CITY OF HARARE
Service Delivery Charter
First Version - 2014
Preamble
This is a Service Delivery Charter of the City of Harare. As Harare, we are the Capital of
Zimbabwe and the commercial and industrial hub of the nation. It is a primate City as it is home
to more than fifty percent (50%) of Zimbabwe's urban population. It is home to eleven of the
twelve tallest buildings, and five of the fourteen Universities in the country. It enjoyed the status
of one of the best planned and serviced cities in Africa. To-date, Harare City has an intact built
environment. Consolidating on its glorious past, the City of Harare prepared a Strategic Plan for
the period 2012-2025 which will see it become a World Class City where residents enjoy world
class services. It is within this framework of the Strategic Plan that this SDC was identified as
'the missing link', and hence it being developed.
This Service Delivery Charter (SDC) is a compact between on the one hand us, the Councillors,
Management and Staff of the City of Harare and on the other hand you, our clients, stakeholders
and citizens of Harare, on the social services that we will provide, the standard of the services,
the manner in which we will provide them, your rights as well as your obligations. Further, the
Service Delivery Charter also provides you information on where, how and who you can
contact for these services, as well as the steps which you can take to make compliments or
complains regarding these services.
While generally our culture does not promote the raising of complaints, the City of Harare
greatly appreciates the importance of feedback, both positive and negative, as means to improve
the delivery of social services and in eliminating vices in the process. Consequently, we have
instituted a robust feedback and complaints handling mechanism.
In developing this Service Delivery Charter, we consulted widely internally within council,
harnessing ideas from Councillors, Heads of Departments, Divisional Managers, Section Heads
and our staff. On the basis of the shared output, we then engaged and negotiated with key
stakeholders, inter alia - Government, business, faith community, non-governmental
organizations, civic organizations, knowledge institutions, statutory regulatory agencies, and
representatives of trade unions, ratepayers and residents.
1
With this Service Delivery Charter, we have a basis on which the performance of Council can be
measured. The SDC clearly benchmarks service delivery, and provides clarity on the standards
we wish to attain. This is consistent with our Vision of achieving a World Class City by 2025.
Vision Statement.
'A World Class City by 2025'.
This Vision is based on ten elements, which are:

actors such as NGOs) to our clients and citizens.
Our Mission Statement is 'To provide a fully serviced, sustainable, safe, vibrant,
beautiful and multicultural environment.'
Mandate
Our mandate as a local authority is enshrined in Section 276 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe
Amendment No 20 (2013), which provides under Functions of local authorities 'our right to
2
govern, on our own initiative, the local affairs of the people within the area for which City of
Harare is established, and that Council has all necessary powers for it to do so'. The
Constitution provides for the local authority' existence, establishes Council's broad mandate, it
guarantees it resources through fiscal sharing and provides rights to citizens which Council
should contribute to, honour and respect.
City of Harare understands this mandate within the broader governance framework set out in
Section 5 of the same Constitution, which provides for three tiers of government, namely
national, provincial and metropolitan councils and local authorities.
Our mandate includes powers to make bylaws and regulations for the effective administration of
the area and power to levy rates and taxes, and generally to raise sufficient revenue for Harare
City Council so that it meets its objectives and responsibilities.
Our mandate is further elaborated in various national legislation, principal among them are the
following:

established framework for anti-corruption which Council should abide by;
2. Water Act (Chapter 20;24) - establishes framework for use and utilization of water
resources and recognizes local authorities as key stakeholders in water management;

implementation of local environmental action plans (LEAPS) on local authorities;
4. Roads Act (Chapter 13;18) - recognizes Councils as roads authorities with responsibility
to plan, design and lay roads as well as responsibility for their proper maintenance;
5. Urban Councils Act (Chapter 29:15) - provides for the structures of Councils and for the
administration of local authorities, provides for sources revenue, grants powers to
councils; lists issues over which Council may make bylaws and infrastructure and services
it may provide;
6. Public Finance Management Act (Chapter 22:19) - regulates how public institutions
manage public finances and outlines processes and procedures that promote sound
financial management;
7. Regional, Town and Country Planning Act (Chapter 29:12) bestows powers to make
master Plans, Local Plans and Subject plans and lays out procedures for their preparation
and for the regulation and control of development in the built environment;
8. Public Health Act (Chapter 15;09) - bestows public health agency on Councils and
elaborates the roles of Councils as public health authorities;
9. Procurement Act (Chapter 22;14) - provides for institutional framework and procedure
on how public entities can procure goods and services in manner that promotes value for
money and reduces incidences of corruption;
10. Labour Act (Chapter 28;01) - provides for the administration of labour in Councils.
The full list of legislation that guides Council is attached as Annex to this Service Delivery
Charter.
In striving to achieve our Vision, in fulfilling our Mission, and in executing our mandate, we have
realized the need and importance of:• an efficient, effective, responsive transparent and accountable Council;
• a results driven Council;
• a residents-trusted Council.
As such, as we pursue our Vision and perform on our mandate, we shall be guided by this, and
the set of core values listed hereunder.

