Consultative meetings held with various stakeholders and engagements held during quarter. Report to be presented in plenary on the Section 6 recommendations. Way Forward / Recommendations: - CGE to always have organisational response rather than individual response on these matters. 14 July 2022 13 October 2022 Any other dates for consultations in Section 6 report. Report to be presented in plenary for consideration and actioning. CGE Provincial Support: WC: No Meetings with provincial staff held on APP implementation, despite request to encourage joint planning. My recommendation to strengthen processes and support at provincial level there needs to be the following: 1. Processes that guide roles and responsibilities with Commissioners and provincial managers (PMs). 2. Minimal standard operating procedures (SOPs) guiding the working relationship as any other office would have. 3. Reporting (as and where necessary) to Commissioners as a standard practice (to be included in the SOPs) – on legal cases/complaints and or high level/strategic engagements. Way Forward / Recommendations: - In previous 2 quarters raised request for improving intra provincial work. Concerns were raised, though provincial work is ongoing. Nothing
