IDPNC User Base and Implementation Schedule


The IDPNC web site has two main levels of users.  The general user can only extract information from the web site, the second level includes users who can both add and extract data/information from the web site.  The latter users belong to organisations who have been assigned an Organisational Administrator (OA).  The OA administers the organisations user base and capture of organisational data.  The National IDPNC implementation team are currently facilitating the implementation process in selected government organisations as illustrated in this Gantt Chart.

The IDPNC web site was developed (amongst other objectives) to improve access to IDP planning data in South Africa, the web site currently has one thousand registered users.  Users download between one and two thousand documents a month.
