REGIONAL SERVICE DELIVERY APPROACH
The City of Tshwane's approved macro structure has led to the re-engineering of the Municipality to better perform its functions as a developmental local government.
A noticeable character of the new institutional arrangements is the introduction of the regional services model which aims to bring government and services closer to the people and improve service delivery.
