IntroductionIntroduction

Introduction of the delegation

At the end of 2005, we reviewed the department’s organisational structure. The objective being to align it to the strategic objectives, strategies and programmes of the department.

The restructuring has led us to strengthen the capacity to provide oversight on the implementation of national programmes, including programmes under ASGI-SA

The new structure will become effective from 01 April 2006

Our firm belief is that the new structure will enhance performance of the organisation, improve service delivery and also increase accountability and assist us to adjust to the changing needs of our clients
