The role of the IPR panellists
and process
The role of the IPR panellists is to
objectively assess the performance of
the ETP in 2011 in terms of providing an
overall perspective of the programme in
2011; highlighting the positive aspects of
the ETP; and sharing insights on areas for
improvement as well as best practices from
other countries, if any.
From 7 to 8 February 2012, the panellists
went through a full two-day review of
ETP and Government Transformation
Programme (GTP) efforts. During the
course of these two days, the panellists
were taken through detailed presentations
of each NKEA and National Key Result
Area (NKRA) (including the work done
during the labs) and the outcomes to
date. The panellists were also furnished
with presentations, materials, data and
evidence that supported the results. As
was the case in 2010, the Directors of each
NKEA and NKRA were on hand to deliver
Hershman and Huang at the full two-day review
Sharing information with the Prime Minister at the Cabinet Away Day
detailed presentations of their respective
NKEAs and NKRAs and field questions from
IPR panellists in an open and transparent
manner.
Each panellist had plenty of opportunities
to ask questions and critique all aspects
of the ETP and GTP. They were also given
time to deliberate among themselves
and prepare their feedback which was
then shared with the Prime Minister, the
Cabinet and the PEMANDU Secretariat.
In the interest of public disclosure, the
ETP findings have been published in this
Annual Report. Together with the report on
International Performance Review
the Agreed-upon Procedure (AUP) exercise
undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers
(PwC), the ETP’s data have been verified
and confirmed. The consensus is that
the ETP achievements presented here
are indeed real, tangible and can be
accounted for.
We also present here, the feedback as
delivered by the IPR panellists to the Cabinet
as well as their additional individual input
in challenging some of our key arguments,
addressing areas for improvement and
encouraging continued efforts in meeting
our objectives.
