Full textThe existence of a democratic structure within their own requirements, institutions and laws is a place for reflection not only on issues related with to the power of the popular vote, but also those out of election process at the democracy. After 1988 the Brazilian Constitution rised the people participation principle with participative budget, previewed by Complementary Law n. 101/2000. The following study focuses on collective action in the implementation phase of public policies at drafting the Annual Budget Law under the precepts of the Elinor Ostrom's theory. The author defends the need to create incentives for cooperation and joint decision-making mechanisms in the management of public resources, suggesting to the institutions the desirable characteristics called Design Principles which when present would lead to positive results of public resource management. This study is issued of the public budget in the Quatro Barras county, state of Paraná, Brazil. The general objective is to analyze the collective action to plan the public budget of the municipality following the edition of the Law of Responsibility - 2000 to 2016. In terms of the classification of the research its nature can be understood as basic. In what concerns about methodology and objective approach it is a qualitative research. Thus the main results found are that the legislation brought the possibility (obligatoriness) of popular participation in the county public budget planning. The institutional arrangement makes use of mechanisms in the attempt to contemplate the legislation doing public audiences for which it occurs the community call through notes at official newspaper of daily circulation, which mention the place, time and date in which the discussion of goals and priorities for the Annual Budget Law will occur. However, the theoretical contribution made indicates that the collective action in the Quatro Barras county is a false participation and that the absence of achievement of the registration units realize into an absence of collective action.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: It is a reality that public participation processes in local government do not yield the outcomes that reveal a fully optimised process. Communication is the lifeblood of any development initiative (Swanepoel & De Beer, 1996:1) and is one way of breaking the isolation of people. By having the ability to communicate (i.e. to reach and to be reached) people can truly have a say in matters shaping their current and future reality. The objectives of this thesis were to explore the communication short falls hindering effective participation in local government, and also to provide a practical implementation framework aimed at guiding municipalities in communication with the view to enhance public participation. This was accomplished by way of a literature study and an analysis of the West Coast District (WCD) Communication and Participation Project (2003). In Chapter 1 the thesis topic was introduced and the background to the thesis, the research problem, the design and methodology, as well as the outline of the chapters was explained. In Chapter 2 the key concepts of this thesis were discussed and included sustainable. development, public participation and communication. This selection of concepts is justified by the argument that communication supports public participation, which will in turn promote sustainable development. A description of the WCD Project (2003) findings was provided in Chapter 3, which was followed by an analyses and interpretation of the WCD Project findings in Chapter 4. During the analyses a number of observations were made. Firstly, there is a distinct relationship between communication, public participation and sustainable development. Communication facilitates information sharing which supports informed decision-making during public participation. The latter in turn is vital in establishing sustainable development. Secondly, there should be distinguished between community communication and corporate communication. Dealing with the local community requires a unique approach to communication, which varies from the communication approach followed by the internal administration of the municipality. Thirdly, local communities should be consulted to identify and communicate their unique communication needs, issues and perspectives as they have unique knowledge of their own local challenges. These inputs from the community cause for powerful communication content and messages key to successful participation and to sustainable development. Fourthly, that the perceptions as expressed by community members, embody their unique and specific communication needs. By converting and translating community perceptions into community needs. positive motivation for public participation could be created. Based on the findings of the analyses and interpretation of the WCD Project findings, a communication framework aimed at enhancing participation was developed in Chapter 5. The framework focussed on guiding the implementation of communication and participation when embarking on development initiatives.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit is 'n realiteit dat openbare deelname prosesse in plaaslike regering nie die uitkomste wat sprekend is van 'n optimale. proses lewer nie. Kommunikasie is die lewensaar van enige ontwikkelingsinisiatief (Swanepoel & De Beer, 1996:1) en word beskou as een manier om die isolasie van mense verbreek. Deur die vermoë te hê om te kan kommunikeer (om uit te reik en bereik te kan word), kan mense werklik seggenskap hê in aangeleenthede wat hul huidige en toekomstige realiteit beïnvloed. Die doelwitte van hierdie tesis was om die kommunikasie tekortkominge wat effektiewe deelname in plaaslike regering verhinder te ondersoek en ook om 'n praktiese implementeringsraamwerk wat daarop gemik is om munisipalitieite te lei rakende kommunikasie, met die oog daarop om openbare deelname te bevorder. Dit is bereik deur middel van 'n literatuurstudie en 'n analise van die Weskus Distrik (WD) Kommunikasie en Deelname Projek (2003). In Hoofstuk 1 was die tesis onderwerp bekend gestel en die agtergrond van die tesis, die navorsingsprobleem, die onderwerp sowel as die raamwerk van die hoofstukke is verduidelik. In Hoofstuk 2 is die sleutel konsepte van die tesis bespreek wat volhoudbare ontwikkeling, openbare deelname en kommunikasie ingesluit het. Hierdie seleksie van konsepte word geregverdig deur die argument dat kommunikasie openbare deelname stimuleer, wat beurtelings volhoudbare ontwikkeling sal bevorder. 'n Beskrywing van die WD Projek bevindinge (2003) is in Hoofstuk 3 verskaf, en word gevolg deur 'n analise en interpretasie van die WK Projek bevindinge in Hoofstuk 4. Gedurende die analise van die WD Projek bevindinge is 'n aantal waarnemings gemaak. Eerstens, is daar 'n betekenende verhouding tussen kommunikasie, openbare deelname en volhoudbare ontwikkeling. Kommunikasie fassiliteer die meedeel van informasie wat beurtelings ingeligde besluitneming tydens openbare deelname bevorder. Laasgenoemde is krities in die vestiging van volhoudbare ontwikkeling. Tweedens, moet daar 'n onderskeid getref word tussen gemeenskap kommunikasie en korporatiewe organisasie. Om met die gemeenskap te werk vereis 'n unieke benadering tot kommunikasie, wat verskil van die kommunikasie benadering wat gevolg word tydens munisipale administrasie. Derdens, plaaslike gemeenskappe behoort meer gekonsulteer te word om hul unieke kommunikasie behoeftes te identifiseer en te kan kommunikeer, omdat hulle kennis het van hul eie unieke plaaslike uitdagings. Hierdie insette van die gemeenskap dra by tot kragtige kommunikasie inhoud en boodskappe wat 'n sleutel rol speel in suksesvolle deelname en in volhoudbare ontwikkeling. Vierdens, dat die persepsies soos beskryf deur gemeenskap lede, hul unieke en spesifieke kommunikasie behoeftes vergestalt. Deur die gemeenskap persepsies om te skakel in gemeenskap behoeftes, sal positiewe motivering rakende openbare deelname geskep' kan word. Op grond van die bevindinge rakende die analise en interpretasie van die WK Projek bevindinge, is 'n kommunikasie raamwerk wat gemik is op die verbetering van deelname ontwikkel in Hoofstuk 5. Die raamwerk is ingestel daarop om leiding te gee rakende die implementering van kommunikasie en deelname.

