OVERALL PERFORMANCE REMARKS • Monthly expenditure by provinces is moving slower than expected. • There is gradually improvement due to strengthened continues DOA - CASP monitoring. • Overall picture is better given that the first two quarters of the year did not perform well. • Overall provinces have spent 62% of their budget at the end of January 09. • National performance index indicates that only three provinces (GP, LMP and WC) performed well to date. • All provinces are range bound above 46% expenditure at end of January 2008. • Implementation performance this year is fairly on track compared to previous years (at 51% this time.) • In our view procurement plans are not finalized in time by provinces- Resulting in dumping
