(e.g.report submissions and rental payments) Improved transparency of mineral tenement applications Collaboration with other government agencies is improved (e.g. OCCD/JICA,
landuse mapping project).

CHALLENGES

applications.
• Needs commitment from associates to ensure data is up to date.• Incorporated performance management framework.
