The Integrated Sustainable Rural Development Programme (ISRDP) is an initiative driven from the Presidents office. The ISRDP is a ten-year programme emphasising the integration of planning for services and is a major new developmental role for local government. Thirteen of the most disadvantaged rural district municipalities in South Africa have been identified for this programme. These following district councils have been identified as the pilot sites or 'nodal' points in the programme: Chris Hani, Oliver Tambo, Ukhahlamba, Alfred Nzo, Zululand, Bohlabelo, Central Karoo, Kgalagadi, Umzinyathi, Sekhukhune, Thabo Mofutsanyane, Ugu, and Umkhanyakude.
