The Application Management and Data Automation (AMANDA) software was implemented to provide a national system for the management of development applications by the Municipal Corporations, National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) and other agencies that comment on building and development applications. The system, which forms a part of a wider initiative to improve the Development Approval Review Process (DARP), was expected to enhance efficiency through the control and monitoring of workflows, automation of repetitive tasks and information sharing among entities. These improvements would thereby ensure a ninety (90) day response time for building and subdivision applications, reduce bottlenecks within the processes and create an investment friendly business environment.
