Chairperson, the 2% target, which is a national target, is a target for each department. It is very clear. That is why I said that when it comes to the Department of the Public Service and Administration, we are working towards this 2% target, and we are now at 1,47%.
We are not saying that we are limited to what is being said. That is why I indicated that the PSC had to investigate because it is an issue of concern. As a nation, we wanted to know what was going on. You get different reasons. What we are saying is true. It is true that it is a shared responsibility.
What the Department of Public Service and Administration is doing is to make sure that, this being policy, we encourage and insist that there has to be compliance. That is why we are making a call to all government departments and stakeholders that have an interest in dealing with issues of people with disabilities to assist departments in making sure that we get responsive applications to enable us to reach the target. Thank you very much. Initiatives launched by NYDA to advance youth development
