Holiday greetings

Posted: 20 December 2006 | Source: PCU

Thank you to all of you who have participated in the implementation of the Thina Sinako Provincial LED Support Programme to date. This year saw the completion of the pilot launches of all of our grant funds, and we have internalised the lessons. As we take a holiday break over the Christmas season, we are conscious of the huge implementation task that awaits us in 2007.

We currently have an open set of two calls for proposals, and plan to launch another 4 calls for proposals in 2007 (LGSF, LCF CAP Identification & Design, LCF CAP Implementation, and FIF2). Members of the Programme Coordination Unit and Government counterparts have to support not only the generation of good quality proposals during the various calls for proposals, but also have to facilitate support during the implementation of funded projects. This support will be informed by our experiences during the pilot calls for proposals and will take further the system and resource deployment improvements made during the course of 2006.

We wish you a restful and happy festive season, and trust that you will join us in 2007 in establishing successful LED initiatives and in strengthening the system of LED support in the Province.
