The department has indicated that some departments have still to sufficiently strengthen their data collection and management systems. There has been work undertaken in communicating the importance of the outcomes approach but this still needed to be improved upon. Some departments did not submit APPs to the Department for review. However, all submitted APPs were reviewed. The Department is engaging sector departments on obtaining detailed reports for the updating of quarterly progress on the Programme of Action and efforts are being directed at Implementation forums for the finalisation of the review of delivery agreements.
