PCC studies provincial service delivery best practice models

Wednesday, May 4, 2016

Pretoria - The Presidential Coordinating Council (PCC) is considering the provincial integrated service delivery models used by some provinces, whose best practices could be shared with others to improve service delivery.

This is according to President Jacob Zuma who on Wednesday presented The Presidency Budget Vote in the National Assembly.

The PCC is the President’s statutory meeting with Premiers and the South African Local Government Association in order to promote sound inter-governmental relations between the three spheres of government.

The President said over the past year, the PCC has focused on the implementation of the Back to Basics local government revitalisation programme.

“To complement the Back to Basics Programme, the PCC is also considering the provincial integrated service delivery models such as the KwaZulu-Natal Province’s Operation Sukuma Sakhe Programme, Free State’s Operation Hlasela and North West’s Setsokotsane Programme.

“This is done to encourage provinces to intensify these models and to share best practices.”

The President said the PCC also continues to monitor the resolution of cases and incidents reported through the Presidential Hotline, in order to promote open, transparent and responsive government and to put people first.

He said the President’s Council has also been a useful platform of processing matters from the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration, led by Minister in the Presidency, Jeff Radebe. - SAnews.gov.za
