(Part D) Service Delivery Profile5. Service Delivery Profile and the ClustersThis section provides an analysis of the service delivery profile of IYLM with specific reference to thebacklogs facing the municipality. The National government has set out the National target for eradicationof service delivery backlogs. These targets are aligned to Millennium development goals (MDG’s) andoutcomes approach targets, hence a consistent effort should be made to achieving the targets. Access tosocial and economic services enables people to participate more meaningfully in their economy.5.1 Cluster Model integration and coordinationThe municipality has resolved to make use of the cluster approach to the implement and facilitate theIntegrated Development Plan, through the utilisation of the following clusters; (1) Technical ServiceCluster, (2) Social Needs Cluster, (3) Economic Development Cluster and (4) Finance, Governance andAdministration Cluster. The latter cluster cuts across all other clusters thus ensuring the effective andefficient operation over the cluster system. It is recommended that all these clusters have a programme ofaction which culminates into the Performance Score Card and SDBIP. Cluster system can allow moreinvolvement of (s57 Managers), Portfolio Committee Members of the municipality who are responsible forthe availability of quality and relevance of information provided under their respective Key PerformanceAreas in the IDP. Consequently the cluster system allows the (s57 Managers) to prioritise the support tothe IDP and increase efforts towards improving the quality of information and input to the IDP regardingtheir KPAs. It is through the improvement on individual KPAs that the quality of IDPs will improve andenhanced by the same commitment from Council Portfolio Committees. Such commitment should bepresent throughout the duration of the IDP-Cycle since the ultimate quality of forward planning (IDP) isbest informed by the situational analysis which is the mirror of the municipality in as far as its existingconditions is concerned.The cluster approach in this regard deals with the following issues:Table 20: Cluster approachTechnicalService ClusterSocial NeedsClusterFinance, Governance& Admin ClusterEconomic Developmentand Planning ClusterInfrastructurePlanning &DevelopmentSenior ManagerCommunity ServiceSenior ManagerMunicipal ManagerEconomic Development &Planning Senior Manger Water supplyprovision Sanitationservice provision Electricity Street lighting Roads andStorm Water LandAdministrationand Housing Municipal PublicEducation (earlychildhood &adultlearningprogrammes)Municipal Health(Health) &Hygienepromotion)SpecialProgrammes(including Aids,Disabled, Youth FunctionalAdministration/Administrationoversight IntergovernmentalRelations Policies & By laws PublicParticipation Support to Councilpoliticalleadership and Local EconomicDevelopment(Agriculture, Forestry,Tourism, SMME’s) Poverty alleviation Markets Street trading Local Tourism EnvironmentalManagement Municipal planning (IDP,SDF, PMS,SDBIP & LED)56
