Parliament, Friday, 08 September 2023 – Permanent Delegates to the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) will visit their respective provinces next week to assess infrastructure projects as part of the Provincial Week programme, under the theme: “Building Viable Provincial and Municipal Infrastructure for Effective Delivery of Services to Communities.”
The 2023 Provincial Week is a week-long high-impact oversight programme aimed at assessing progress in the building of sustainable human settlements to improve the quality of life for the poor and building viable water and sanitation infrastructure for the effective delivery of services to the communities.
The programme grants Permanent Delegates to the NCOP an opportunity to return to their respective provinces to assess progress made in the delivery of services to citizens and also provides them with an opportunity to contribute to addressing challenges facing the communities.
The NCOP delegates, together with their provincial legislature counterparts, will spend the week conducting oversight visits to infrastructure projects including bulk water supply plants, roads upgrades, and water treatment plants.
