Driving Sustainable Development: A Keynote on Partnership, Policy & Technology

Innovative Tools for Smarter Governance

A keynote on turning collaboration into measurable impact through digital innovation

Sustainable development doesn’t just require good policy — it demands real collaboration between government, academia, and the private sector, supported by tools that align planning, action, and learning.

In this keynote, we highlight the use of the Knowledge Improvement Tool (KIT), developed by IMPEC and implemented by South Africa’s Department of Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation (DPME). This secure platform supports public programmes by linking strategic planning, monitoring, education, and evaluation in one integrated environment.

The session explores:

• How KIT helps answer three key questions:
  Where are we now?
  Where do we want to go?
  How do we get there?

• How DPME uses KIT to align goals across departments and engage diverse stakeholders
