PM Office Appointment: Role of the 'Delivery Tracking Sector' Head Explained

Deacon Daniel Kibret has been appointed as the Head of the Delivery Tracking Sector at the Prime Minister's Office with the rank of Minister. This role focuses on monitoring, measuring, and ensuring the implementation of the government's key policies, strategic plans, and mega-projects. The appointee will work in coordination with the Prime Minister's Office to identify bottlenecks in project execution and provide solutions to ensure timely delivery.

Globally known as a 'Delivery Unit,' this model has been successfully implemented in countries like the UK, Malaysia, and Rwanda to improve governmental efficiency and accountability. Although the position carries the rank of a Minister, it is not part of the Council of Ministers. The unit's primary goal is to shift the government's focus from merely planning to ensuring tangible results (delivery) in terms of quality and deadlines.
