Task Force and Delivery Secretariat
No body owns cross-ministry outcomes for this agenda, publishes the numbers, or answers for them
Programme Logic
Problem
No body owns cross-ministry outcomes for this agenda, publishes the numbers, or answers for them
Structural Cause
Coordination units placed in line ministries lose convening power over other ministries; a model centred on one political office is also vulnerable to postponed meetings and political transition
Intervention
Prime Ministerial sponsorship and strategic review; a designated responsible minister; a Chief Secretary-chaired or authorised-equivalent senior-officials committee; named ministry delivery officers; and a bounded secretariat that maintains reporting and automatic escalation without assuming statutory functions
Who & How
Target Group
Whole-of-government delivery
Eligibility
n/a
Deliverables
Outputs
Continuity terms approved; delivery officers and alternates nominated; monthly officials reviews held; quarterly dashboards published on the fixed reporting calendar whether or not a political meeting occurs; missed milestones automatically escalated; annual report to Parliament
Outcomes
Programmes remain on schedule through political and administrative transitions and off-track milestones receive a recorded recovery or Cabinet disposition without waiting for Prime Ministerial intervention
Key Performance Indicators
Delivery continuity and discipline
Proportion of scheduled ministry and senior-officials reviews completed; proportion of due reporting returns received; proportion of missed milestones entered automatically into the exception register with a named recovery owner and disposition; and quarterly dashboards published on the fixed calendar independently of political-meeting timing
Costing (Central Scenario)
Where these figures come from
Why this figure?· RM 35.1m over 6 yearsBenchmarked
- Method
- Establishment model: secretariat headcount x loaded cost + operating costs
- Key inputs
- RM 110,000 — 35 secretariat posts at a loaded RM110k each, plus RM2m per year operating costs
- Population
- Whole-of-government coordination (n/a)
- Benchmark
- 35 x 110k = RM3.85m per year + RM2m operating = RM5.85m per year = RM11.7m per two-year phase. Benchmarked to comparable delivery units in the Prime Minister's Department.
- Funding split
- existing 0.10 = existing coordination capacity in the Prime Minister's Department; reallocated 0.45 = MITRA administrative budget; new 0.45 = the incremental 35-post secretariat. GATING on VAL-23 (establishment approval).

The LOADING FACTOR applied in this costing to convert basic salary into a fully loaded employment cost is an assumption, not a sourced figure - see ASM-050.
- Status
- Benchmarked to a comparable programme or source· pending validation (VAL-23)
- Note
- 35 x 110k = RM3.85m per year + RM2m operating = RM5.85m per year = RM11.7m per two-year phase. Benchmarked to comparable delivery units in the Prime Minister's Department.
Delivery & Accountability
Lead Ministry
Prime Minister's Department
Accounting Officer
Chief Secretary to the Government
Supporting Agencies
All lead ministries; MITRA; Ministry of Finance; Implementation Coordination Unit
Mandate Basis
Cabinet may establish a coordinating committee, designate a responsible minister and authorise a Chief Secretary-chaired or equivalent senior-officials mechanism and bounded secretariat within the Prime Minister's Department
Risks & Safeguards
delivery
The delegated continuity chain is not formally adopted or maintained, causing reporting, escalation and cross-ministry action to stall when a Prime Ministerial review is postponed or political and administrative office-holders change
Safeguard
GC-01 to GC-08: Prime Ministerial sponsorship with delegated operation; designated minister; Chief Secretary-chaired or authorised-equivalent senior-officials committee; named ministry delivery officers and alternates; bounded secretariat reporting authority; automatic milestone escalation; meeting-independent publication; and office-based succession and handover clauses
political
A six-year horizon necessarily spans at least one general election; a successor government may change the policy direction, machinery or institutional host and may not continue unapproved programmes
Safeguard
GC-08 attaches reporting, records, acting arrangements and handover duties to offices rather than individuals; GC-01 to GC-07 keep authorised administration operating during transition; Phase 1 deliverables are front-loaded; independent evaluation and audit continue under their instruments; a successor Cabinet retains authority to amend or discontinue policy
