Reporting processes A Steering Committee comprising of PTR&W, SACR and Participating Local Government municipalities meet regularly to discuss progress in each of the projects. It is attended by high level officials, and minutes are kept of these meetings to track progress. Progress reports on each of the projects are submitted and problem areas identified for action.
