ANC vows to communicate a clear implementation plan
ANC has announced a Manifesto Implementation Plan with clear outcome targets to communicate the party’s goals.
To bridge the gap between manifesto commitments and concrete action, the African National Congress (ANC) will create a Manifesto Implementation Plan with clear outcome targets.
The ruling party said government departments and public entities at national and provincial levels will incorporate the manifesto into their five-year and annual plans and budgets.

ANC MANIFESTO GOALS TO BE ALLOCATED FUNDING AND RESOURCES
“By embedding the manifesto in core government planning and allocating resources accordingly, the ANC aims to achieve its goals of poverty eradication, reduced inequality and decreased unemployment,” said ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa during the the party’s manifesto launch at Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban on Saturday.
He also added: “However, the success of this approach hinges on effective planning and implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and timely corrective measures to ensure accountability and deliver tangible results.”
‘EVALUATION AND MONITORING OF MANIFESTO GOALS ARE UNDERWAY’
Ramaphosa said regular monitoring and evaluation were in place to track progress toward achieving manifesto commitments. He said this involves gathering data, assessing performance, and identifying areas where adjustments are needed.
“Based on these evaluations, corrective interventions will be implemented to ensure progress and hold government and ANC deployees accountable for delivering on commitments,” said Ramaphosa.
‘MINISTERS AND PREMIERS WILL HAVE PERFOMANCE AGREEMENTS LINKED TO MANIFESTION GOALS’
He said the government would base the manifesto’s goals on the 2024-2029 Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), which outlines national priorities. Ramaphosa also said resources would be allocated in the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) based on the plan’s priorities.
“Individual ministers, premiers, and provincial MECs will have performance agreements tied to implementing specific manifesto points,” he said. Ramaphosa recently announced that the national and provincial elections will take place on 29 May.
