6APPROACH TO IMPLEMENTING THE STRATEGIC PLAN
- Whilst the emphasis of the Outcomes Based
Approach is on doing things differently the
department is mindful of the fact that the
current gaps and challenges related to service
delivery and the overall performance of the
public service are not entirely as a result of
weak or poor legislative framework but as a
result of a number of factors including poor
planning, misalignment between objectives and
plans, weak ME culture and systems and poor
implementation of the range of public service
policy and directives. - The department is therefore of the view that it
is still important to continue with , and build
upon, the implementation of existing projects
and initiatives whilst incrementally introducing
new methods and approaches to achieving the
identified objectives for 2010-2014. - In particular the emphasis will be put on
- Entrenching of the ongoing basic requirements in
relation to policies, systems, regulations and
standard operating procedures with an increased
focus on implementation support to improve
compliance and accountability, - Strengthen Monitoring and Evaluation and
- Establishing and operationalising the
Anti-Corruption Unit. - Priority will be given to key service delivery
departments DHA, Education and Health
7PROGRESS AGAINST THE OUTPUTS/PRIORITIES
- Implementation in the first 2 quarters of the
year ( April- August) has been affected by a
range of factors which include - The development of the departments strategic plan
for 2010-2014 - The development of the Delivery Agreement for
Outcome 12 which involved extensive consultation
with the different stakeholders/departments who
will be involved in the implementation of the
Outcome - Budget re-prioritisation and allocation
- Finalisation of the DPSAs re-structuring process
which was completed and implemented in 2010,
