3. Introduction to MPAT • The DPME introduced the Management Assessment Performance Tool in order to strengthen administrative procedures and system. The DPME is mandated to regularly assess the quality of generic management practices in Departments. The aim of the annual Management Performance Assessment Tool assessment is to get managers to regularly monitor the quality of their management practices and to implement improvement plans where necessary. • MPAT was developed in collaboration with the Department of Public Service Administration (DPSA) and the National Treasury, with additional inputs from the Office of the auditor General and the Office of the Public Service Commission. • In June 2011, Cabinet issued a mandate to DPME to implement management performance assessments for all national and provincial departments on an annual basis. • To date, 3 Management Performance Assessment Tool exercises were undertaken (2012, 2013, 2014).
