Coinciding with the first week of media briefings by government clusters on
implementation of the Programme of Action for 2006, the programme published on
the government website https://www.gov.za is
being updated on the basis of reports by clusters to Cabinet.
The Cabinet finalised the reports at its meeting on 3 May. The updated
report on implementation is being published cluster by cluster, in accordance
with the schedule of cluster media briefings, which starts on Tuesday, 9 May.
The schedule of the week of media briefings is available on the government
website.
The Programme of Action for 2006 is based on the decisions of the Cabinet
Lekgotla in January and the Presidentâs State of the Nation Address in
February. It includes activities from the Programme for 2005, which were not
completed during 2005, either because they had longer timeframes or because of
delays that are receiving attention in the new programme.
This is the third year of publication of governmentâs Programme of Action
with detailed targets and timeframes. The practice was initiated in May 2004
when the newly elected government set out its programme. The report on
implementation is updated in line with the two monthly cycle of reporting by
clusters to Cabinet.
By enabling the public to continue to follow progress in implementation of
governmentâs programme in detail, this will promote conditions enabling all of
society to work together to build a South Africa in a national effort for
faster growth and development.
