Cabinet Office has embarked on a performance audit review process and development of a strategic plan to guide its operations.
The strategic plan will be realigned to the policies outlined in the Patriotic Front (PF) administration manifesto and will run from 2013 to 2016.
Permanent Secretary in charge of administration at Cabinet Office Anna Mwitwa Mwewa said it was imperative for Cabinet to have a strategic plan for it to have a clear sense of direction.
Ms. Mwewa said the performance of Cabinet Office has a direct bearing on the overall performance of government.
She was speaking in at the retreat on visioning, performance audit review and 2013-2016 Cabinet Office strategic plan development and drafting.
She said running an institution without a strategic plan was like captaining a ship without a rudder on high seas.
The Permanent Secretary therefore challenged the participants of the retreat visioning, performance audit review to fully apply themselves during the retreat to help government attain its vision of “sustained economic growth and poverty reduction.”
She disclosed that Cabinet has in the interim been using the same expired strategic plan of 2010 adding that many things have happened since then.
“A number of changes that have taken place at Cabinet Office; of note, is the upgrading of the Gender In Development Division (GIDD) into a fully-fledged Ministry of Gender in 2012 and upgrading of the state functions unit into a department,” she said.
Ms. Mwewa said these changes, together with the creation of the civil service travel office, will need to be factored into the strategic plan under development.

Am loving this government am soon quitting MMD, 2016 strategic plan this is great vision and focus.
Anna Mwitwa Mwewa is another Bemba. This PF government is still a govt of the Bembas, by the Bembas and for the Bembas. I sware their meetings are in Bemba.
Joke of the day
They are throwing dirt in our eyes! Fake audit, the report will be glowing
Now PF to suspend National Budget: This article from the Zambia watch dog caught my attention and decided to reflect with “Cabinet in performance review audit” to be honest I was one of the the sympathizers of PF ever since, my belief was that SATA was going to to mobilize a pool of intellectuals to assist run the government, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is nothing that bits higher education in anything. 1. gives you a focus and you can not bite more than you can chew. PF though there were sitting on bundles of cash like in Zamtrop, hence, create districts, make pronounce for new universities, move HQ from L’stone to Choma, all those require huge capital investments. Bloggers insulted Nawakwi when she said PF has failed the budget, now prove her wrong !!
Running a small but excessively blotted govt with at least 3 assistant ministers to each ministry is scarcely strategic thinking. Who is she kidding?
How many Permanent Secretaries are at Cabinet and what are their job descriptions? I know of Suba, Miti and Mwewa herself. Three so far, what do they do? There must be many more, I presume.
That is when they want to strategic plan???? After 2yrs of trial land error!!
PF has been pushing their utopian theories and blaming MMD up to today even on their own failures.
PF have run out of ideas. 90% of the PF chaps running Ministries as Ministers have never done so and have scanty education. education could have assisted them grasp the task on hand.