Full textLocal government is a key point of service delivery and is the sphere where most people interface with government. A good relationship with communities at local government level is therefore critical. Ward committees were designed to improve the relationship between citizens and municipalities and to give effect to the constitutional obligations of municipalities, to provide democratic government and to involve citizens in the affairs of local government. The establishment of ward committees has been met with great enthusiasm by local communities, as a platform to engage with municipalities. National government and provincial governments were key drivers in this project , with support to municipalities in the establishment of ward committee. This endeavour was intended to facilitate better relationships and cooperation between council and its communities. This objective of this research study was to explore whether participatory democracy can be enhanced through a participatory monitoring and evaluation approach within the current ward committee system. The main research question was whether ward committees could be utilised as effective instruments for participatory monitoring and evaluation of municipal service? The sub-questions were: what is the theoretical and legal framework for ward committees; what was the status of ward committee in Knysna Municipality; what were the challenges of the ward committee system; is there a role for ward committees in participatory monitoring and evaluation; and were there recommendations for the involvement of ward committees in participatory, monitoring and evaluation and improvement of the efficacy of ward committees? The study arose out of continuous service delivery protests by communities because of the dissatisfaction with the state of municipal services. Secondly, various research studies have found that, despite national, provincial and local government support programmes for ward committees, the majority remain ineffective and inefficient, and the social distance between communities and municipalities is growing. The lack of communication and the non-responsiveness of municipalities were found to be some of the main causes for the ineffectiveness of ward committees. Key theorists suggest that some of these protests would not occur if effective monitoring and evaluation are institutionalised and communities are involved in monitoring and evaluation. A participatory approach for monitoring and evaluation was therefore examined within the local government legislative framework of South Africa. A qualitative research method was chosen, using a case study design. The case study design was chosen because such studies do not attempt to make any generalisations in term of the results or that it will be similar in another case study. This study was focussed on exploring and understanding the issue. Primary data was collected through interviews and focus groups with ward committee members, ward councillors and municipal officials. Key findings gave emphasis to challenges of lack of communication, non-responsiveness of municipalities and contestation from other community-based organisations that had a negative impact on the credibility and authority of ward committees. The effectiveness of the municipal performance management system as a monitoring and evaluation tool was also questioned in the findings. The significance or value of the study lies in the finding that willingness for participatory monitoring and evaluation exists as does the insight into the status of municipal performance management systems. Recommendations are made for delegating monitoring and evaluation functions to ward committees. Further investigations into modalities for participatory or result-based monitoring and evaluation, as well as the impact of financial and audit driven performance management system are recommended.

Full textOver the course of my service in the Peace Corps I witnessed and participated in the formulation of various MDPs. This experience provided the foundation for this research. I interviewed representatives of the three organizations most actively involved in the formulation of MDPs and a number of local participants including mayors, community leaders, representatives of community-based organizations, governmental and non-governmental organizations.
This research demonstrates that municipal development plans are an effective tool for the promotion of decentralization. Despite this, the research reveals that the short and medium-term relevance of each process employed in the formulation of MDPs depends on which actor groups are focused upon.
These findings focus attention on the value of formulating MDPs. Although it is impossible to gauge long-term effectiveness at this time, it is apparent that the process of MDP formulation helps to create higher expectations of government by citizens, increases the capacity of local government to effectively assume increasing levels of responsibility, and enhances governance structures at the local level.

Full textCommunity participation is a concept adopted to ensure participation and give opportunities to communities to determine their own destination in terms of their needs. It is a means of empowering people by developing their skills and abilities to enable them to negotiate with the development delivery system and to equip them to make their own decisions in terms of their development needs and priorities. The aim of the study is to asses community participation in the development planning and service delivery system by the Omusati Regional Council. As a government institution at the grass root level, it has a task to deliver required basic services through development programmes and projects. Interviews and participatory observation, including project visits were the methods used to collect information on the implementation of community participation in the decision making processes, and project implementation by the Omusati Regional Council. The study is structured into six chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the general introduction, background to the study, the statement of the problem, the hypothesis, objective of the study, perceptions, research methodology, significance of the study and organisation of the study. Chapter 2 discusses the theory and philosophy of community participation. It conceptualizes the key terms of community participation in development planning, such as sustainable development, integrated development planning and projects, decentralised development and the building block of development integrated rural development, basic service delivery and indigenous knowledge systems. Chapter 3 highlights the policy framework on community participation in terms of international, national and regional development planning policy documents. Chapter 4 is concerned with the local context of study (Omusati Regional Council), while Chapter 5 presents the data results, interpretation and analysis. Chapter 6 reflects the conclusion and the way forward.

Os conselhos municipais de saúde no Brasil constituem-se como uma importante estratégia de democratização do setor, onde a participação cidadã e o controle social permanecem ao horizonte da Reforma Sanitária. Observa-se, na última década, uma vasta produção de estudos que envolvem os referidos conselhos. Como parte deste tipo de experiências o Conselho Municipal de Saúde de Salvador (CMSS), objeto desta investigação, precisa ser revisto historicamente com a finalidade de observar o desenvolvimento deste como espaço para fortalecimento de participação cidadã na formulação, execução e controle social das políticas públicas desta área. A originalidade da presente investigação radica na periodização aqui adotada, sendo que o CMSS foi estudado desde sua criação em 1987 até 2006. Trata-se de um estudo de caso do tipo descritivo. Utilizou-se para este propósito 206 atas das reuniões do referido Conselho. Para ter uma maior facilidade na analise dos dados produzidos no trabalho de campo, o estudo foi dividido em seis períodos que estavam de acordo com as mudanças na gestão municipal. Os resultados apontam na direção de que a participação cidadã e o controle social exercido pelo CMSS desenvolvem-se de forma heterogênea nas diferentes etapas do seu funcionamento. As análises feitas neste estudo sugerem que a pesar de se manter as velhas estruturas sociais e políticas na gestão à saúde, o desenvolvimento da participação do segmento dos usuários está associado à autonomia do CMSS perante o Poder Executivo municipal. Finalmente, pode-se concluir que o CMSS pode-se constituir como uma importante arena para desenvolver um processo de luta em favor da ruptura com os padrões hegemônicos vigentes, vinculado ao processo político brasileiro de democratização, em especial da Reforma Sanitária.
The municipal health councils in Brazil are an important strategy for democratization of this sector, where civic participation and social control remain in the horizon of the Brazilian Sanitary Reform (RSB). In the last decade, a vast production of cross-sectional studies that involve mentioned councils. As part of this kind of experience the Health City Council of Salvador de Bahia (CMSS), the subject of this investigation, be reviewed historically accurate for the purpose of observing its development as an area for the strengthening of citizen participation in the formulation, implementation and monitoring social public policies in this area. The particularity of this research lies in the temporary cuts adopted here, and the CMSS studied since its inception in 1987 to 2006 and divided into six periods in accordance with changes in municipal management. This is a descriptive study, which was used as a methodological strategy case study. We used for this purpose 206 minutes of the meetings of that council. The results pointed in the direction of participation and social control exercised by the CMSS took place in a heterogeneous at different stages of its operation. The analyzes in this study suggest that despite maintaining the old social and political structures in the management of health in Salvador, the development of participation segment of users is associated with autonomy CMSS front of the municipal executive. Finally, we conclude that the CMSS is constituted as an important arena to develop a real process of struggle for the break with the hegemonic standards in force, linked to the Brazilian political process of democratization, especially of RSB.

