Policy Issues. Provision of support on mass valuation policy considerations, including, inter alia: legal definition of market value for tax assessment; valuation models and methodologies; definition of a separate taxable unit; valuation standards for use in property taxation; and studies on international best practices on mass valuation issues.
Policy Issues. Challenges in the Establishment of Reserves The most difficult aspects of establishing a reserve were suitable land acquisition, the rehabilitation of agricultural ground and removing of farming infrastructure, the costs involved in fencing, lodge development, forging a name in the competitive eco-tourism environment, disabling legislation and cumbersome EIA processes and long delays in decision- making in obtaining permission and approvals, for example, a three year wait for the approval of the opening of a lodge. On the other hand, the easiest, least troublesome aspects were that wildlife is hardier and more resilient than domestic livestock, even in drought conditions and therefore less management intensive. The rapid way in which nature returns to a good condition once give the opportunity; continuity once a (good) reputation has been established, the introduction of wildlife. A manager who had been in the profession for a long time observed that given the length of time that reserves have been in operation, there were now plenty of people to ask for advice. Current Sustainability Challenges Important obstacles faced in the foreseeable future include the ability to maintain tourism levels in the light of local and global uncertainties, the government’s attitude and perceived lack of support towards tourism, land expropriation, crime levels, political insecurity, rhino poaching, and the spill-over of ‘unsuitable’ projects, such as wind farms. Received and Desirable External Support The support received that has been received by national and local government, tourism agencies, local authorities and other institutions ranged from ‘nil’ to ‘good’ by reserve managers. Positive support from ECPTA was noted in the process of the Protected Environment declaration and other Indalo members, despite being competing businesses, were prepared to offer advice and support. Government Actions for Sustainability The ways in which agencies could support PGRs was ‘greater policy clarity and engagement in policy formulation,’ greater engagement in the issuing of permits and issues facing game reserves that would reduce the frustrations in efforts to follow the letter of the law. Game reserves are of the opinion that they are overlooked when it comes to financial incentives and support, such as drought relief. That game reserves employ more people per hectare or do more for communities than other businesses is overlooked as PGRs are still looked at as ‘a rich man’s playgro...
Policy Issues. Within six (6) months of the Effective Date, a coordination mechanism between MOE, MHE, MVTT, and the private sector shall be established, with terms of reference to harmonize policies for the broader education sector and promoting multi- stakeholders’ education partnerships in key policy reform areas.
Policy Issues. The SELFMAN project will facilitate increased use of the Internet by making it easier to construct self-managing applications. In addition, we will encourage dissemination of the software results of the project as Open Source software. Both of these activities taken together give us the expectation that the SELFMAN project will increase the use of the Internet in all layers of society, including the Third World and other entities that do not have the material resources to do systems management. Self management, by its very nature, is much less expensive than human management. With our software, one of the goals of SELFMAN is that self management should also not require advanced technical knowledge.
Policy Issues. The proposed action is consistent with the City’s purchasing policies. The contract amount exceeds the city manager’s authority and requires City Council approval.
