New approach for the National HRD Plan
• Ownership and buy-in from participating Departments and entities;
• A clear set of protocols that clarify roles of implementers;
This model is based on the following key premises:• Government has limited institutional capacity to
resolve all socio-economic problems simultaneously; • Only a limited set of priority interventions can be
adopted at any one time; and• Horizontal coordination within National and Provincial
government is a crucial area of intervention in resolving persistent socio-economic problems. 7