Full textThis study is about how municipalities with different qualifications are working with citizen participation. The study is based on the assumption that a small sized municipality with weak resources may have difficulties in the work of civic participation. This assumption is further investigated with a comparison between a municipality working with an individual planning office and two municipalities of similar size that collaborate with a mutual office for urban management. The research is focusing on how the planners themselves feel that the civic participation has worked in their municipality. Municipal documents are also used in this study next to the planners’ opinions to complete what might be missing. The study is part of the bachelor program Fysisk Planering (Spatial planning) and therefore the study includes civic participation which is a very important part of spatial planning. In the paper you can read about the municipalities that have been selected, their background, how they work with civic participation and what differences there are between the cases. Because of the fact that one of the cases includes two municipalities that cooperate in the planning field there is also a focus in the study on how this cooperation could look like, how it works in this case and at last how a cooperation like this can affect the work of the citizen participation in the municipalities.

Este estudo analisou os planejamentos e execuções de políticas de esporte e lazer desenvolvidas nas gestões da Secretaria de Esporte e Lazer da Prefeitura Municipal de Vitória no período 2005-2012, buscando compreender os fatores que promovem o distanciamento do modelo de gestão pautado na participação cidadã. Importante nessa intencionalidade é a discussão sobre modelos diferenciados de gestão, que primem pela descentralização, participação cidadã e intersetorialidade, todas as categorias emergentes a partir da década de 1980. Trata-se de ume estudo qualitativo, que contou com a pesquisa documental em fontes coletadas no setor de esporte e lazer e no conselho municipal, além de entrevistas a gestores e conselheiros. No modelo de análise dos dados, utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2009). Entre os principais resultados, encontrou-se que o afastamento da perspectiva de gestão social no setor de esporte e lazer se deve a dois fatores: à presença de um discurso esportivista cunhado na formação de atletas e no esporte de alto rendimento; e à ausência do interesse coletivo pela apropriação do esporte e lazer enquanto direito. Apesar disso, é possível afirmar que o setor de esporte e lazer tem avançado no intuito de promover acesso destas práticas aos cidadãos, haja vista a diversidade de equipamentos, projetos e programações voltadas para a comunidade capixaba de todas as faixas etárias
This study investigated the planning and execution of the sports and leisure policies developed in the management of the Municipal Sport and Leisure of Victoria-ES (SEMESP) in the period 2005 to 2012, seeking explanations for the apparent distance of the management model based on participation citizen and intersectorial actions. Important is the intentionality that the discussion about different models of management, based on decentralization, citizen participation and intersectoral approach, all categories emerging from the 1980s. This is a qualitative study, which in its initial phase was conducted a literature review,, followed by analysis of documents concerning the management of SEMESP and possible partnerships, particularly with the Municipal Council of Sports (COMESP). The data analysis technique used was content analysis of Bardin (2009), by cutting the texts according to the most significant content. Thus, the main factors for the management of sport and leisure in the city Vitoria deviating from the perspective of social management is an approach to the ideas of nationalism that prevailed in the country about the sports policy from the 1960s, who coined the training of athletes and the sport of income. With regard to minimum participation in COMESP and SEMESP, we believe it is part of the limited understanding of some managers, and the community about the importance of leisure and sport evidenced in the lack of quorum at board meetings, and the devaluation of sport leisure front of other rights, insufficient training of citizens to participate, insufficient awareness of social commitment and struggle for collective gains and lack of commitment to public policy management of sport and leisure in general. Nevertheless, it can be said that the sports and leisure sector have advanced in order to promote access to citizens of these practices, given the diversity of equipment, projects and programs aimed at community capixaba of all age groups, but that in itself alone does not guarantee the right of ownership in this sector

