Please note that the ASCLME Office telephone and fax numbers have been inadvertently disconnected by the phone company. We are working with Telkom in the meantime to restore our connection, but the way it has been done means that it will probably take 7-14 days to restore our lines.

Should you need to contact the Project, please note that our personal cellphone numbers still work, as does email. If you do not have our contact details, please note:

For account queries, please contact Penny Visagie: +27722601335

Sincere apologies for any inconvenience.

What is this?

The Project has taken big strides forward over the past year. One of the most important steps it has taken has been to raise the profile of governance and policy issues, as well as the issue of financial sustainability. This is important because we don’t want the Project to deliver a Strategic Action Programme (SAP), we want the Project to deliver a SAP that can be implemented. In other words, there should not be a gap between the signing of the SAP and the start of implementation of the SAP.

I am very happy with the Project Coordination Unit. It is not common to have a project running in “real time” like this. I hope that the countries follow this dynamic and that at the country level the work will also be on track.

One thing I would like to make a plea for is stability at the PSC level. We want people to be informed about the project and actively participating in it. But when people are new to the PSC they need to be informed and brought up to speed. Changes at the PSC level set us back.”
