GCIS

The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) provides strategic communication leadership and support to all of government. Our vision is government communication that empowers and encourages citizens to participate in democracy and improve the lives of all. We aim to lead the strategic communication of government through submitting a National Communication Strategy to Cabinet and ensuring coherence of messages, open and extended channels of communication between government and the people, towards a shared vision. GCIS was established in terms of Section 7 (subsection 2 and 3) of the Public Service Act, 1994 [PDF] 211 kb as amended and GCIS was officially launched in May 1998.
