Public Participation Week
Working together, we can do more
Public Participation Week from 9 to 15 November 2009 is an opportunity for the public to strengthen partnerships with government.
It is government’s commitment to build strategic partnerships across communities, stakeholders and sectors, supporting the President’s initiative for government to serve the public.
How can communities interact with Government more regularly?
The public must be involved in the work of government as the foundations of this democracy. There are many ways this happens in South Africa:
- by participating in ward committees
- by attending community meetings and public participation events
- by visiting government offices and centres such as Thusong Service Centres, youth advisory centres, clinics and libraries
- by calling government’s toll-free number 1020
- by calling the Presidential Hotline (17737) if you didn’t get assistance from other call centres, offices etc.
- by speaking to government officials such as community development workers, early childhood development and healthcare workers and government communicators.
Government understands those issues that communities regard as urgent, and this Public Participation Week is aimed at building stronger partnerships to address these pressing matters.
Events for 9 - 15 November
