The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is Makana Local Municipality’s main strategic plan, guiding development, budgeting, and service delivery across Makhanda and surrounding areas. It includes the municipal overview, situational analysis, spatial planning, strategic priorities, and financial planning for the municipality’s long‑term growth and service improvement.

Municipal Statistics provide key data about the community, including population demographics, income levels, employment status, education levels, access to water and sanitation, energy usage, and types of dwellings. This information helps the municipality plan effectively and monitor service‑delivery progress.
