Cabinet ministers, permanent secretaries, and heads of government agencies to be assessed on performance-based contracts

PRESIDENT Mnangagwa will on Friday announce the outcomes of the 2023 Performance Evaluation Results during the 2024 signing ceremony he will preside over.

The President will announce how Cabinet ministers, permanent secretaries, and heads of Government agencies and departments performed under contracts they signed last year.

The President introduced performance-based contracts as a way of fostering a high-performance culture among office-bearers to enhance accountability and good governance.

This follows the New Dispensation’s commitment to making public the performance of Government officials as a way of promoting efficiency and transparency.
