The Minister confirmed the Department's intention to develop a roll-out of the radically reviewed IPAP over the next three years, which would support sustainable development by: . Developing and implementing a technical infrastructure strategy (including standards, quality assurance, accreditation and metrology). . Addressing the human resource and other organisational constraints that would delay effective service delivery. . Developing partnerships with our institutions of higher learning by entering into mentorship and training agreements. . Strengthening regional industrial development through proactive engagement with our regional trading partners to ensure that appropriate norms and standards, which are mutually beneficial, are adhered to.
