The Strategic Framework for Change Coordinating Office [SFCCO] of the Prime Minister’s Office praised the Ministry of Youth and Sports for being the first government Ministry to plan for 2014.
SFCCO deputy secretary Etuate Tunidau commended the officials of the Youth and Sports ministry while addressing the Annual Corporate Plan workshop at the Nadave Training Centre.
Mr Tunidau was invited to the workshop to explain the performance of the Ministry.
“It’s encouraging to see that you are already planning for 2014 and I commend you for the early effort,” said Mr Tunidau.
The Ministry performed extremely well in the fourth quarter of last year with a rating of 91 per cent by the SFCCO.
With an average rating given for the first quarter of 2013, the Ministry is looking forward to a high rating in the second quarter of this year.
The two-day workshop ended on Friday with officials reviewing their programmes, new project initiatives and opportunities for improvements as suggested by service excellence evaluators.
Permanent secretary, Mr Joseva Sania said the Ministry is carrying out its deliverables at a commendable level but some areas still need to be worked on.
“This workshop is also to allow us to prepare ahead for the 2014 Annual Corporate Plan as well as for the budget submissions,” Mr Sania said.
