COGTA ANNUAL REPORT 2020

end of the performance year, preparatory work was underway to prepare the building for occupation. The lack of suitable accommodation has had negative impact on the effective performance of various units of the Department. In the performance year the Department began to pilot a different service delivery approach or model, whereby a regional based approach is used as a form of service delivery vehicle. This meant pulling to pieces the former silo approach on service delivery towards a collaborative delivery approach.

Consequently, this challenged the norm and created anxiousness amongst employees. The Department had to carefully navigate through such anxieties and this will overflow to the new performance year, until stability is realised. 2.4 Key policy developments and legislative changes There were no policy developments and legislative changes.
