1. The department only funded the policy conference and no other amount was given for programmes stemming out of the conference. Engagements with the Department continue to lobby for funds for proposals presented subsequent to the conference.
2. The release of the policy conference was hampered by the
delay in the payment of service providers. As a result, the conference report was withheld. Having already settled the payment, the submitted reports have been shared with provincial task team coordinators. Once all information has been verified, the report will be circulated with the sector at large.
