MEDIUM-TERM STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK (MTSF)

Key points in the NDP include:

•

Active citizenship in the field of spatial development will be supported and incentivised through a range of interventions, including properly funded, citizen-led neighbourhood vision and planning processes and the introduction of social compacts from neighbourhood to city level. Planning in South Africa will be guided by a set of principles to create spaces that are livable, equitable, sustainable, resilient, and efficient, and support economic opportunities and social cohesion. A national spatial framework will address local deficiencies in integrated development planning and enhance governance and administrative capabilities for planning at all scales.

The 2019–2024 MTSF is a five-year implementation plan and integrated monitoring framework focusing on seven priorities and interventions for the sixth government administration. It promotes alignment, coordination, and full integration of development planning instruments, focusing on outcomes, indicators, and targets for achieving priorities and developmental impacts. The focus of the MTSF 2019–2024 for the human settlement sector is to implement a coherent programme to transform human settlements and to ensure that the delivery of housing is used to restructure towns and cities, strengthen the livelihood prospects of households and overcome spatial apartheid patterns.