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Legislation encourages local government! municipalitiesl local authorities in South Africa, to fulfil a development role. One of the main objectives of municipalities performing a development role is to empower communities, especially previously disadvantaged communities. This study argues that the services delivered by municipalities are an essential component of a development orientation. In view of this fact, the study proposes an operational framework, whereby community empowerment can be achieved through municipal service delivery. The operational framework suggest that for community empowerment to be achieved through municipal service delivery, requires that the empowerment enabler (municipalities or departments within municipalities) should assure that: disadvantaged communities have access to services, services must be delivered in a non-discriminatory manner, the community should understand the rationale as to why the service is delivered, opportunity should be given for community participation in the delivery process, there should be a constant information channel between the giver (enabler) and receiver of services, and human resources from the local community should be utilised where possible in the delivery process. Lastly, a descriptive evaluation is undertaken of the health department's approach (at the Stellenbosch Municipality) to the delivery of primary healthcare services and service infrastructure. The purpose of the evaluation is to ascertain whether the principles as proposed in the operational framework are present in the health department's approach to service delivery. The evaluation reveals that most of the proposed principles of the operational framework features in the health department's approach to the delivery of primary healthcare services and services infrastructure. Thereby, concluding that the health department follows to a certain extent an approach to service delivery that could ultimately lead to community empowerment.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Wetgewing vereis dat plaaslike regering/ plaaslike owerhede/ munisipaliteite in Suid-Afrika, 'n ontwikkelingsrol moet vervul. Een van die doelstellings van 'n ontwikkelingsrol vir munisipaliteite, is om gemeenskappe te bemagtig, spesifiek gemik op agtergeblewe gemeenskappe. Hierdie studie argumenteer dat die dienste gelewer deur munisipaliteite 'n essensiële komponent vorm van 'n ontwikkelings-orientasie. Gevolglik, stel hierdie studie 'n operasionele raamwerk voor, waarvolgens gemeenskapsbemagtiging bewerkstellig kan word deur middel van munisipale dienslewering. Die operasionele raamwerk stel voor dat om gemeenskapsbemagting deur dienslewering te bewerkstellig, vereis dat die bemagtiger (munisipaliteite of departemente binne munisipaliteite) moet toesien dat: agtergeblewe gemeenskappe toegang het tot diente, dienste moet gelewer word op 'n niediskriminerende wyse, die gemeenskap moet verstaan waarom die diens gelewer word, geleentheid moet geskep word vir gemeenskapsdeelname aan die diensleweringsproses, 'n kommunikasie kanaal tussen die ontvanger en leweraar (bemagtiger) van dienste, moet geskep word en laastens moet daar van plaaslike arbeid (waar moontlik), in die diensleweringsproses gebruik word. Laastens word 'n beskrywende evaluering onderneem na die Gesondheidsdepartement (by die Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit) se benadering tot die lewering van primêre gesondheidssorgdienste asook diens infrastruktuur. Die doel van die evaluering is om te bepaal of enige van die faktore, soos beskryf in die operasionele raamwerk, teenwoordig is in die gesondheidsdepartement se benadering tot dienslewering. Die resultate van die ondersoek toon aan dat die meeste van die faktore, soos voorgestel in die operasionele raamwerk, wel teenwoordig is in die gesondheidsdepartement se benadering tot dienslewering. Gevolglik kan daar afgelei word dat die gesondheidsdepartement wel tot 'n mate, 'n benadering tot dienslewering volg, wat kan lei tot gemeenskapsbemagtiging.

A cidade de São Paulo insere-se no grupo de municípios do Brasil onde a criação e ampliação dos mecanismos de participação fazem-se presentes principalmente a partir da década de 1990. Esses espaços participativos consolidados pós redemocratização seriam mais um passo no aprofundamento democrático, a conquista por consolidar arenas cujos temas são tão diversos é um passo essencial para a consolidação de políticas públicas. Embora seja considerada um avanço, essas instâncias deliberativas e consultivas necessitam de pesquisas mais detalhadas que mergulhem no interior de seus processos, a fim de iluminar aspectos relevantes de suas dinâmicas, identificando variáveis explicativas para suas ações e identificando seus atores. Neste sentido, o objetivo desta dissertação foi analisar a atuação do Conselho Municipal de Meio Ambiente da cidade de São Paulo de caráter deliberativo e centralizado e a atuação dos 32 Conselhos Regionais de Meio Ambiente, Desenvolvimento Sustentável e Cultura de Paz de caráter consultivo e descentralizado entre 2009 e 2015. Para a realização da pesquisa foram utilizadas análises quantitativas e qualitativas, através das seguintes técnicas de pesquisa: análise documental de fontes primárias e secundárias, como atas de reuniões, acompanhamento das reuniões, aplicação de um survey auto-administrado e entrevistas com conselheiros, servidores, gestores públicos e políticos. A pesquisa identificou quem são os atores nessas discussões, como é a distribuição dos temas ambientais nas diferentes regiões da cidade, quais são os principais avanços e retrocessos destas arenas e iluminou ainda aspectos como: a efetividade destes espaços institucionais de participação, quais são os arranjos disponíveis para que estas arenas atuem e em que medida estes fóruns buscam articulação com o poder público, iniciativa privada ou ainda com outros conselhos de políticas públicas.
The city of São Paulo in Brazil is part of the municipalities group where the creation and expansion of participation mechanisms are always present mainly from the 1990s these participatory spaces consolidated post-democratization would be another step in deepening democracy, the achievement by consolidating arenas whose themes are as diverse is an essential step towards the consolidation of public policies. Although an improvement is considered, these deliberative and consultative bodies require more detailed research to immerse themselves within their processes in order to illuminate important aspects of its dynamics, identifying explanatory variables for their actions and identifying its actors. In this sense, the objective of this thesis was to analyze the performance of the Municipal Council for the Environment of São Paulo deliberative and centralized character and the work of 32 regional councils of Environment, Sustainable Development and Peace Culture advisory and decentralized between 2009 and 2015. For the research were used quantitative and qualitative analysis through the following research techniques: documentary analysis of primary and secondary sources, such as minutes of meetings, follow-up meetings, application of a self-administered survey and interviews with directors, servants, public and policy makers. The research identified who the actors in these discussions, as is the distribution of environmental issues in different regions of the city, which are the main advances and retreats of these arenas and even lit aspects such as the effectiveness of these institutional spaces of participation, what are the arrangements available for these arenas act and to what extent these forums seek cooperation with the government, private sector or with other public policy councils.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The upsurge in the number of public protests in most South African municipalities, including the City of Cape Town, continues unabated. While public protest is a democratic right, provided for in the Constitution (RSA 1996), the violent nature and persistence of protests at municipal level are a cause for concern. The associated violence often leads to the destruction of both public and private property, disruptions in economic activities, loss of lives and severe injuries to innocent victims. The prevalence of public protests continues despite the fact that the new democratic dispensation ushered in a paradigm geared for transforming local government from a racially-segregated institution into a democratic and autonomous sphere of government, with a broad developmental mandate. This new dispensation gave birth to the “invited spaces” of participation, which are aimed at providing scope for the public to influence, direct, control and own the development and decision-making processes. In order to determine factors that contribute to public protests in Khayelitsha the study adopted a qualitative research paradigm. Personal interviews, focus group discussion and participatory observation were some of the research methods used to collect primary data. The study indicates that lack of authentic and empowering public participation opportunities in the decision-making processes of the City of Cape Town alienates the public and leads to public disengagement from available municipal processes. It has been during this period of alienation that the public have been “inventing own spaces” of participation, in the form of public protests demanding that public voices be heard. The study also indicates that poverty, unemployment and glaring gaps of social inequality, reinforced by comparison to available examples in the neighbourhood, are root causes of public protests. The new public participation model that has been developed from this research should be adopted by South African municipalities as an essential public participation strategy. It empowers the public to negotiate a new “social contract” with the authorities primarily based on the public’s terms. It is only when authentic and empowering public participation is practised by municipalities that violent public protests can be minimised. Such authentic and empowering public participation provides latitude for the public to influence, direct, control and even own their “own” development and decision-making processes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die toename in voorvalle van openbare protes in byna alle Suid-Afrikaanse munisipale gebiede, insluitend die van die Stad Kaapstad, duur onverpoosd voort. Terwyl openbare protes weliswaar ’n demokratiese reg is wat in die Grondwet (RSA 1996) verskans word, is die huidige ingeburgerde en gewelddadige aard daarvan rede tot ernstige kommer. Hierdie gewelddadigheid lei dikwels tot vernietiging van sowel openbare as private eiendom. Ook ekonomiese aktiwiteite word ontwrig; daar is lewensverlies en ernstige beserings aan onskuldige slagoffers . Die hoë voorkoms van openbare protes duur voort, ondanks die feit dat die nuwe demokratiese bestel ’n paradigmaskuif ten gunste van transformasie in die plaaslike regeringstelsel beteken het. Alles was in plek om weg te beweeg van rasgesegregeerde instellings na ’n demokratiese, outonome regeringsfeer met ’n breë, ontwikkelingsgedrewe mandaat. Hierdie nuwe bedeling het “genooide ruimtes” vir deelname geskep, wat geleentheid sou skep om invloed en rigtinggewende beheer te verkry oor daardie prosesse van besluitneming wat deelnemers se eie lewens raak. Om die faktore te bepaal wat tot openbare protes in Khayelitsha bydra, is ’n kwalitatiewe navorsingsparadigma gekies. Persoonlike onderhoud, fokusgroepbespreking en deelnemende waarneming is van die navorsingsmetodes wat ingespan is om primêre data te versamel. Hierdie navorsingstudie het bevind dat, ondanks die “genooide ruimtes”, daar steeds ’n gebrek aan egte en bemagtigende openbare deelnemingsgeleenthede in die besluitnemingsproses van die Stad Kaapstad bestaan, en dat dit die publiek vervreem en daartoe lei dat burgers hul aan die beskikbare deelnemingsgeleenthede onttrek. Gedurende hierdie periode van vervreemding het die publiek van Khayelitsha hulle eie “geskepde ruimtes” ontwikkel. Dit was gegiet in die vorm van openbare protes, waar die stemme van die algemene publiek gehoor kon word. Die studie het ook aangedui dat armoede, werkloosheid en opvallende voorbeelde van sosiale ongelykheid (te vinde in die onmiddellike omgewing) aanleidende faktore vir protesaksie was. Die nuwe openbare deelnemingsmodel wat uit die navorsing ontwikkel is, kan aan alle Suid-Afrikaanse munisipaliteite ’n onontbeerlike geleentheid bied om ’n doeltreffende openbare deelnemingstrategie te ontwikkel. Dit bemagtig die publiek om ’n nuwe onderhandelde “maatskaplike kontrak” met die owerhede, hoofsaaklik op die publiek se terme, te sluit. Slegs wanneer die publiek aan egte, bemagtigende openbare deelname blootgestel word, sal daar sprake van ’n vertrouensverhouding met die owerhede wees en sal gewelddadige protesaksie tot die minimum beperk kan word. Sodanige egte en bemagtigende openbare deelname skep ruimte vir die publiek om hulle “eie” ontwikkeling te beïnvloed en mede-beheer te bekom oor die besluitnemingsprosesse wat daarmee gemoeid is.

