Intergovernmental structures
A number of intergovernmental structures promote and
facilitate co-operative governance and intergovernmental
relations between the respective spheres of government.
These include:
- The President’s Co-ordinating Council (PCC), comprising the President, the Minister of
Provincial and Local Government, and the nine premiers.
- Ministerial clusters, directors-general clusters and the
Forum of South African Directors-General (FOSAD), which promote
programme integration at national and provincial level.
- Ministerial fora (or MinMecs) between responsible
line-function ministers at national level and their
respective counterparts at provincial-government level,
which normally meet quarterly. These forums are
supported by technical committees.
- A number of intergovernmental forums that facilitate
co-operative government and intergovernmental relations.
To improve integration among all spheres of government in both policy development and implementation, the Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act, 2005 (Act 13 of 2005) [PDF] was promulgated in August 2005.
