WAYFORWARD• DoE to continue to interact with communities in an unmediated manner;

• Strengthen PPPs to be equally representative of all areas of DoE;

• Continue programme roll-out without compromising service delivery;

• Broaden roll out to include ALL provinces;

• Involve all stakeholders – including Parliament; and

• DoE to avail programme funding in line with Cabinet implementation expectations.
