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)

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)

POPULATION

NEXUS

DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

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

19

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?
