PRELIMINARY EXPENDITURE PER ECONOMIC CLASSIFICATION - 2007/08
OPERATIONAL PRELIMINARY EXPENDITURE PER ECONOMIC CLASSIFICATION - 2007/08
PRELIMINARY SPENDING • The under-expenditure on Compensation of Employees is due to the delays in the filling of funded vacant posts created on the establishment of the Department. The department has experienced capacity constraints in the recruitment and selection processes for the filling of a large number of these posts. The capacity constraints compounded by the ongoing turnover of staff and the onerous public service staff appointment processes, presented significant challenges for expenditure in this area.
PRELIMINARY SPENDING • Programme 2: Comprehensive Social Security • The under-expenditure on Goods and Services relates to the late awarding of the tender for the piloting of the Care Dependency Assessment Tool to the amount of R 1,524 million. This tender was awarded in December 2007, and an amount of R 500 000 was paid during March 2008 for the initial phase of the project.
PRELIMINARY SPENDING • Programme 3: Policy Development, Review and Implementation Support for Welfare Services • The under expenditure on Goods and Services relates mainly to unforeseen administrative delays in the execution of planned projects as well as the limited operational capacity, amongst others: • The costing of the comprehensive Policy on Disability; • The roll-out of the second phase of the norms and standards project for social welfare services; • The establishment of the national clearing house for the CDA. • The research on substance abuse; • The training on the Ke-moja manuals; and • The auditing of old age facilities.
PRELIMINARY SPENDING • Programme 4: Community Development • The under-expenditure on Goods and Services relates to administrative delays with the implementation and the payment of planned projects, amongst other: • Media campaigns for NPOs and NGOs within the community; • Costing and impact assessment of the Technical Reference Team on the registration and capacity building of NPOs; and • The registration of the national qualification for community development workers.
PRELIMINARY SPENDING • Programme 5: Strategy and Development • The under-expenditure on Goods and Services relates mainly to delays experienced in executing the following key projects: • The concept development and organizational design for the Appeals Tribunal that had to be informed by some research, consultation with provinces and other stakeholders; and • The implementation of the Management Information System for Social Development.
