My role is that of Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination. As the name indicates, there’s a component of it, which is policy, and there’s another component that speaks to coordination.

As we started putting together administration to institute the structure and the implementation mechanism, we are working on developing a large monitoring and evaluation structure across the board for all the ministers.

The other side of it is that we have looked to ensure that all of these deliverables form part of our 2024 budget. Are those performance bonds going to come with penalties? How would you ensure they are not mere performance bonds on paper? But as you mentioned, without a strong and implemented consequence management framework, we would be really back to square one where people are getting away with what they’re doing. The other part of it is the baseline with which we’re doing the assessment.

There’s clarity in the linkage between monetary, fiscal and trade policies. We understand the huge interrelation more recognising the issue of foreign exchange, the need for us to attract. So, we’ve identified that and the interrelated coordination mechanism has been developed. We note that some of the data and indices that we have for those sectors are at a very low stage. We’re working to see how we can improve it.

We have put it in every ministry to ensure that we have electronic data management systems deployed for all ministries and agencies and ministry will be assessed on utilising this EDMS who also ensure that the mainstream performance management, HR deployments, are all done electronically. There are department and agencies that fall outside of ministerial supervision. We’re also working on setting up their own delivery mechanism where whoever is sort of chairing in certain instances, vice president chairs these agencies boards and some are under the secretary to the government, which we’re also working to see how we can mandate to the regular report to the president or the chief of staff progress on what you’re doing.

He had his own data on insecurity. The Ministry of Defence has their own data police. So, we agreed on the needs to harmonise and have one data gathering mechanism. It’ll not be the data itself that’s harmonised, but the modality and mechanism with which the data is gathered so that when we come to compare, you are not saying, oh, I use X, Y, Z mechanism. You use X, Y, Z mechanism. These are the sort of things that we seek to do.
