View answerMy Department is responsible for ensuring that funding provided through the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) is delivered in an efficient and effective way. Systems within the Department involve the checking of projects to ensure that the claimed expenditure is verifiably correct. The claim for reimbursement for the project detailed in the question was selected for inspection by the Inspection Services Division (ISD) of my Department . There were several findings arising from the inspection and it has taken some time to address these findings. However, I can confirm that all findings have now be en addressed and payment will issue very shortly.
