Community Development Planning in the Public Sector

Public Sector and Municipal Management|3 days|Classroom or live online

Community Development Planning in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including performance management in government, audit action planning and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because officials are held personally accountable under legislation many have never been trained on, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with service delivery planning, public finance management and intergovernmental relations in their own organisation.

Review service delivery planning and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the Municipal Systems Act
