SALGA Municipal Governance and Finance Indaba The South African Local Government Association (SALGA) in Mpumalanga will be hosting the Municipal Governance and Finance Indaba on the 5th to the 6th of March 2020, at Graceland Hotel Country Club in Secunda. The Indaba seeks to tackle issues of the National Development Plan (NDP), to ensure that local government starts moving towards implementing the NDP and realising the ideals of a capable and developmental state. SALGA has adopted a multi-disciplinary approach that aims to
curb working in silos and enhance the effectiveness of a consolidated hands-on support programme to member municipalities. This multi-disciplinary approach is also extended to other stakeholders through the Integrated Municipal Support Plan (IMSP) partnerships in the province. In line with this support, SALGA in 2014 launched the Municipal Audit Support Programme (MASP) which aims to improve the audit outcomes while maintaining a strategic balance between a
focus on audit outcomes and service delivery/institutional viability. This support programme is based on a multidisciplinary approach focusing on four pillars: 1) Institutional Capacity 2) Financial Management 3) Leadership 4) Governance This will assist to enhance accountability, governance and service delivery that will result in improved municipal performance for these municipalities.
