01 September 2024 Asivikelane Impacts: January to June 2024
A key component of the Asivikelane hub model is to work with a broader set of stakeholders engaged in specific service issues. Even though this new model is only six months old, it has already borne fruit. Over the past 6 months, Asivikelane impacted 1,785,601 residents. We impacted 381,000 residents through service delivery improvements and 1,404,601 residents through systems impacts, such as budget, process or policy improvements.
