Implementation programmes provide details as to project outputs,key milestones, beneficiaries, timeframes, responsibilities, as well as resources requirements.This is to ensure that each of the programmes, projects, and activities within the IDP areallocated to a structure or an individual to lead implementation. This also requires theinvolvement of relevant national and provincial sector departments, other state agencies,non-governmental organisations operating in the area, as well as the formation of Public-Private Partnerships to fast-track implementation. The prioritisation of projects and theallocation of funding have also given preference to programmes and projects that have thepotential of achieving more than one development objective, thus maximising the potentialof addressing identified priority issues.The municipality also intends improving and strengthening its governance, co-ordination anddecision-making processes to expedite the implementation of the IDP process. Suchprocesses include supply chain and contract management, ensuring that PortfolioCommittees deliberate on issues relevant to their core business and makingrecommendations, ensuring that the EXCO and Council make the necessary approvalstimeously, as well as facilitating the establishment and functioning of sector-specificstakeholder engagement structures.
