The way forwardThe way forward
Policy frameworks generally in place – challenge is implementation
Implementation systems not synergistic – Cluster system at national level working but requires improved focus; not aligned with departmental implementation systems and provincial system of implementation; concept of a social compact and partnership with civil society not being implemented;
International dimensions to our work and focus have posed increased pressures and untapped opportunities
Knowledge economy and all its traits are here on us.
