IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT
MODEL
Budget Forum – Item 6
1 October 2020
Purpose of the presentation
The aim of the presentation is to:
a. Provide the Budget Forum with a short overview of the District Development Model,
b. Provide some progress on the implementation of the DDM to date,
c. Share the Implementation Plan for the DDM, and
d. Make recommendations to the Budget Forum on key implementation actions for the DDM
Spatialisation & Reprioritisation
of programmes & budgets of 3 spheres over ST, MT & LT in terms of One Plan outcomes, targets & commitments
52 One Plans
LT strategic framework from joint planning, budgeting & implementation over multiple cycles (single line of sight)
Political & technical support
President & political champions/ DDM PMO & District Hubs/ Improved LG capacity & service delivery interventions
Harness a Strategic Country approach
shared understanding, vision & maximum socio-economic
development impact focus in 52 spaces
Improve Cooperative Governance
and intergovernmental coherence aimed at building a capable,
ethical and developmental state
Practical model & methodology
of govt working in unison in district & metro spaces as convergence
points & impact areas within current/enhanced regulatory
frameworks
What is logic of the District Development Model Logic?
DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT
MODEL
Introduces new IGR planning, budgeting and implementation paradigm
and discipline (spatial targeting and budgeting towards common long
term outcomes)

District Development model as a game changer
• District geographic spaces point of achieving country’s developmentaloutcomes and integration;
• District state of development provides baseline and unit of analysis forinforming all spheres of government plans and budgets;
• Strategic response to socio-economic impact of Covid-19;
• Stimulate new thinking, new socio-economic paradigms, new and bold
solutions and alternative;
• Fundamentally change conditions
– People
– Economy Poverty, unemployment and inequality
– Space
• Develop resilience and prosperity of the Country.

What problems are DDM trying to solve?
Critical Success Factors: CoGTA internal DDM realignment & focus; Whole of government buy-in; Leadership & guidance; Spatial budgeting; Opportunities for
reflection, key shifts & bold ideas; Credible data & evidence-based planning; Process management & joint planning facilitation; etc.
District Development Model (DDM) Strategic Implementation Framework
Problem StatementPoor service delivery and development impact caused by:
lack of coherent planning, budgeting & implementation; weak
inter-sphere collaboration; deficient strategic focus of plans;
existing IGR mechanisms not optimally utilised; and no real
joint planning by government departments & entities.
ObjectivesSolve horizontal & vertical silos; narrow distance between
people and government; deliver integrated services and M&E;
maximising impact and aligning resources; facilitate inclusive
economic development; infuse long-term strategic planning.
Build state capacity and strengthen system of LG.
OutcomesSustainable development resulting in poverty
reduction, increased employment & improved
equality; Inclusive & gender-mainstreamed
budgets based on people/ community needs.

Recommendations
Based on the presentation to the Budget Forum, the following recommendations are made. It is
recommended that the Budget Forum:
a. Notes the DDM presentation,
b. Supports the Implementation Plan for the DDM in relation to the development and implementation of
the One Plan,
c. Supports a process where NT to support DCOG to work with sector departments to fast track the
consolidation of grants, and
d. Supports the collaboration between DPME, NT, and DCOG to work together to finalize a common
planning framework to enable the implementation of the DDM.
