SERVICE DELIVERY AND BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION PLAN(SDBIP)
Objectives of a combined SDBIP and PMS for Umzumbe Municipality
In order to ensure compliance with the objects of the constitution and national policy,
Umzumbe municipality accepted the local government and Batho Pele white papers as its policy
framework for performance management system and for advancing the cause of local government transformation
For the Umzumbe Local Municipality, the rationale for establishing PMS and SDBIP goes much deeper than the mere
partial fulfilment of the legislative requirements.
The PMS was designed to further advance the following objectives:
- Increased accountability
- Learning and improvement
- Early warning signals
- Effective decision
Increased accountability
The performance management system should aim to provide a mechanism for ensuring increased accountability between:
- The residents of the Umzumbe Local and the municipal council,
- The political and administrative components of the municipality,
- Each department and the executive office
Learning and improvement
While ensuring that accountability is maximised, the performance management system must also provide a mechanism
for learning and improvement.
It should allow for the municipality to know which approaches are having the desired impact, and enable the
municipality to improve delivery. It should form the basis for monitoring, evaluating and improving the
Integrated Development Plan.
Early warning signals
The performance management system should provide Managers, the Municipal Manager, Standing Committees and the
Executive Committee with early warning of non-performance of the full implementation of the Integrated
Development Plan.
It is important that the system ensures decision-makers are timeously informed of possible non-performance,
so that they can facilitate pro-active intervention, if necessary.
Effective decision-making
The performance management system should provide appropriate management information that will allow efficient,
effective and informed decision-making, particularly on the allocation of resources.
The functions listed above are not exhaustive, but summarise the intended benefits of the performance management
system to be developed and implemented.
These intended functions should be used to evaluate the performance management system periodically.
