Digitalized

The reimagining of the profiling tool as part of local government digital transformation roadmap has culminated into a digitalized profiling tool, with enhanced business processes as well as a knowledge management capability for both SALGA and municipalities.

Instant reports

The tool is no longer to be administered during a face-to-face engagement by SALGA and the municipality.
