M & E Policy Recommendations Report - FINAL
The focus of this Research Report is the policy recommendations emanating from the findings of the Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) Mzansi Golden Economy (MGE) programme evaluation. The methodological approach adopted for the policy review was to conduct a desktop study focusing on the key DAC MGE policies and strategies, guidelines and process documents, followed by a review of implementation and compliance in relation to Reports 1-6 (5 category reports and 1 summative report). The desktop study was supplemented by engagement with DAC officials during a consultative meeting focusing on their knowledgeability of the DAC MGE policies, guidelines and processes as well as challenges in relation to implementation and compliance.
