Understanding South Africa's Development Plan In 2025

Interoperability of Development Planning and Investment Frameworks in South Africa

In South Africa, spatial planning, infrastructure investment, and economic development frameworks must be interoperable across all spheres of government to ensure effective implementation. The National Development Plan (NDP 2030) serves as the guiding vision, with provincial and municipal planning aligning to its objectives. The National Treasury plays a key role in financing infrastructure, while growth potential studies and the District Development Model (DDM) ensure that development efforts are targeted and coordinated.
