To improve service delivery and promote coherence in the provision of quality services to citizens, government is introducing a new integrated district-based approach to development called the District Development Model. Also known as “Khawuleza”, meaning “hurry up”, the District Development Model will be more practical,achievable, implementable, measurable and aligned to the key priorities of government. It will synchronise planning across all spheres of government and remove silos that often hinder the delivery of quality services. Through the Khawuleza approach, service-delivery planning at district level will be refocused to strengthen cooperative governance and implement a well-coordinated and coherent national programme of action. Development will be pursued through single and integrated district plans – One District; One Plan; One Budget; One Approach. The model will synchronise planning by all spheres of government and involve citizens and civil society in the development of South Africa’s 44 municipal districts and eight metropolitan municipalities. The plan will outline the roles of all government spheres, communities and civilsociety sectors in each district. President Cyril Ramaphosa promotes the provision of quality services and accelerated development of communities through #Khawuleza.
