Integrated Development Plans
Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) are strategic frameworks used by local governments to outline long-term goals for community growth and service delivery. They coordinate efforts across sectors like infrastructure, health, education, and economic development to ensure balanced and sustainable progress. By planning holistically, IDPs help allocate resources effectively, address community needs, and promote coordinated development over several years. Essentially, they serve as a roadmap that guides municipal actions, investments, and policies to improve residents’ quality of life while fostering sustainable development.
