INTEGRATED COUNCILLOR INDUCTION
PROGRAMME (ICIP) FOR 2016
National Members Assembly 20 May 2016
RATIONALE OF THE REVAMPED COUNCILLOR INDUCTION PROGRAMME
• The generic Councillor Induction Programme (CIP) has been revamped and is now
referred to as the SALGA Integrated Councillor Induction Programme (ICIP
offered through SALGA Centre for Leadership and Governance (SCLG).
• The imperative for the harmonization of the CIP (coupling municipal and portfolio
based induction, e-learning, theoretical and practical learning) from a generic stand-
alone training module stems from the political, social, legislative and the vastly
increased use of technology, including social media, which has evolved the
environment in which councillors carry out their responsibilities.
• Further to that, the input of the productive engagements held with stakeholders and
implementation partners in the appraisals of the 2011 CIP also gave rise to the 2016
ICIP and also inspired the SALGA conceptual framework that articulates the learning
pathway for councillor development.

COUNCILLOR INDUCTION PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
• The objectives of the Councillor Induction Programme are to ensure that the newly
elected councillors are capacitated with a “general understanding” of the following:
– Leadership Roles;
– Legislation that is applicable to Local Government;
– Key Municipal Processes;
– Developmental Local Government and Service Delivery.
• The ICIP caters for newly elected and returning councillors. For newly elected
councillors contact sessions are arranged over 5 consecutive days to orientate them
on their roles and responsibilities and for returning councillors a refresher induction is
offered with the option of delivering it through contact sessions or over an e-learning
platform.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE 2016 ICIP
• The revamped 2016 ICIP has the following features:
– It is an accredited LGSETA programme, whereby an NQF Level 3 & 5 certificate
of competence will be awarded to a councillor upon successful completion;
– Twinning of facilitators is envisaged, ensuring a blend of NQF aligned theory and
local government experienced facilitators are assigned to train councillors.
– Training delivery is enhanced through an online Learner Management System
(LMS) that will enable councillors to register and complete an online skills profile
for the purposes of identifying training needs.
– An online training delivery methodology for re-elected councillors to undertake a
refresher induction training, whilst a face to face training delivery methodology
will be retained for newly elected councillors. 4
SALGA COUNCILLOR INDUCTION CONTEXTUAL FRAMEWORK
The 2016 Integrated Councillor Induction Programme (ICIP) appreciates the journey of councillor induction as a series of chapters which is best expressed via the Inductive Learning Pathway diagram. The Inductive Learning Pathway is the foundation for the Macro Learning pathway and has a 3 phased approach as outlined below:

2016 INTEGRATED COUNCILLOR INDUCTION PROGRAMME (ICIP)
INDUCTION BY THE MUNICIPALITY • This entails the induction of councillors by their respective municipalities drawing on
the expertise and support of SALGA. During this induction councillors are exposed to the environment within which they will be working within the jurisdiction of their municipality including but not necessarily limited to the applicable by-laws of the municipality, its rules of order in council and the specific responsibilities of each councillor in the respective committees in which they serve.
PORTFOLIO BASED INDUCTION • The portfolio based induction is intended to orientate councillors in specific portfolios
aligned to their responsibilities within a municipality whether such a committee is a Section 80 committee such as a Finance Portfolio Committee, or a Section 79 committee which is a sub-committee of Council such as the Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC) or a committee created through a collective agreement such as Local Labour Forum (LLF). The municipality may initiate the request for the delivery of this induction by SALGA.
