PRESENTATION TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKSON2013/14 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS17 April 2013
MINISTER’S FOREWORD The 2013/14 Annual Performance Plan is based on policy priorities set out in the MTSF, National Development Planand on the State of the Nation by the President. The national Department of Public Works is a critical player in the implementation of the government’s policy priorities. Given the challenges facing the Department, namely: lack of controls in Supply Chain Management (SCM) practices, poor lease management, lack of an appropriate accounting platform of the Property Management Trading Entity (PMTE), an inadequate Immovable Asset Register and lack of built environment and property management skills A Turnaround Strategy focusing on improving the performance of the Department at 3 levels has been developed and deals with immediate challenges, strengthening day-to-day core business and to moving the Department forward in strategic areas of long term transformation. As we strive for a turnaround, we will not lose focus of the core business of the Department, especially where this involves government priorities.
MINISTER’S FOREWORD The State of the Nation Address (SONA) 2012 has outlined an approach of driving and overseeing the Infrastructure Plans of National Government, Provinces, Metros, and Local Governments under Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission (PICC). The Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) encourages convergence of projects to unlock economic benefits of specific Provinces or Districts. Public Works is a significant player in the PICC and accorded the responsibility to co-ordinate SIP 1. The latter being the project to unlock the Northern Mineral Belt with Waterberg as the catalyst. In addition to SIP 1, the Department is committed to deliver over 200 schools across the country by the end of the year in terms of SIP 13. EPWP as a flagship programme of the Department is set to achieve its target of creating 4.5 million work opportunities for the second phase and will benefit immensely from the implementation of the SIPs. EPWP will remain a key driver in tackling youth unemployment. In the year ahead as we commit to improved service delivery, we will utilise infrastructure investment to inter alia contribute to the re-engineering of spatial development and support Government’s rural development strategy.
