We will establish the 44 district councils and eight metros as the central points for economic development, job creation, investment and the reduction of poverty and inequality.

We will ensure a whole-of-government approach to planning, budgeting, monitoring and implementation at district level.

We will develop accessible participatory budgeting systems to ensure the participation of communities and workers’ organisations in the informal economy. 

We will ensure a tight link between councils, national and provincial government using the Ministers and Deputy Ministers as district champions.
