The Committees were told that participation by sector departments in the IDP processes remains a challenge. The TLM reported that sector departments usually do not attend IDP Representative Forums or, if they attend, they send junior officials who are unable to make valuable contributions. The Committees were informed that commitments to IDP are often received late and does not compliment smooth planning processes. The TLM added that it has good relationships with both DBSA and ESKOM and that Eskom's Service Level Agreement will be reviewed to address revenue enhancement strategy.
