Question NW2779 to the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
15 September 2023 - NW2779
Opperman, Ms G to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
Whether all the milestones that were set by her department, were achieved at each of the three pilot sites of the District Development Model; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Six out of the eight targets and milestones in the agreed MoA between the department and the Development Bank of Southern Africa as it programme implementation agent in these three pilot sites, were achieved by 30 April 2023, when the MoA was terminated. The one target and milestone not completely achieved, which stood at 85% achieved, relates to the filling of certain identified vacancies within the three DDM technical support hubs due to recruitment delays and the premature termination of the MoA. The other target and milestone not completely achieved, which also stood at 85% achieved, was the convening of scheduled Executive Steering Committee (ESC) and Operations Steering Committee (OSC) meetings on time as planned due to other priority commitments by both parties.
End.
