Integrated development planning 

Integrated development planning is a process through which municipalities prepare a strategic development plan which extends over a five-year period. The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is a product of the IDP process. The EMM IDP is the principal strategic planning instrument which guides and informs all planning, budgeting, management and decision–making processes in the municipality.
Through integrated development planning, which necessitates the involvement of all relevant stakeholders,a municipality :

• identifies its key development priorities;
• formulates a clear vision, mission and values;
• formulates appropriate strategies;
• develops the appropriate organisational structure and systems to realise the vision and mission;
• and aligns resources with the developmental priorities.

In terms of the Systems Act, all municipalities have to undertake an IDP process to produce IDPs. As the IDP is a legislative requirement, it has legal status and supersedes all other plans that guide development at local government level.
