  39. CHALLENGES Systems for proper verification of the provided figures of achievements still need to be strengthened Except for the number of jobs created info provided, there is no systems to monitor the economic impact of projects e.g. food security = total harvest = total income earned. No tool to continue monitoring to measure the sustainability of projects after intervention 25

  40. WAY FORWARD Strengthening monitoring through an intensive SMS District Municipalities deployment by including the oversight in all SMS Performance Agreements Will conclude an agreement with SARS to install an electronic system to enhance monitoring and evaluation of the impact of projects. Fast-tracking the expansion and the utilization of the smart-pen across all the nine provinces by extension officers for data collection and for easy verification . Strengthening monitoring and planning through the M&E forum which is made up by national and provincial planning and m&e officials . Support the functioning of working groups between National and Provincial departments. 26
