GOOD PRACTICE PROCESS FOR CONSULTATION- Process 1 1 st phase Departments should review mandates & objectives Assess the degree to which available capacity is aligned with delivering services Assess available service delivery mechanisms, & how well they function Gather intelligence on customers incl. profile, how they engage their services and current service use Identify gaps.

GOOD PRACTICE PROCESS FOR CONSULTATION- Process 1 2nd phase Occurs once departments have dev guidelines for new services or for re-engineered services ▪ Customers consulted on the degree to which new services/ re-engineered services meet their needs ▪ Align operations and services with the needs of citizens ▪ Flag problems with service delivery before they occur

GOOD PRACTICE PROCESS FOR CONSULTATION- Process 1 3rd phase ▪ Evaluate the implementation ▪ Monitor the effectiveness of the service offered

GOOD PRACTICE PROCESS FOR CONSULTATION- Process 2 Process 2 is an activity within Process 1 ▪ Identify objectives of the consultation initiative (objectives should be realistic, achievable and measurable) ▪ Take into account type of information required & level of analysis ▪ Establish qualitative & quantitative data needed ▪ Consult & ensure its according to approved design ▪ Analyse & interprete findings

Conclusion Departments have embarked on a variety of activities to communicate with the public. Not all of these fulfill a consultative function –e.g. through reports, advertisements and websites.

Recommendations Prioritise the concretisation of consultation standards. Assess different consultation mechanisms & ensure use of the most feasible, effective & efficient. Improve the manner in which they monitor & evaluate implementation of consultation.
