The Department reported that a Professional Resource Teams (PRT) and a Programme and Project Management System (PPMS) have been established to improve alignment and coordination. The PRT will provide assistance with regard to development, reviewing and packaging of innovative approaches to meet identified human settlements' needs across the country, influence planning, and provide and develop sustainable human settlements opportunities. The PPMS will monitor projects of the entire Human Settlements sector in South Africa, by tracking and reporting on the various activities and programmes that contribute towards successful implementation. It is envisaged that these interventions will result in improved spending performance.