Full textResources are the heartbeat of an institution. Without adequate resources, an institution will fail to implement its mandate and will also face problems as a going concern that could eventually lead to its collapse, thereby failing the hopes and aspirations of the people it claims to serve. An institution must develop a conscious effort to mobilise its resources by including this aspect in its business strategy and prioritising it. Ntinga O.R. Tambo Development Agency has been established to implement the LED strategy of the O.R. Tambo District Municipality. As a municipal entity this Development Agency is prohibited from trading to realise additional funding and depends solely on grants from the District Municipality, which are on the decline. Registering the entity as a state-owned company (SOC) would allow it to trade to generate revenue and be eligible to collaborate with investors in developing self-sustaining communities. Improving the socio-economic status of any community requires the development of capital infrastructure. Sustainable community development can only be achieved if proper processes are in place to facilitate an all-inclusive community participation process that allows the communities to decide on programmes that will improve their livelihoods and also take their cultural beliefs into consideration. Communities must be empowered to take decisions that affect their future and they must be consulted at the project initiation stage through to its implementation and finalisation. The community programmes that are implemented must be informed by community needs assessments that are properly undertaken and will utilise community resources to meet unmet needs. Successful community programmes are those that are embraced by the communities. Performance monitoring systems are important to assess the attainment of set objectives so that the programme’s impact on the socio-economic status of the communities can be evaluated. Management is responsible for mobilising resources. However, successful resource mobilisation requires the involvement of the board of directors and the establishment of a resource mobilisation advisory council, with its members being well connected. A lean resource mobilisation structure should be maintained and populated when the need arises. Good governance and clean audit reports are catalysts for successful resource mobilisation and all governance structures must be in place to ensure that fraud and theft are limited. Continuous risk assessments are critical in curbing fraud and theft. Relationship management with funders is important. It entails the development of trust and respect. Some funders will invest in a programme based on the common values they share with the organisation. The organisational culture must visibly display the shared values that are lived by all of the organisation’s employees. Resource mobilisation efforts should not rely solely on one income stream, but should be a combination of a number of efforts, from strategic partnerships in the form of public-private partnerships, to property management. An institution must be creative and innovative in adapting its operations in an environment that is ever-changing especially its agility in responding to constant changes in funding institutions’ requirements. Non-compliance with donor funding requirements and investor funding conditions is a barrier to resource mobilisation efforts. Lack of properly qualified personnel to manage investor and donor funding, which could lead to mismanagement of funds, erodes investor confidence in an institution.

