Towards a 15 year review: synthesis report: a discussion document

The publication in October 2008 of Towards a Fifteen Year Review Synthesis Report was the culmination of a review initiated by the Cabinet in July 2007. Building on the Ten-Year Review, the Macro-Social Report and the Development Indicators, the objective was to assess progress towards government’s objectives derived from the constitution and successive electoral mandates. While the review covers the whole period of almost fifteen years since the attainment of democracy in 1994, the emphasis is on the period beginning since the 2004 election. The 2004 mandate is therefore used as a a yardstick to measure progress, along with the Constitution and the objectives of reconstruction and development.

Assessment of the impact of government programmes is intended to inform policy choices for the post- 2009 period, and is therefore concerned as much with shortcomings and challenge as it is with achievements