Core Values of the City of Harare
In its conduct, the City of Harare is guided by a set of values. These values are summed up in the
acronym CIATCRE. This is explained below:

3. Accountability
Council shall be accountable to its clients and citizens (downward accountability) to national
government (upward accountability) and to its sister and peer local authorities in the local
government sector (horizontal accountability) in its conduct and performance through
appropriate mechanisms and tools.
4. Transparency
Citizens will have access to information on how Council and its various departments function, as
well as the cost of the services provided. To this end, Council commit to the new arrangements
for openness and transparency and to make easily available the information as follows:
• Submission and publishing of annual reports to the relevant stakeholders by the end
of each financial year (available at Call Centre and our Website).
• Quarterly reports (April, July, October and January) to be shared with relevant
stakeholders (available at Call Centre and our Website).

Further, clients and stakeholders will be accorded access to relevant and accurate and timely
information on governance and social services. To this end, Council commits to the new
arrangements to improve the flow of information as follows:

frontline interaction;

City of Harare Service Commitments
The City of Harare is committed to providing 'world class social services' to our clients and
citizens and to meeting the expectations of our stakeholders. The preparation of the Strategic
Plan 2012-2025 and this Service Delivery Charter is an affirmation and demonstration of this
commitment.
8
Our state of service delivery is typified by lack of water in some suburbs, water rationing in
other suburbs, water pipe bursts, sewage overflows and discharge without adequate treatment,
uncollected waste, deteriorating road and public lighting infrastructure, diminished ability to
manage the informal sector and vendors, inability to pay creditors and staff timely, poor client
and customer relations and poor corporate governance. This myriad of challenges weighs down
our hope for achievement of the Vision of a World Class City. We are however determined,
and with the support of stakeholders, we will restore Harare to its former glory, and we will
together make it one of the preferred, sustainable and livable cities in the world.
Guiding Principles to Service Delivery:
1. Participation
Citizens will be motivated to participate in all council processes and programmes to the extent
possible, and to provide feedback about the level and quality of the social services they receive.
To this end the Board commits to the following participation arrangements:
 Establishment of effective consultation forums relevant to the service delivered and
the targeted client base;
 Development and implementation of assessment tools that will be used in conducting
citizen and client satisfaction surveys;
 Provision of quarterly, half-yearly and annual reports for public scrutiny, and reports
on feedback to and from wards through councillors.
2. Service Standards
Citizens will participate in service level benchmarking and in determining the level and quality of
council services they will receive. Further, they will be expected to monitor and provide
feedback on the delivery of these services. In developing the Service Delivery Charter, clients,
citizens and stakeholders will jointly set the standards.
3. Access
All citizens will have equal access to the services to which they are entitled and pay for. To this
end, all departments commit to the new arrangements to improve services, as follows.
• Establishment of a ‘One-Stop’ service centre by 2017
• Development of a website that allows on-line access to services and appraising
citizens of the existence and details thereof by December 2014;
• General improvement and customer citizens at interface points.
4. Redress: Dealing with Complaints
If the promised standard of service is not delivered, citizens will be offered an apology, a full
explanation and a speedy and effective remedy. When complaints are made, citizens will receive
a positive response.
To this end, Council commits to the new arrangements for dealing with complaints as follows:
• Development and implementation of a complaints policy and procedure framework
by June 2015;
• Training and empowerment of staff in handling complaints;
• Resolving problems/complaints within stipulated timeframes;
• Complaints procedure to be available on various media for wider access;
9
•
•
Frontline teams to demonstrate that they have analyzed and used complaints made to
improve service delivery;
Compiling responses and disseminating information on most frequently asked
questions (MFQs).
5. Value for Money
All social services will be provided economically and efficiently in order to give clients and
citizens the best possible value for money. To this end all the departments of Council commit to
the new arrangements for ensuring value for money, as follows:
• Delivery of services according to approved plans and within the allocated budget – to
be reported on in annual Sectional and Departmental reports,
• Identifying best practices and innovations related to cost saving mechanisms that will
be included in quarterly and annual reports,
• Every year-end, the Mayor shall deliver a televised and detailed State of Service
Delivery Report. The report shall clearly indicate benchmarks for services delivery,
successes, challenges and remedial action taken.
6. Encouraging Innovation and Rewarding Excellence
Council will ensure that an enabling environment for the delivery of services is created, and
further, it will enhance the capacity of its personnel to deliver quality services. To this end,
Council commits to new arrangements for encouraging innovation and rewarding excellence.
It will put in place mechanisms that:
• Encourage innovation and creativity;
• Facilitate the sharing of best practices.
• Identify new ways of rewarding excellence;
• Keep track of the number of documented contributions made (ideas, suggestions,
innovations, proposals) by each employee and how many were implemented and the
impact thereof and recognize and reward performance;
7. Leadership for Service Delivery
All the managers in the service delivery chain will provide direction, create alignment, engage
staff, create effective partnerships and demonstrate ethical and sound values. To this end,
Council commits to the following new arrangements for leadership development for service
delivery:
• Implementation of the client focused, Constitution and ZIMASSET aligned Harare
City Strategic Plan 2012-2025
• Developing mechanisms by which managers obtain feedback from subordinates,
peers, superiors and clients/ customers on their leadership style, conflict-handling
skills, motivation, decision making and inter-personal skills;
