BACKGROUND
2016/17
Strategic outcome oriented goals
The SALGA strategic plan 2012-2017 was a
culmination of an extensive consultative process
through the governance structures as outlined
in the SALGA constitution. The strategy focused
on outcome indicators over and above output
indicators. It placed greater emphasis on results,
outcomes and impact through the collective
effort of the unitary structure.
The strategic goals contained in the SALGA
strategic plan represented the long-term results
(outcomes and impacts) that the organisation is to
champion as the basis of driving service delivery,
transformation, growth and development in
the sector as a whole. They also represented the
strategic focus that harnessed and galvanised the
resources and efforts of the organisation towards
a common purpose.
