QUESTION: Make recommendations on the strategies, steps, or types of planning

governance violations have been identified. Your recommendations must ensure
that officials and key stakeholders who have contributed to the fragmentation of
systems, structures, policies, and processes are held accountable, and
consequence management is prioritize
Introduction
Addressing governance violations and fragmentation within a government department
requires a comprehensive approach that considers the intricate dynamics of public
policy, power, and institutional behaviour. Drawing on insights from policy theories,
recommendations can be formulated to ensure accountability for contributing officials
and stakeholders and prioritize consequence management.
Understanding Fragmentation and Governance Violations
Modern government operates in a complex environment, often characterized by a
diffusion of power away from a single, central authority (Naidoo, 2023). This dispersal
occurs both vertically, across different levels of government (e.g., national, regional,
local), and horizontally, to quasi and non-governmental actors. The multi-level
governance (MLG) literature highlights this shift, describing blurred boundaries between
formal and informal sources of authority and a move from centralized control to
interdependence and negotiation.
Within this complex landscape, the policy process often breaks down into specialized
sectors and sub-sectors. Policymakers delegate responsibility for managing these areas
to civil servants and rely on external stakeholders, such as interest groups and
businesses, for information and advice. These relationships can develop into "policy
networks" or "sub-systems," where relationships form between policymakers, civil
servants, and other participants. While necessary for managing the sheer size and scope
of government, this specialization can lead to fragmentation of systems, structures,
policies, and processes (Marica, 2023). Different networks or sub-systems may operate
with limited visibility from the centre, potentially developing their own norms and ways of
working that deviate from overall departmental objectives or formal rules.
