Strategic Plan 2015-2020

This is an update of the revised departmental strategic plan presented to Parliament in 2012. The departmental strategic objectives have been amended to take into account the added mandate of the planning function. At implementation level, the accompanying Annual Performance Plan (APP) provides the details. The Annual Performance Plan has been adjusted to provide more focus on outcomes and outputs and less on activities. The targets and indicators have been rationalised to
improve the quality of reporting.
The new mandate of the department has resulted in changes to the organisational structure of the department and to its programme and budget structures. The adjustments were also required to cater for new programmes including Operation
Phakisa, Socio Economic Impact Assessment System, and the Youth policy function.
