Question NW2777 to the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
15 September 2023 - NW2777
Spies, Ms ERJ to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
What are the relevant details of how the District Development Model will (a) deal with the service delivery concerns of all citizens and (b) ensure the efficient delivery of services to all citizens in light of the high frequency of service delivery challenges in municipalities across the Republic?
Reply:
a) The intergovernmental One Plans are the implementation tools of the District Development Model, which provides the framework for how service delivery challenges will be responded to by government. One Plans therefore contain budgetary commitments, performance and implementation targets, milestones and timeframes, by all of government that are confirmed and agreed upon at the various intergovernmental structures and platforms that are already in place across the three spheres of government.
b) Intergovernmental commitments made in One Plans are monitored and tracked through the work of the established intergovernmental structures and platforms across the three spheres of government as well as through the DDM Information Management System produced by the Department and individual provinces. These mechanisms are also complimented by the quarterly reports produced by the DDM political champions and the hosting of Presidential DDM imbizos in all provinces and in selected districts, where the Executive engage with citizens on not only service delivery challenges but also progress made in this regard.
End.
