Statement
on the media launch of the Towards a Ten Year Review discussion document
16 October 2003
Government is releasing today the outcome of research in the form of a discussion document reviewing the impact of its policies as we approach the end of the first decade of freedom.
The study was prompted by a need to measure progress in confronting the key challenges government faced in 1994.
"Towards a Ten Year Review" is based on comprehensive research conducted within and outside government. As well as attempting to evaluate the extent to which government has achieved the objectives of reconstruction and development in the past decade, it sets out more modestly to explore the possible policy permutations for the next decade in the context of the imperatives of the Constitution and the challenges of reconstruction and development
The production of the report, conducted by the Policy Co-ordination and Advisory Services (PCAS) unit in The Presidency was overseen by a steering group of Ministers and received inputs from individual departments. The project outputs were reviewed by the Directors-General clusters.
Government hopes that through this discussion document, it will encourage other sectors of society, in sport, arts and culture, academe, the professional spheres, trade unions and the private sector to develop assessments of their own sectors. It is also hoped that these sectors will engage in public discussion around "Towards a Ten Year Review".
Together these different reviews and the public discussion will help the nation assess itself in our First Decade of Freedom.
