The strategy focuses on ensuring the timely delivery and accountability of government projects. A key component is the implementation of a Project Management Office (PMO) to oversee and support projects, standardize procedures, and enhance visibility through centralized tracking systems. For example, assigning experienced project managers to each ministry can streamline project delivery.
Additionally, the strategy emphasizes public feedback and accountability by establishing an online platform for citizen engagement and regular forums. Public involvement allows for dynamic discussions and responsiveness to community needs, such as through town hall meetings and mobile apps for direct input.
Leveraging technology for project monitoring is also crucial. By utilizing project management software and data analytics, the strategy ensures real-time updates and predictive insights into project performance, increasing efficiency and transparency.
