2023 Annual Report

The 2023 Performance Assessment Report is informed by the Seven Year Strategic
Plan of the University of Mpumalanga, UMP Vision 2022, which was approved by
Council in July 2015. Two Annual Performance Plans (APPs) were developed for
the 2023 academic year. The first APP was based on the template provided by the
Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) reflecting the Ministerial
Targets as per the 2022-2025 Enrolment Plans. The second APP (Internal) was
informed by the Strategic Plan of the institution and reflects the eight Activity
areas, goals and objectives as per the approved Strategic Plan.

The performance against the Annual Performance Plan (Internal) was monitored
on a quarterly basis by the Strategy Committee of Council and by the Internal
Auditors. Performance during the course of the year was exemplary as all of the
implementation measures were achieved. The Mid-Term Report on the Annual
Performance Plan (January – June 2023) was submitted to DHET.
A detailed analysis of the University’s performance in relation to the Annual
Performance as at 31 December 2023 is presented in Annexures 2 and 3.
