  (OSTs) the monitoring capacity has improved.
• The establishment of the Program Operation
  Management Meetings (POMM) and the Joint
  Operation Committee (JOC) which are joint
  meetings of Department of Education and Public
  Works established specifically for the monitoring
  of infrastructure projects is working in support
  of the departmental monitoring capacity.

  Works Inspectors in all four regions. The impact
  of those appointed could not be felt during the
