Coordination between the key Provincial partner organisations in support of the Programme is reviewed on a monthly basis by the Programme Coordination Group (PCG). The PCG is chaired by the Head of the Provincial Treasury, and provides a forum where the key provincial partner organisations can reflect, collectively, on how they are contributing to the development of an integrated provincial LED support system through the implementation of this Programme.
