Guidelines for Managing Joint Programmes

Chapter 2 : Management of Joint Programmes

Part 1 : Scoping studies and reports

4. Scoping studies when joint programmes are initiated

 

1) When a joint programme is initiated, the programme should be subjected to a scoping study -
a) to determine -
i) the exact nature of the programme;
ii) its primary objective;
iii) its priority status;
iv) timescales for implementation of the programme; and
v) key performance indicators and performance targets for implementing the programme;
b) to identify -
i) the organs of state that will participate in implementing the programme;
ii) the role of each of those organs of state in implementing the programme; and
iii) the extent to which each of those organs of state will be involved in implementing the programme;
c) to determine the capacity required for each of those organs of state to implement the programme;
d) to determine the estimated cost of implementing the programme, including how and by whom implementation of the programme, or aspects of the programme, is to be funded and budgeted for; and
e) to identify a department best suited to act as the coordinating department for the programme.

 

2) The timing of a scoping study referred to in subclause (1) should be aligned with the government's budget processes in order to enable the affected organs of state to comply with clause 15.
