  10. Approach to Public Consultation • The position on public consultations adopted by the MOD and PCD is the following. • The route embarked upon in the writing of the 1996 White Paper and Defence Review, i.e. the holding of workshops in nine provinces, was not feasible to undertake in the present Defence Update 2005 process due to time and resource constraints. • It was envisaged that public hearings, that which was held on 25 Oct 2005, would suffice to provide the necessary platform for civil society to make inputs into the drafting of the Defence Update 2005.

  11. Way Forward • Interdepartmental Workshop • A one interdepartmental workshop represented by the IRPS and JCPS Depts. • A date for such a workshop needs to be fixed and will be informed by the revised timelines. • Distribution of Report 1 to the PCD • Inclusive of comments of all stakeholders • Inclusive of all inputs from the Public Hearing • Focus Areas • Poverty and underdevelopment • Human Security • Developmental Peace Keeping
