25 Provision of Services Local Government appointed service provider under the “Water for All Flagship” to provide water to schools without water. Project to commence in August 2008.

27 Monitoring and Evaluation Limited internal capacity available to drive systems With the aid of Provincial Technical Assistant Teams (PTAT’s) and Operational Support Teams (OST’s) the monitoring capacity has improved. The establishment of the Program Operation Management Meetings (POMM) and the Joint Operation Committee (JOC) which are joint meetings of Department of Education and Public Works established specifically for the monitoring of infrastructure projects is working in support of the departmental monitoring capacity. The Department is in the process of appointing Works Inspectors in all four regions. The impact of those appointed could not be felt during the first term because they were being orientated.
