A new department will soon be set up at the Parliament complex to facilitate Government’s roadmap to the 2014 elections and framework for change.

According to Public Service Commission chairman Josefa Serulagilagi, the new department has been tasked to ensure a better and well-coordinated approach to the implementation of the Roadmap and Strategic Framework for Change.

The department is also expected to facilitate consensus building through nation-wide reconciliation and dialogue.

The unit will also monitor and assess the implementation of all the objectives of the roadmap by various government ministries and agencies.

The department will be headed by a Deputy Permanent Secretary who will report directly to the Office of the Prime Minister.

Serulagilagi said the new entity does not incur any additional cost to government because it was created after the phasing out of 3 units from the Ministry of National Planning - the Good Governance Unit, the National People’s Charter Council and Public Relations Media Team.
