The Presidency announced that nominations for the 20 commissioners who will spearhead the National Planning Commission on a non-executive basis opened today.

Minister in the Presidency Trevor Manuel briefed the media on the revised green paper for national strategic planning and says there will be a more focused approach.

Manuel says commissioners will not have executive powers and will only recommend policy changes to cabinet.

Manuel added that more focused issues included climate change, demographic change, water, food and energy security as well as technology and innovation.
