89 aligned with the NSP 2012-2016. The department is also the focal department at SADC on mainstreaming HIV&AIDS into development. The department is the anchor department at the PSCBC on labour relations matters relating HIV&AIDS. The DPSA has for the past two years drafted the Public Administration Management Bill (PAM Bill) which is to provide better coordination of the Administration across all three spheres of government and provides for the Minister for Public Service to set common norms and standards for all spheres of government. This coordination framework is similar to the one approved at the first SANAC Plenary meeting in Pietermaritzburg in October 2012. Consultation on the PAM Bill and its implications was discussed among different stakeholders including government departments at the Government Technical Task Team (GTT), the Inter-Departmental Committee for Human Resources Management and Development and at the National AIDS conference. Currently, the DPSA is in the process of approving the formation of Inter-departmental Committees at the District and Local Municipal Level. These will be convened by district and local municipal administration (municipal managers). These structures will coordinate the activities of government departments at all levels, especially where these departments have a presence in a particular municipal demarcated zone. These will include national, provincial and municipal government departments. All the activities and related outputs of the government departments will be accounted for at the level of the local and district municipalities within the context of the Integrated Development Plan. This approach towards the mainstreaming of HIV&AIDS is a clear indication of a management and governance framework of the disease that seeks to link the causes and effects of the pandemic within a developmental context. The Inter-Departmental Committees at the Provincial level will continue to be convened by the Offices of the Premier and at the National Level by the DPSA. Consultation with SALGA on Framework has begun and is ongoing between DPSA, SALGA, SANAC and Future group. The practical piloting of this model has begun at the eHlanzeni District Municipality. The coordination model, will be mediated by assessing the epidemic at a local municipal level in the “Know Your Epidemic” (KYE) model. This model will entail the development of the local municipal response specific to the dynamics of local conditions upon which the pandemic takes place and will be guided by the spatial mapping of socio-economic and environmental factors. This approach will be binding to government departments based on existing laws, policies and programmes and the “Know Your Response” (KYR) component of the model. The coordination of the programme will also be enhanced by the assessment of government and non-government stakeholders including state owned companies and civil society organisations, business, labour and NGOs. This assessment will incorporate evaluation of their capacity and mandates in the “Know Your Institutions and Capacity” (KYI&C) model. It is envisaged that by March 2014 all government departments in eHlanzeni, all government entities and other SANAC sectors will have a clear understanding of the epidemic. This understanding will entail an assessment of their response capacity based on their core mandate as well as provide a clear understanding of other stakeholder’s roles and capacities. All these will be synthesized into a local municipal HIV&AIDS response which the municipality can the implement based on the current IDP. The IDP governance framework provides for revision and amendment as and when need arises. Once done in eHlanzeni, 89