Full textDuring 2009 the State of Local Government in South Africa 2009 Report, (2009:71-75) showed that much of local government is in distress and it also showed that much of the local government municipalities faced serious challenges such as the lack of service delivery, poor financial management and weak integration between the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and the Local Economic Development (LED). To improve the performance of the municipalities, the national government approved a comprehensive Local Government Turnaround Strategy (LGTAS) that serves as a country-wide intervention with the aim to address the communities‟ increasing dissatisfaction with poor municipal services, as well as to improve the administrative and financial performance of all municipalities. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of the Local Government Turnaround Strategy (LGTAS) on public participation and good governance with respect to the Integrated Development Planning (IDP) process in the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality. It was found during the literature review that although the Local Government Turnaround Strategy (LGTAS) was successfully incorporated in the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality Integrated Development Plan Review of 2013/2014, more needs to be done to ensure that the medium-term priorities are effectively implemented to promote good governance, and effective service delivery of Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality. The study found that although the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality has a well-planned and well-structured community engagement strategy to promote effective public participation, more needs to be done to ensure that the communities are effectively represented during the various public participation consultation activities to ensure that the needs of the majority of the communities are addressed. The study also found that the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality has well-defined strategies to promote good governance in its Integrated Development Plan (IDP), the effective implementation remains a challenge.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explains community participation in the Integrated Development Planning (lDP) process and indicates that administrative support in the Oostenberg Municipality is not conducive for the facilitation of effective participation in this process. This resulted in poor attendance of the 1997/98 cycle of the IDP meetings. Certain improvements in this regard to the 1998/99 cycle did not show any significant difference. This situation did not allow the Oostenberg Municipality to achieve the objective of meaningful input from the community in the IDP policy process. It resulted in the budget not reflecting the priority needs of community specifically. Data in the study was obtained by means of a questionnaire. Information derived at supports the researcher's hypothesis that administrative support is not conducive to effective participation. The study yielded various reasons for non-participation, inter-alia that: the community was uninformed about the IDP, preventing people from access to information and effective participation; II> community participation was undertaken by various directorates on a fragmented basis while no official plan for implementing participation in a coordinated fashion existed; the Oostenberg Municipality relied only on community meetings as a method of participation. The illiteracy factor in the Oostenberg community however, made this an ineffective method; and the community do not value their participation because of the perception that the municipality and it's officials do not regard the community input in a serious light. Based on these findings, criteria for supporting effective community participation processes were developed. Practical recommendations which can be used to overcome the problems of participation in the context of the study were formulated. The principle recommendations derived at in this study are the following: ~ participation should be institutionalised by making one directorate responsible for it; ~ incorporating a participation policy into the organisation; ~ introducing alternative participation mechanisms, techniques and structures for the IDP; ~ the establishment of better communication systems and processes for the IDP; and, ~ the use of developmental-orientated officials and councillors (by providing them with ongoing training and development). If officials and councillors become developmentorientated they will eventually value community participation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie verduidelik deelname in die Geïntegreerde Ontwikkelingsbeplanning proses (GOP) en dui daarop dat administratiewe steun in die Oostenberg Munisipaliteit nie bevorderlik is vir die ontwikkeling van effektiewe deelname in die proses nie. Dit het veroorsaak dat daar swak bywoning van die 1997/98 siklus van GOP vergaderings was. Verbeterings in hierdie verband tot die 1998/99 siklus het nie enige merkwaardige verbeterings getoon nie. Die swak bywoning het nie die Oostenberg Munisipaliteit toegelaat om die doelwitte van betekenisvolle insette van die gemeenskap in die GOP proses te bereik nie. Dit het gevolg dat die prioriteite van die gemeenskap nie in die begroting gereflekteer is nie. Data in die studie was verkry deur middel van 'n vraelys. Afleiding gemaak vanafinligting ondersteun die navorser se hipotese dat administrasie steun nie bevorderlik is vir effektiewe deelname nie. Die studie verskaf verskeie redes vir die swak deelname, onder andere dat: die gemeenskap oningelig was oor die GOP en dat dit die mense weerhou het van toegang tot informasie en effektiewe deelname; .. gemeenskapsdeelname onderneem was deur verskeie direktorate op 'n gefragmenteerde basis terwyl geen amptelike plan vir die implementering van effektiewe deelname op 'n gekoordineerde manier bestaan het nie; Oostenberg Munisipaliteit slegs op gemeenskapsvergaderings staatgemaak het as 'n metode van deelname. Die ongeletterdheid in die Oostenberg gemeenskap het dit 'n oneffektiewe metode gemaak; en .. die gemeenskap heg geen waarde aan hul deelname nie aangesien die persepsie bestaan dat die munisipaliteit en sy amptenare nie die gemeenskap se insette in 'n ernstige lig beskou nie. Gebaseer op hierdie bevinding was kriteria vir effektiewe deelname ontwikkel. Praktiese aanbevelings wat gebruik kan word om probleme van deelname te oorkom was in die konteks van hierdie studie geformuleer. Die belangrikste aanbevelings is as volg: .. deelname moet ge-institusionaliseer word en een direktoraat verantwoordelik te maak daarvoor; .. die daarstelling van 'n deelname-beleid by die munisipaliteit; .. die bekendstelling van alternatiewe deelname meganisme, tegnieke en strukture vir die GOP; .. die vestiging van beter kommunikasie stelsels en prosesse vir die GOP; en .. die aanwending van ontwikkeling georiënteerde amptenare en raadslede (deur hulle te voorsien van deurlopende opleiding en ontwikkeling). Indien amptenare en raadslede ontwikkelings-georiënteerd is, sal hulle waarde kan heg aan gemeenskapsdeelname.

Full textSince the 1990s, several initiatives to improve citizen participation have been created by local authorities in Brazil. Public policies councils, thematic conferences, participatory budgets and public hearings are the most widespread. However, getting people to participate is not a simple task. Several factors interfere in the decision of individuals and social groups to participate. Local authorities can strengthen citizen participation, but they need better understand the obstacles as well as the possible boosters that exist in their localities. A good assessment is is the first step towards adequate planning, and the use of a specific tool can help to analyse diferente dimensions of engagement, assisting in the selection of better strategies. Adaptation of foreigns instruments can be an alternative when theres no nacional tool developed. The Council of Europe designed an instrument for a self-assessment process, to help local authorities and other organisations or groups at the local level to better understand public participation in their localities. This dissertation aims to use this tool and understand if its adaptable to brazilian circumstances. For such end, was used: i) bibliographical and documental survey; ii) cross-cultural adaptation, made by translation and workshop with experts; iii) road test in Barueri SP. The road test focused on participation initiatives of the local environmental agency: Secretaria de Recursos Naturais e Meio Ambiente. The study demonstrates that self-assessment process requires qualified technical knowledge and an average time of six months. On the other hand, its use provided an occasion to reflect together, policymakers and stakeholders, driving to consider strategies for addressing some gaps detected in citizen participation. The results of the road test were consistent with the perceived reality. The tool proved to be valid for the Brazilian context, but are recommended more experiences for fine adjustments to our sociocultural reality

