STRATEGIC OVERVIEW ANALYSIS • Progress towards achieving strategic objectives • The North West Province achieved 19 out of the 26 targets(73%) • Invoices paid within 30 days were partially achieved (84%). • 41 posts out of 61 were filled in 2012/13 and 19 were filed in the first quarter of 2013/14 and this includes the natural attrition post which occurred during the financial year. • Although the North West Province was showing high volume of birth registrations beyond 30 days, the a comparison between the first quarter of 2012/13 and 2013/14 shows a significant improvement. • The Province managed to have all four outreach programmes as planned for 2012/2013 and already held the first outreach programme during the first quarter of 2013/14 in Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality. • All forums are active and assist in identifying the needy areas for DHA services. • The Department managed to hold a successful AFCON at Bafokeng Stadium in Bojanala District Municipality which was one of the identified hosting area.
STRATEGICOVERVIEW ANALYSIS CONT… • The Province was rated number one (1) at Leadership Forum session with regard to service delivery improvement and was awarded a trophy in November 2012. • Key highlights: • The North West Provincial Stake holders forum was launched during the first quarter of • 2013/14. • Ventersdorp small office is fully functional operating on daily basis. • Potchefstroom Local Office Medium was upgraded and the contract is nearing an end. • 98,5 % of officials in the Province signed their Performance Agreements for 2013/14 in • terms of PMDS policy and regulations. • 6 466 learners turning 16yrs and above writing grade 12 examination were issued with IDs in 2012/13.
STRATEGICOVERVIEW ANALYSIS CONT… • Key factors impacting on progress : • The human resource capacity in health facilities does not add up with the number of Health Centres connected for online birth registration. This means we need to prioritize health Centres appointments of personnel to enable us to meet our objective. • Inspectorate capacity constraints is a serious problem in most of our offices. Out of 18 (eighteen) • medium and large offices in the Province 4 (four) lack inspectorate personnel. • The North West Province was allocated with 11 (eleven) mobile offices , of these 8 • (eight) are fully operational while 3 (three) are in the process of being fitted with new satellite dish.
STRATEGICOVERVIEW ANALYSIS CONT… • Key factors impacting on progress cont…: . • Late Registration of Birth remains a challenge in the province especially in the poor rural and farming areas. However the province is implementing measures/programmes to reduce LRB through hospital connectivity, school visits and Mobile Units. All stakeholders in different communities assist in identifying areas and mobilization. Local radio stations are also utilized to disseminate information. For 2013/14 , the province targeted 172 areas for high impact outreach programmes. • Signing of leases on month to month basis impacts on buildings not being maintained by landlords. • Dependency on the National Department of Public Works makes it impossible for the Department to improve accommodation at Taung, Ganyesa, Itsoseng and to establish an office at Makapanstad.
