Assignment 2
Due date:25 September 2024
1. INTRODUCTION
This assessment will outline a comprehensive public relations program to raise
awareness about the negative impact of corruption in South Africa and promote
adherence to the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) among 257 municipalities
nationwide. The program will utilise the RAISE formula and operate within a budget of
R15 million.
2. The Public Relations Programme and Campaign
As the public relations manager of the South African National Treasury, I will develop a
program to address corruption and promote PFMA adherence. The RAISE formula will
guide the program’s planning.
Research
Research is a crucial step in planning a public relations program. It involves gathering
data and information about the target audience, their needs, and the communication
channels that can be used to reach them (Wilcox et al., 2013). In the context of this
program, research will be conducted to understand the current level of awareness about
corruption and the PFMA among municipalities.
Application
For this program, research will be conducted through surveys and focus groups with
municipal officials and stakeholders. The research will aim to identify the target
audiences, their needs, and the most effective communication channels to reach them.
, Adaptation
Adaptation involves tailoring the program to suit the unique needs and context of each
municipality (Smith, 2017). This step is critical in ensuring that the program is effective
and resonates with the target audience.
Application
For this program, adaptation will involve developing tailored messages and materials for
each municipality. This will include creating customized brochures, posters, and social
media content that addresses the specific needs and concerns of each municipality.
Implementation of Strategy
Implementation involves executing the program through various channels and tactics
(Kendall, 2013). This step requires careful planning and coordination to ensure that the
program is delivered effectively.
Application
For this program, implementation will involve a range of tactics, including workshops,
media campaigns, and stakeholder engagement. The program will be executed in
partnership with local government associations and other stakeholders to ensure
maximum reach and impact.
Evaluation
Evaluation involves assessing the effectiveness of the program and identifying areas for
improvement (Broom & Sha, 2013). This step is critical in ensuring that the program is
achieving its objectives and making a positive impact.
