For 2006
4 April 2006
Government's new Programme of Action for 2006, which was finalised last week
by a Joint Meeting of Cabinet Committees, has been placed on Government Online
(https://www.gov.za).
This will allow the public to continue to follow progress in implementation
and to make informed assessments of government's performance.
As a practical expression of transparency in governance, it also promotes
conditions in which all sectors of society can work together in a national
effort for faster and shared growth.
As has been done since 2004, The Presidency, working with Government
Communications (GCIS), intends to update the information on implementation of
programmes every two months after reports on progress have been submitted by
Clusters to Cabinet. In addition as particular time frames are reached, there
will be public communication by relevant departments on details of
implementation of the programme concerned.
The Programme of Action for 2006 is based on the decisions of the Cabinet
lekgotla in January 2006 and the Presidentâs State of the Nation Address in
February 2006. It includes activities from the 2005 Programme, which were not
completed during 2005, either because they had time frames that are still in
the future or because of delays which are receiving attention in the new
programme.
This first edition of the programme, released on 4 April, does not record
progress during February and March while the report was being finalised.