Full textPromoting equality and proper living conditions is gaining focus in city development contexts today. Swedish research shows differences in social conditions between different urban districts and that access to services, workplaces and social networks is often poor in districts where inhabitants have limited economic resources. Additionally, these districts are often surrounded by physical and social barriers and thus different social groups are divided. This situation is referred to as an important driver for polarisation and social instability. Meanwhile, some of these urban districts are experiencing strong growth as they are developed into centres for commercial and business life. This brings the question on how social inclusion can be promoted in city development up to date. The aim of this study is to contribute to the knowledge on how inclusive city development is understood in the context of municipal planning, and to map methods that can be used to create inclusion on the municipal level. The aim is also to contribute with a knowledge base to support the development of Flemingsberg in Huddinge municipality. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with municipal officers involved on different levels of the city development process, from strategic planners to managers of individual projects. The interviews have been analysed with a discursive approach to examine the understanding of inclusion. Also, good examples of concrete tools and ways of working with inclusion have been mapped from the interviews. The analysis shows that the discourse on inclusion in municipal planning is in fact consisting of several discourses, of which social mixing, cohesion and participation are the focus. Mixing is largely understood as the addition of socioeconomically strong residents in socioeconomically weak neighborhoods, which is believed to contribute to the social cohesion between different social groups. Furthermore, this cohesion is seen as an important factor for mitigating the effects of social problems and to create a feeling of safety and affinity. This is contrasted by a sort of fear and division that seems to be existing today. Citizen participation is described as important for creating and maintaining trust when socioeconomically weak neighborhoods are developed, and methods of participation are common among the good examples brought up by the interviewees. Other methods are connected to the organisation of city development projects, economic tools and initiatives run by citizens.

The present dissertation mentions the Municipal Plan to it of Health of Fortaleza, by means of an analysis under the approach of the participation citizen, in the period of 2001 and 2004. The great goal of the health was to assure the municipalização, with the configuration of a Municipal System of Health, allowing, at a first moment, the implantation of some services and programs of basic attention, and the fortalecimento of the actions of monitoring, and later the magnifying of offers of specialized attention and the reorientation of the hospital attention. It was prioritized to offer an integral assistance that could give covering to the absolute majority of the families of the City. The Municipal Plan of Health (2001 - 2004) had as premises the change in the intervention strategy on the problems of health with the reorientation of the assistencial model and the decentralization of the actions of health. Interviews half-structuralized come back to the using population of the services given in the District Hospital Gonzaga Mota - Bar of the Ceará, as well as to the managers and professionals of the health had been applied, including for the former-member and one responsible technician elaboration related plain of the City council of Health of the city of Fortaleza, referring to the 2001 and 2004. One concludes that, this work points some important advances in the measure where the attempts of overcoming of the considered, either even so visible model the fragility displayed in the Municipal Plan of Health.
A presente dissertação refere-se ao Plano Municipal de Saúde de Fortaleza, por meio de uma análise sob o enfoque da participação cidadã, no período de 2001 a 2004. A grande meta da saúde foi assegurar a municipalização, com a configuração de um Sistema Municipal de Saúde, permitindo, em um primeiro momento, a implantação de vários serviços e programas de atenção básica, e o fortalecimento das ações de vigilância, e posteriormente a ampliação da oferta de atenção especializada e a reorientação da atenção hospitalar.

This study take part in the line of research of Professional development for Educators and educational practices, in the Master of Education: Educating Educators - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP). It aims to respond the following question: Is it possible to implement a democratic and participatory governance in the city of São Paulo’s municipal education system? To seek answers for this question, a main goal was established: To examine, by means of the analysis of the attributions and abilities of the school director and education coordinators as registered on the municipal decree nº 54.453/13, if the democratic governance in school practices is occurring in an effective manner. To support this main goal, some specific objectives were established: a) to classify the attributions and abilities of educational managers in the city of São Paulo’s municipal education system according to the following categories: generator, potentiators or obstructers to effective democratic governance, b) to describe a political-pedagogical project in a school in São Paulo’s municipal educational system, as a way to reveal the need for autonomy in tasks related to education, c) To demonstrate the relationship between the prescriptions of the decree nº 54.453/13, as it describe attributions and abilities of the school director and education coordinators and the collective construction of political-pedagogical project of the school. This research and its findings have led us to the conclusion that if the attributions and abilities of school managers are increasingly subject to outside intervention, based on the issue of performance evaluation and monitoring and other legal instruments, they may become incompatible with effective democratic governance. The investigation has revealed that the structure of public administration and municipal governance, as represented by the aforementioned decree and other norms create a distance between the principles of democratic governance and the daily practice of these professionals. However, there would be more opportunities to promote democratic governance practices if they were in the aligned with the educations goals as stated in the political-pedagogical Project, an instrument which, in conjunction with an autonomy for educational tasks, can make a difference regarding the quality of education offered by public schools. Finally, a suggestion is made regarding the establishment of a new legislation that can lead to the practice of democratic and participatory governance in public schools, leading also to a conquest of social rights
Esta dissertação situa-se na linha de pesquisa Desenvolvimento profissional do formador e práticas educativas, do Programa de Mestrado em Educação: Formação de Formadores, da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP) e busca responder à seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: É possível a gestão democrática na Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo? De modo a buscar respostas para essa questão, foi estabelecido o objetivo geral: verificar, por meio da análise das atribuições e competências do diretor de escola e dos coordenadores pedagógicos constantes no Decreto Municipal nº 54.453/13, se a gestão democrática na prática escolar ocorre de forma efetiva, e os objetivos específicos: a) classificar as competências e atribuições dos gestores educacionais da Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo segundo as categorias geradora, potencializadora ou impeditiva à efetivação da gestão democrática; b) descrever o projeto político-pedagógico de uma escola da rede municipal de ensino de São Paulo, a fim de se recuperar a necessidade da autonomia na tarefa educativa e c) relacionar o que prevê o Decreto nº 54.453/13 no que se refere às atribuições e competências do diretor de escola e dos coordenadores pedagógicos com a construção coletiva do projeto político-pedagógico da escola. Os achados nos permitiram constatar que se as competências e atribuições dos gestores estiverem cada vez mais a serviço da intervenção externa, pautada no controle da avaliação de resultados e em outros dispositivos legais, elas podem se tornar incompatíveis com a efetivação da gestão democrática. A investigação revelou que a estrutura da administração pública e o estilo de gestão municipal submetem o Decreto investigado a outras normatizações criando uma distância entre o princípio de gestão democrática e a prática destes profissionais. Contudo, haveria possibilidade de serem mais geradoras e potencializadoras da gestão democrática se estiverem a serviço dos objetivos educacionais elencados no Projeto Político-Pedagógico, um instrumento que, aliado à autonomia da tarefa educativa, pode ser o diferencial naquilo que é reivindicado pelas escolas para a qualidade do ensino, disputando no contexto de governos democráticos o direito ao verdadeiro sentido deste príncipio na prática escolar. Além disso, sugere-se a revisão e o estabelecimento de arranjos legislativos que resultem em práticas de gestão democrática do ensino público que podem ser caminhos para a conquista de direitos sociais

