The IDP sets out the priorities and goals that your local municipality will focus on for a period of five-years. It includes plans for community needs in the areas of essential services, land use, and supporting the local economy. An IDP covers a five-year period, but it is reviewed every year to reflect changing local needs and issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the previous campaigns, we have learnt that the IDP process provides an unique opportunity to build partnerships with other ECD players in your community. Your club can use this process to create new or strengthen existing partnerships with the ECD Forums in your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be part of sharing your local ECD needs in the IDP process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jump to menu:<\/strong> <a href=\"#toolkit\">Toolkit<\/a> | <a href=\"#fiveactions\">Five Actions<\/a> | <a href=\"#downloads\">Downloads<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-image uagb-block-41199321\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-image uagb-block-33874fb3 stepping-stone stepping-stone-mobile\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"toolkit\">IDP Toolkit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you on your journey to making ECD a priority in your community, we have created an IPD toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The toolkit describes what the IDP process is, why it is an important part of our socio-economic development and seven simple steps to get involved with your local IDP process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The toolkit is available in a English, Zulu, Setswana and Afrikaans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more, we encourage you to reach out to your coach or contact the SmartStart contact centre at <strong>0800 014 817<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-image uagb-block-fe1c0ca4 stepping-stone stepping-stone-mobile\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"fiveactions\">Five Actions on ECD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with role players in your community, you can collectively call on your local municipality to support ECD in these five ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Include an ECD infrastructure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove barriers to registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set aside adequate funding for ECD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Map all the ECD programmes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hold regular meetings with ECD programmes and parents<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your community&#8217;s opportunity to shape it&#8217;s future and have all it&#8217;s needs responded to.
