7.1.3 Political Level
In the quarterly performance review sessions, the quarterly performance reports are evaluated critically by the EXCO members. This evaluation is aimed at determining to what extent the performance targets and KPIs are positively impacting on the development objectives. Recommendations are then formulated around corrective actions in this regard if necessary. The quarterly municipal performance report, together with recommendations, is then forwarded to the council.
7.2 Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan
The SDBIP facilitates the process of holding management accountable for their performance. It provides the basis for measuring performance in the delivery of services.
7.2.1 Legislative Mandates
The SDBIP is essentially the management and implementation tool which sets in-year information, such as quarterly service delivery targets, and links each service delivery output to the budget of the municipality, thus providing credible management information and a detailed plan for how the municipality will provide such services and the inputs and financial resources to be used (MFMA Circular 13).
The SDBIP therefore serves as a “contract” between the administration, Council and community expressing the goals and objectives set by the Council as quantifiable outcomes that can be implemented by the administration over the next twelve months. This provides the basis for measuring performance in service delivery against end of year targets and implementing the budget.

The SDBIP is a layered plan, with the top layer dealing with consolidated service delivery targets and linking these targets to management. The next layer will detail each output and activities for each output that are linked to middle and junior management. Much of this detail will be included in Performance Plans. The top layer cannot be revised without Council’s approval of an adjustments budget; however, the lower level can be continually revised.
The SDBIP is an implementation plan approved by the Mayor and not Council, after Council has approved the budget. The Ugu District used the five (5) components as proposed by National Treasury for the SDBIP, which are:
• Ward Information.
• Monthly projections of revenue to be collected by source.
• Quarterly projections of service delivery targets and performance indicators for each Vote.
• Monthly projections of operating and capital expenditure and revenue for each Vote.
Detailed capital works plan broken down by Ward over three (3) years
