The department has authored a comprehensive strategy for enhancing the political and administrative capacity of municipalities that has since been labeled as national best practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is an honour to lead the way in such an important field as capacity building and we are humbled that we are doing something other provinces consider worth replicating. Our municipal capacity building strategy is rooted in our hands-on experience of dealing with day-to-day challenges faced by municipal councilors and officials in the execution of their mandate,\u201d said KZN MEC for Cogta Nomusa Dube-Ncube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While drafting its municipal capacity building strategy, KZN Cogta recognized that over time a great deal of resources had been invested into strengthening the capacity of municipalities yet some municipalities had continued to perform below the expected standard. In some cases, there has been competition between stakeholders in implementing very similar projects. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt has been noted in certain instances that training programmes and workshops for municipal office bearers and officials target the same beneficiaries at the same time leading to the duplication of the scarce resources. Training is often equated to capacity building. While training is part of capacity building, training on its own may not strengthen the capacity of a municipality,\u201d said Dube-Ncube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KZN Cogta has therefore looked at capacity building in its entirety, considering the appointment of adequately skilled personnel and pay attention to the institutional capability by ensuring that there are adequate resources such as human resources, equipment, vehicles, policies and organisational structures that are aligned to the Integrated Development Plans as well as the powers and functions of municipalities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is this all-encompassing nature of our municipal capacity building strategy that has made it attractive to our counterparts in other provinces who are now drawing on our experience in devising their own capacity building strategies that are tailor-made to their unique circumstances. It is only when all provinces work optimally, we will see wholesale change in municipalities country-wide,\u201d said Dube-Ncube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>For more information contact: KZN Cogta spokespersons Lennox Mabaso, 082\u00a0884 2403; or Msawakhe Mayisela, 060\u00a0966 4220<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KZN Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) is hosting representatives of the country\u2019s eight other provinces who have [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10696,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
