Intergovernmental Relations for Managers

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

This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers municipal budgeting and audit action planning from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because audit outcomes have become the dominant measure of municipal performance, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with consequence management, council procedure and public participation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review consequence management and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the MFMA
Explain council procedure to someone who does not do the work
Take ownership of public participation rather than escalating it
Bring intergovernmental relations into line with current good practice
