1. Code of Conduct • To ensure greater coherence and consistency in and between the three spheres in their development, sector, financial and departmental planning and budgeting, all role players must: – Align proposals for infrastructure investment and development spending as captured in development, sector, departmental and financial plans in time and space; – Participate and collaborate with colleagues within and between the different spheres of government in their respective development and sector plan preparation and review processes; – Adhere to national development objectives, development principles, policy positions and legal provisions & requirements in all planning actions; – Link the proposals captured in development, sector and departmental planning and plans with financial planning and plans;

1. Code of Conduct – Coordinate and integrate the implementation of proposals captured in development plans with programmes and projects in sector, departmental and financial plans; – Establish agreements (IDe. As) with participating role players and set up structures and mechanisms within and between spheres and sectors to support the required actions; – Share planning, project and programme information in the right format and at the right time by making use of the IDP Nerve Centre; – Rigorously monitor and review development objectives and outcomes of the programmes and projects for implementation (as set out in IDe. As); and – Take strong corrective measures as and where necessary.

2. Intergovernmental Development Agreements (IDe. As) One set of agreements: – Drawn up by: municipalities and organs of state in the provincial and national spheres – On: infrastructure investment & development spending approach, commitments, targets, indicators – For: each district & metro municipality (a specific spatial area) – Will: ensure greater predicatability, commitment and enable “intergovernmental performance management”

2. Intergovernmental Development Agreements (IDe. As) (continued…) • Signed into operation by: relevant Premiers, Mayors and Ministers • Prepared: during preparation of IDPs and PGDSs • Based on and informs: subsequent preparation and reviews of IDPs & PGDSs • Captured in: IDP Nerve Centre where progress on reaching commitment, signing off and implementation can be monitored electronically

2. Intergovernmental Development Agreements (IDe. As) (continued…) • Templates on IDP Nerve Centre will ensure: commitment to national development objectives, adherence to NSDP principles, integration and standardisation for ease of use • Initially: Agreements may not contain any immediate commitment to infrastructure investment or development spending • Agreements will over time: ensure a progression towards actual expenditure & will strengthen intergovernmental relations

3. Strategic Diary • Specifies dates for completion of key activities in each of the government planning systems and spheres • Enables: – Alignment in planning, – Cooperation and integration in infrastructure investment and development spending – Realisation of Intergovernmental Development Agreements (IDe. As)

3. Conclusion Through developmental focused MTSF and the Protocol government will: • act as one entity; • focus on key national priorities; • deliver services and channel resources in the most effective way; and • assist in the eradication of the dualitistic nature of the South African economy. • Executive and Integrated Development Planning • Financial Planning • Sector and Crosscutting issue-Planning • Departmental Strategic Planning
