Providing policy advisory support to the President through the Ofiice of the Scretary General and Head of the Civil Service
- The Department of Strategic Policy and Delivery of the Office of The President was initially created to offer policy advisory support to the President, through the office of the Secretary General. However, the mandate of the department has now been expanded to encompass the provision of technical advice, support and analysis for the President and Cabinet for evidence-based decision making and policy coordination, in the areas such as the implementation of the National Development Plan and other policy documents, etc..
The DSPD is central to the work of the government, through the OP, serving as an analytical and logical component, tasked with the responsibility of looking beyond what is and providing actionable advice based on evidence. It helps facilitate the vision of the government.
