Purpose of work • Confirm state of IGR in the Province • Confirm and review work done on IGR since last year • Propose overall approach for moving forward especially in light of the IGR Bill • Define terms of reference for moving forward.
Questions for you • What is IGR? • What should it achieve? • How should it be achieved?
IGR Framework that ensure coordinated government action in policy formulation, priority setting, implementation, monitoring and support. Should be a set of systems, structures, processes and procedures
Key findings • In common with some other Provinces • Overall, somewhat uncoordinated and ineffective structures • Little evidence of existence of a framework to ensure coordination in policy development • Insufficient systems/commitment to align planning • Little coordination on implementation • No uniform monitoring and reporting
Key observations • Mixed understanding of IGR within the Province • Tendency to narrowly limit IGR to structures • Absence of integrated concept of IGR in the Province • Absence of common centre for IGR coordination • Expectation that the IGR Bill will be a panacea
Way forward An integrated concept and strategic framework for IGR thatfocuses on ensuring alignment of policy, planning, implementation, monitoring and support systems and processes.
Follow on work Activity 1.7 • IGR in Australia- the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. • Understanding IGR relationships - elected members, officials, spheres of government, civil society, community.
“Unpacking” a service - where is IGR needed? • Waste Management examined • Analysed to determine where cooperation needed for policy, planning, implementation, monitoring and support for service to be provided • Determining roles and relationships required.
Results • Creation of matrix of IGR relationships for the service • Examination of adaptability for other services • Skills and knowledge transfer to Province and municipalities • Understanding of relationships- elected members, officials, community, NGOs, industry groups and structures.
