National Treasury, Provincial Treasuries working together with Depart of Cooperative Governance, SALGA and AG Weaknesses identified in Audit Outcomes also inform support and action plans Major challenges remain wrt municipal capacity, readiness to report on service delivery performance information - may impact on achievement of outcome targets Conditions of all support; must be absorbed by municipal officials for continuous improvements, appointment of MM, qualified CFOs, and all FM graduate interns once training programme completed Municipalities are encouraged to replicate similar capacity strategies for all service delivery functional areas 1010
