1. Code of Conduct
• To ensure greater coherence and consistency in and
between the three spheres in their development, sector,
financial and departmental planning and budgeting, all
role players must:
– Align proposals for infrastructure investment and
development spending as captured in development,
sector, departmental and financial plans in time and
space;
– Participate and collaborate with colleagues within
and between the different spheres of government in
their respective development and sector plan
preparation and review processes;
– Adhere to national development objectives,
development principles, policy positions and legal
provisions & requirements in all planning actions;
– Link the proposals captured in development, sector
and departmental planning and plans with financial
14
planning and plans;
1. Code of Conduct
– Coordinate and integrate the implementation of
proposals captured in development plans with
programmes and projects in sector,
departmental and financial plans;
– Establish agreements (IDeAs) with participating
role players and set up structures and
mechanisms within and between spheres and
sectors to support the required actions;
– Share planning, project and programme
information in the right format and at the right
time by making use of the IDP Nerve Centre;
– Rigorously monitor and review development
objectives and outcomes of the programmes and
projects for implementation (as set out in
IDeAs); and
– Take strong corrective measures as and where
necessary.
