Evaluation of the existing institutional arrangements. For Climate change, the current mechanisms include: The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Climate Change The strategic, multi-faceted and cross-cutting nature of climate change response activities necessitate the formation of a coordination committee at Executive (Cabinet) level, which will ensure coordination of actions and alignment of all actions with national policies and legislation.

Evaluation of the existing institutional arrangements. Spatial and integrated development planning is the responsibility of local government and to an extent, provincial – demands placed on these plans and accordingly on municipalities do not only stem from the Development Facilitation Act, the Municipal Systems Act and in the Western Cape the Land Use Planning Ordinances but also from sector legislation such as the Water Act, the NEM Waste Act, the NEM Air Quality Act, the NEM Integrated Coastal Management Act, etc. Apart from the substantial financial burden on municipalities, satisfying all these masters through different processes (only integration through stapling different plans together) of approval, monitoring and reporting is counterproductive both in terms of service delivery and in terms of integrated environmental management towards sustainable land use. Currently IDPs and SDFs are developed by municipalities with very little involvement of the relevant provincial and national departments and a “mass consideration and approval” process is followed at the end of the development process where relevant national and provincial departments convene for a week or two to consider all SDFs and IDPs. In order to optimize the instrument, these arrangements would need to be fundamentally reassessed. National and provincial sector departments should share the responsibility of developing sector elements of SDFs and the integration thereof. The institutional arrangement currently followed for some environmental management frameworks could be considered. These EMFs are developed at the cost of the national or provincial environmental department but in partnership (through an MOU) with the relevant municipality. The municipality then superimpose its development / growth plans on this environmental information and trade-offs are negotiated. The result is a SDF that is agreed to between the environmental authority and the municipality and the “approval” process thus facilitated. Institutional arrangements on monitoring implementation of and compliance with SDFs are either non-existing or totally ineffective. This will need to be addressed if the environmentally informed SDF non-existing or totally ineffective. This will need to be addressed if the environmentally informed SDF.
