This partnership initiative programme was established in 2014 to assist CoGTA to improve and strengthen the institutional and administrative capacity in municipalities by focusing on the FAME programme, which amongst others aims at inculcating a culture of service excellence.
The main objective of the FAME is to provide local government practitioners with a platform to vigorously debate critical issues pertaining to the sector, in order to find solutions which can be implemented and thus enhance the overall efficiency and service delivery by municipalities.
