Cabinet Support and Policy Division

The Cabinet Support and Policy Division (CSPD) operates two functional units namely, the Recording Secretariat and the Policy Analysis and Review Unit. The division provides Cabinet and its committees with technical support and advice in the areas of policy analysis and review, by the Cabinet Support and Policy Division. Sound and timely decision-making by the Prime Minister, the Cabinet and Cabinet Committees is facilitated through this service.

The CSPD has responsibility for:

• Monitoring the implementation of Cabinet Decisions

• Developing the framework for managing policy formulation in the public sector
