  14. Concluding Comments • While provinces are projecting to over-spend by over R1bn, Goods and services (such as learner support materials) are projected to under-spend by R700m in 09/10. • Specifically, Compensation appears to be crowding out other spending items. • Provincial spending on NSNP has improved significantly. • At the end of 2008/09 the NSNP grant under-spent by R402m. Current trends indicate that under-spending will not be higher than R40m. • However, spending on HIV & AIDS Life Skills grant is 10 per cent slower than at the same time in the previous year. • Eastern Cape (-24%), Mpumalanga (-28%) and North West (-47%) show the biggest declines on this grant. • Spending on HIV & AIDS Life Skills indicates that provincial and national education need to manage cash flows accurately, as funds are made available to provinces during parts of the year in which they are not needed.
