The Information Management Objective
By 2010 and beyond, there are measurable improvements in South African ambient air quality as a result of, among others, air quality management interventions that are fully informed by accurate, current, relevant, complete and accessible information.

The SAAQIS Objective
By 2010 and beyond, a national air quality information system is in place that provides accurate, current, relevant, complete and accessible information for informed decision-making that goes beyond compliance with national and international information management requirements and commitments.

The SAAQIS Vision

The SAAQIS ultimately aims to provide:

A one-stop site for users to get an overview of what air and atmospheric quality information exists.
Centralised, verified applications for practical implementation of the Air Quality Act to facilitate compliance with norms and standards by the different stakeholders.
Vertical integration of the 3 spheres of government - national, provisional and local with regard to air quality information.
Flexible technological solutions allowing for utilisation of various current and future air quality management solutions for different stakeholders.
