INTRODUCTORY
An Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is a plan for an area that gives
an overall framework for development.
It aims to co-ordinate the works of the Local Authority with
Government Departments and other Development Partners in a
coherent manner to improve the quality of life for all the people living
in an area.
The District Integrated Development Plan therefore, helps the Local
Authority to focus on the immediate and most important local needs
by taking into account the resources available in the community.
The IDP helps speed up service delivery in the most efficient and
effective manner to the most impoverished areas without leaving
anyone behind. It helps to attract additional funds, strengthen
democracy through active participation of all the key stakeholders.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The IDP Preparation and Implementation is governed by two (2)
main Acts namely the Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015
and National Planning and Budgeting Act No. 1 of 2022.
The Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015 demands that,
Local Authorities prepare IDPs to coordinate developmental
programmes and activities with other Developmental Agencies.
The National Planning and Budgeting Act No. 1 of 2020 provides
“Local Development Plan” means a five-year plan for implementation
of the National Development Plan, integrated development plan,
sector investment plan and Medium-Term Budget Plan at district level.
In addition, this development plan that consists of the national vision,
investment plans and the integrated development plans of each
district and is valid for a period of more than five years.

(
Preparation process and
multisectoral integrated approach) Answer: 
YES.
LOCAL AUTHORITY
 CAN SUSTAIN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT
PLANS (IDPS) THROUGH EFFECTIVE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Governance

structures and processes in place for implementing and overseeing the
IDPs. This includes having dedicated teams responsible for coordination,
planning, and implementation of various projects outlined in the IDPs.

Team to reach some areas)
Poor telecommunication network services (this makes it hard for IDP team to
connect to the other areas mostly in rural areas)
Limited Specialized Personnel that are equipped with specialized Geographical
Information Services (GIS) knowledge in the district (this makes the process of
formulating the IDP delaying)
Inadequate capacity at the local level (WDCs, Zones and Villages) on planning
skills.

implementation of the IDP.
Improving telecommunication network services to improve connectivity during
development and implementation of the IDP.

has latest advanced Geographical Information Services (GIS) knowledge with
regards to IDP preparation and implementation.
Capacity building of WDCs on how to develop Ward Development plans.

The significance of Integrated Development Planning in facilitating
meaningful community development in Zambia cannot be overstated.
IDPs provide a comprehensive framework for district development,
facilitating effective coordination, equitable resource allocation, and
stakeholder participation.
