Towards a Ten Year Review

Más información sobre el libro

The attainment of democracy in 1994 presented government with twin challenges: significant institutional transformation and at the same time introducing new policies in line with the democratic Constitution. Secondly the Government had to deal with the legacy of Apartheid within South Africa, whilst at the same time facing new challenges of integrating the country in a rapidly changing global environment. Since 1994, the State has deliberately set out systematically and deliberately to dismantle Apartheid social relations and create a democratic society based on the principle of equity, non-racialism and non-sexism. The Towards a Ten Year Review was overseen by a steering group of Ministers and received inputs from individual departments in government. The project outputs were reviewed by the Directors-general (DG) clusters. The Review is organised on comprehensive research conducted within and outside of government, and attempts to evaluate the extent to which government has achieved its objectives in the past decade. More modestly, it explores the possible policy permutations for the next decade in the context of the imperatives of the Constitution and the challenges of reconstruction and development
