to meet those needs. The \DP process is the single, inclusive planning process within which other processes must be located. LED must be fully integrated within the \DP. Indeed, if a municipality is responding to local development problems, it needs to establish a clear vision and objectives to tackle these issues. The entire working of the municipality will need to become more integrated and more focused on developmental outcomes. 3.2.2.3 The IDP process The first step in the planning process is the drawing up of an \DP process plan. This will ensure proper management of the planning process and requires close coordination between those responsible for \DP, and those responsible for the LED in a municipality. The district council in consultation with its local municipalities must adopt a framework for integrated development planning (Local Economic Development, 200 I): • To detennine procedures for coordination, consultation and alignment between the district and the local municipaEties and therefore bind them together. 58
