New Governance-the role and impact of cross government Boards as they tackle the complex problems

For 25 years or more the SA public sector was a leader - a national leader in public administration and a leader of innovation and development in the state. For the last 15 years, however, it has struggled to reshape after a host of reforms. Now it is faced with a new form of governance - the SA Strategic Plan which outlines the Government's commitments, a public sector reform agenda and the new cross government committees, funded by government with mandates to deliver outcomes outside the silos of department structures.

Monsignor David Cappo, Chair of the Social Inclusion Board adresses some of these issues.