Full textThis study was carried out to assess the extent of citizen participation in local government decision-making, with focus on the local government budgeting processes. A framework of participatory budgeting in Porto Alegre, Brazil is used to assess participation in budgeting in the Mantsopa Local Municipality in the Free State Province with a view to drawing appropriate lessons for South Africa as a whole. The research looks at three important concepts in governance. The first is the issue of good governance. The second is citizen participation and collaboration as cornerstones of good governance. The third is participatory budgeting as an aspect of citizen participation and collaborative decisionmaking. A multiple research approach was employed, which included the use of focus group discussions, and interviews to examine the level of citizen participation in local government decision-making process within the Mantsopa Municipality. Municipal documents and records were used to analyse the existing situation within the municipality. The research found out that the political and administrative elites are still holding on to power that should be in the hands of citizens. Civil society groups are still being neglected in local government decision-making. Citizens are also not being encouraged and mobilised to take part in the budget process. The issue of racial discrimination in engaging citizens in decision-making still exists. Mostly, the white business and farming community felt that they were largely excluded from these processes.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Local government in South Africa has gone through the transitional phase to become developmental with a number of challenges, one of the most prominent of which has been the lack of adequate financial resources to carry out various service delivery obligations. The lack of financial resources was one of the important reasons that led to local authorities being reduced from 843 to 284 municipalities through the process of re-demarcation that resulted in the consolidation of most of the local authorities. Because of these long standing challenges of financial viability, the objective of the study was to investigate stakeholder involvement in strategic planning and management within the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Council. It had become evident that existing financial constraints in municipalities in general and at Ekurhuleni in particular would remain for the foreseeable future, unless ways and means are found to improve the management of existing resources. The contention in this study is that the inclusion of stakeholders in strategic planning and management should be viewed as important to the Metro as it significantly lessens the doubt as to whether there is a common understanding of what is possible given the limited resource capacity to address many competing service delivery needs. The literature study undertaken showed that local government has learnt lessons from the private sector, and has adopted some of its strategic planning and management practices and adapted them to suit public service delivery needs. In South Africa the local government planning framework is called integrated development planning (IDP). The IDP approach entails the formulation of focused plans, based on developmental priorities. This approach assists in avoiding wasteful expenditure and perpetuating past spending patterns. Furthermore, the idea of adopting a more business-based approach does therefore not mean that the council is run like a company but rather that scarce resources are spent effectively and that all citizens have access to at least a minimum level of basic services. The IDP should be undertaken through participatory processes for effective urban management given the fact that private and public investments and municipal services delivery affect the well-being of all urban residents. Observation at the Ekurhuleni Metro revealed that while strategic planning and management does take place, it does not involve various stakeholders in the processes in a manner that is contemplated by the integrated development planning framework. The absence of a public participation strategy at the Metro meant that methods of engagement, consultation and communication with stakeholders are not clearly spelled out. So is the identification of various stakeholders in terms of the needs, the roles that they can play in the planning processes, allocation of resources to facilitate their participation and empowerment in various planning processes. It was the conclusion of the study that there is limited stakeholder involvement in strategic planning and management at the Ekurhuleni Metro.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Plaaslike regering in Suid-Afrika het deur ‘n oorgangsfase na ‘n ontwikkelings orientasie gevorder maar het ook ‘n aantal uitdagings bygekry. Die prominentste een hiervan is die gebrek aan fondse om die verskillende dienslewering verpligtinge na te kom. Die gebrek aan finansiële bronne was een van die belangrike redes vir die reduksie van plaaslike owerhede van 843 na 284 munisipaliteit deur die proses van her-afbakening wat gelei het tot die konsolidasie van die meeste plaaslike owerhede. In die lig van die lang-durige aard van die uitdagings van finansiële lewensvatbaarheid, ondersoek hierdie studie belanghebber betrokkenheid in strategiese beplanning en bestuur binne die Ekurhuleni Metropolitaanse Raad. Dit het duidelik geword dat die bestaande finansiële beperkings in munisipaliteite in die algemeen, en in Ekurhuleni in die besonder, so sal bly in die voorsienbare toekoms, tensy meganismes gevind kan word waarmee die bestuur van die bestaande bronne verbeter kan word. Die studie voer aan dat die betrokkenheid van belanghebbers in strategiese beplanning en bestuur as belangrik geag behoort te word in die Metro aangesien dit die onsekerheid oor ‘n gedeelde verstaan van wat moontlik is met die beperkte bronne kapasiteit in die hantering van die baie kompeterende diens behoeftes, verminder. Die literatuurstudie poog om aan te toon dat plaaslike regerings lesse geleer het by die privaatsektor en sommige van die stategiese beplanning en bestuurspraktyke opgeneem en aangepas het by die publieke diensleweringsbehoeftes. In Suid-Afrika word die plaaslike regering beplanningsraamwerke, geïntegreerde ontwikkelingsplanne genoem (IDP). Die IDP benadering vereis die formulering van gefokusde planne, gebaseer op ontwikkelingsprioriteite. Hierdie benadering vermy verkwistende uitgawes en die voortsetting van uitgawepatrone van die verlede. Verder beteken die aanvaarding van ‘n besigheidsgeoriënteerde benadering nie dat die raad soos ‘n besigheid bestuur word nie maar eerder dat skaars bronne effektief bestuur word en dat alle burgers ten minste toegang tot minimum dienste het. Die IDP behoort deur deelnemende prosesse uitgevoer te word ten einde effektiewe stedelike bestuur te verseker, gegee die feit dat private en publieke beleggings en minisipale dienste die welsyn van alle stedelike inwoners affekteer. Waarnemings by die Ekurhuleni Metro bring aan die lig dat, terwyl strategiese beplanning en bestuur wel plaasvind, dit nie verskillende belanghebbers op die wyse betrek wat in die geïntegreede beplanningsraamwerk voorsien word nie. Die afwesigheid van publieke deelname in die Metro het beteken dat meganismes van deelname, konsultasie en kommunikasie met belanghebbers nie duidelik gemaak word nie. Dieselfde geld vir die identifikasie van verskillende belanghebbers in terme van belanghebberbehoeftes, die rol wat hulle kan speel in die beplanningsprosesse, die toewysing van bronne en die bemagtiging van belanghebbers om hul deelname te verseker. Dit is die slotsom van die studie dat daar beperkte belanghebber betrokkenheid in strategiese beplanning en bestuur in die Ekurhuleni Metro is.
