GUIDELINES FOR INTEGRATING POPULATION INFORMATION INTO IDPs Taking Population Trends Seriously in your IDP PRESENTED NOLWAZI DLAMINI Nolwazi.dlamini@kznsocdev.gov.za 0788003296
SCOPE OF THE PRESENTATION • Aim • Methodology • Who should use Guide • South African Population Policy and Development Plans • What is Integrated Development Plans (Integration) • Integration of Population Information • Gender Population guideline. • Mainstreaming of gender issues into IDP • Way forward • Population and Development Capacity Building Initiative
Aim • The KwaZulu-Natal Population Unit in partnership with DTLG, IDP Managers and the United Nations Population Fund have identified the need to develop guidelines on how to integrate population issues into the IDPS so that the plans are responsive to the population
Methodology • 1st step review IDPs and develop a coherent set of guidelines-IDP process of analysis, strategies, projects, integration and approval. • 2nd step the role and responsibilities of municipal institutional structures and other spheres of government per phase, as well as public participation, in developing their respective IDPs:
Who should use these guidelines? • Municipal Managers; • l Integrated Development planning managers of municipalities; • l Ward Councillors; and • l Community development Workers

INDICATORS • Demographic • Households community assets • Education • Employment • Health • Economy • Poverty and inequality • Infrastructure • Environment • Safety and security • Gender • Governance
Consider trends in HIV and AIDS for use in development planning • Aids related death are altering the age structure of populations (prime working age groups) • Consider effects of HIV and AIDS on population size • This will impact on planning decisions in sectors such as education, health, agriculture, economic development, social welfare • Collect locally based information on various aspects concerning HIV and Aids(ie Record Keeping by HBC) • Effective prevention method need to be in place • Improvement of health infrastructure and capacity to deliver services is important.
Consider dynamics regarding youth trends in development planning • Local government is equally called upon for its response to the demand for caring and developing young people • To understand population dynamics regarding youth trends in your area you need to build a profile of young people that will inform planners on the size • Demographic tool for building a population profile is the population age pyramid • This will provide insight into the dynamics of youth profile to the effect that more informed decisions regarding the future development. • If your population structure indicates that your area has more youth, the benefit to be gained from that demographic fact is called demographic dividend
Monitor population growth(Change) and its impact on the environment trends to inform development planning(Population, Development Environment Nexus) POPULATION • Consideration of people dynamics that are changing over time namely: Migration, Fertility and Mortality(Population) • Population has size, composition and structure that are changing over time • Municipalities need to plan for services of the changing population(Development activities) • Consideration of land, water, air (Environment) NEXUS ENVIRONMENT DEVELOPMENT
Population data should be disaggregated according to sex in order to plan and implement programmes in a gender sensitive manner • Women are a majority amongst the poor, with their multiple burden of domestic work, food production, child bearing and care • Indentify gender issues in your area and ways of addressing these issues in the IDP process • Disaggregate social, economic and demographic data according to sex • Mainstream needs and concerns of women and girls into sectors(education, health, housing etc) • Integration of gender issues in all age groups
Important Questions for Integration of Gender Issues into IDP • Is there some evidence of how women were consulted in developing the integrated development plan? • How many women and men will benefit from strategies developed by municipalities? Do strategies have any negative or harmful effects on women or men? • Does the IDP use the concept of gender accurately and sensitively? For instance male and female • Is there any reference throughout the plan to the difference as well as similarities, in terms of interests, concerns and needs of woman and men, and an indication that these will be addressed? • Is there any acknowledgement of international and national instruments on gender? • Does the plan make provision for adequate resources to be allocated to implement the programmes so that needs of women and men are appropriately and effectively met?
