Practical Community Development Planning
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through public finance management and irregular expenditure on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: officials are held personally accountable under legislation many have never been trained on, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with intergovernmental relations, consequence management and annual reporting in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring intergovernmental relations into line with current good practice, measured against the MFMA
- Review consequence management and say plainly whether it is working
- Take ownership of annual reporting rather than escalating it
- Explain asset management to someone who does not do the work
