Policy and strategy development and implementation support

The department’s strategic priorities over the medium term are aligned to the PSP and the PSIP. Policy and strategy support will be provided to the Safety Priority through participating in the Shukuma: Moving Mindsets programme, an innovative programme aimed at reducing school based violence, and the focus areas of family strengthening, youth at risk and alcohol harms reduction. Policy and strategy development and implementation support will be provided to the Growth for Jobs and Wellbeing Priorities through work conducted in the focus areas of food security, mental health, the Jobs Theory of Change process, and a few other projects, such as the Green Economy Skills work. The department contracted with the Apolitical Academy to provide learning resources for public servants that are drawn from government learnings throughout the world. This includes on-line training courses and has enabled access of provincial officials to a wide range of choice with respect to training. The PDIA methodology previously mentioned also assists in finding innovative solutions to stubborn strategic challenges at the transversal level.
