MandateThe mandate of the department is to promote, facilitate, coordinate and monitor the realization of the rights of women, children and people with disabilities.
WHY DO WE FIND OVERSPENDING AND NOT MEETING ALL THE TARGETS
4
Anomaly in the order of key planning processes:The 2011/12 ENE was prepared and submitted in
December 2010, without a strategic plan as a basis. The structure was approved by the MPSA in December
2010.The strategy was only approved in February 2011.Therefore there was no alignment between the budget
and the organogram.There was no sufficient provision for operational costs
eitherIt is assumed that the ENE was based on the allocation
that was used for the programmes that were incubated at the Presidency.
WHY DO WE FIND OURSELVES WHERE WE ARE, cont..
5
There was also no provision for Corporate Services.The department had to relocate from the
Presidency, and Corporate Services personnel had to be appointed.
The department also had to take over some of the international roles that were initially under DIRCO but related to Women, Children and People with Disabilities, which were not provided for in the budget.
There was pressure on the department to reduce the vacancy rate as this had a negative impact on the planned activities.
WHY DO WE FIND OURSELVES WHERE WE ARE, cont..
6
Although efforts have been made to align the strategic plan with the Annual Performance Plan, there is still a need to improve our performance information.
There are too many indicators.Some of the indicators and targets are not
SMART Some indicators are duplicated within the
different programmes.
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY & WHAT CAN STILL BE DONE TO CORRECT THE
SITUATION
7
• In hind sight it is noted that the appointments could have been deferred to the following years when there was sufficient funding.
• The DIRCO programmes could have been taken on condition that the accompanying budget is transferred to the department.
• In-year monitoring could have been used to allow the department and national treasury to detect the problem much earlier.
• There is a need to review the APP for 2012/13 to ensure that the indicators and targets are SMART.
• There is also a need to reduce the indicators to three strategic ones, and move the rest to operational.
WHAT WE CANNOT CHANGE / UNAVOIDABLES
8
• We cannot avoid remunerating the current employees regardless of them being appointed outside the allocated budget.
• We cannot avoid purchasing tools of trade for these employees despite the fact that they were not budgeted for.
• We are obligated to continue remunerating employees at higher notches as they were transferred from other departments.
• The MTEF process cannot be used to source the required funding as we have to do so within the current baseline allocation.
• The strategic plan is fixed for the next four years.
OUR FINDINGS
9
There is no sufficient capacity within the finance unit to fully implement the PFMA and Regulations.
The lack of internal controls both in finance and human resources contributed to the problem.
The lack of proper governance structures such as the internal audit function, risk management committee and audit committee also contributed.
The relocation from the Presidency was not well planned for and thus contributed to the problem.
SUCCESSES
10
The department was successful in holding consultations with the sectors to assess their expectations from the department.
In this regard we ensured an acceptable level of visibility where there was previously none.
We also ensured meaningful participation and representation at international fora in relation to women, children and people with disabilities.
Partnerships were also established with development agencies.
A national action plan for children has been developed

Narrative explanation on Compensation of Employees
04/20/2329
At present the current funding of R57.126m is not enough to pay the actual incumbents in the department.
A consultative process was done to re-look at the shifting of funds from Goods & Services to Compensation within al four the programmes with the minimal effect on the delivery of targets and outcomes.
This matter has also been addressed in the MTEF (Medium Term Expenditure Framework) inputs as the compensation expenditure has a carry through effect on the budget and in the AENE (Adjusted Estimations of National Expenditure).
A moratorium has been placed on the filling of posts, including two critical posts that were vacated (CFO and Special Advisor to Minister).
As part of addressing the funding requirements, the department is working together with National Treasury on a turnaround strategy/plan to ensure that the financial requirements and considerations are been addressed.

Narrative explanation to Goods & Services

The spending patterns on Programme 1 is rather high due to the execution of the relevant duties in the Ministry as well as the payments on telecommunication and office accommodation. On the other Programmes, the spending patterns is low, as the expenditure is linked to projects in various times during the financial year.
All procurement of goods and services must be accompanied by a cash flow statements as supplied by the financial unit. This is part of the cost containment measures that has been put in place to ensure that the budget is monitored.
Monthly reporting is submitted to the relevant programme and responsibility managers to ensure accountability and responsibility of the funding.
Additional funding requests has been made in the AENE (Adjustment of Estimates of National Expenditure) to address present shortfalls that are unforeseeable and unavoidable.

As part of the AENE process, the under spending on Programmes 2 to 4 will be shifted to Programme 1 to decrease the overspending, however the total amount on Compensation is not enough to pay the present incumbents.
The department has requested additional funding through the AENE process on the shortfall of compensation of employees with a carry through effect in the MTEF process,
As part of the revised inputs on the MTEF process, funding will be shifted from Goods & Services to Compensation to augment the under funding on Compensation of Employees.

with National Treasury to remedy the current challenges.

The high spending on Programme 1 is due to the Ministerial expenses to perform the relevant obligations (travelling between Pta and CT), the spending on Office Accommodation of the present building, Communication (Telephones and Cellular phones).
Limits have been implemented on Cellular phones as well as the land lines. The present Telecommunication policy is revised to decrease limits on cellular telephones, however due to the travel of staff, the use of cellular telephones will be high.
In terms of international travel, delegations are limited to the absolute minimum to decrease expenses.
The expenses for non employees are also limited and the delegations are minimised as part of the cost containment measures.
The department is very careful in the monitoring of expenditure as the commitment given is that the department will not over spend in the 2012/13 financial year.

The spending on capital goods is limited to the essential needs and on replacement of equipment only.
The biggest project will be the infrastructure for physical security to conform to the minimum standards for government building.
Additional funding has been requested through the AENE process to replace the borrowed IT equipment from the Presidency as the department is running independently since April 2012.
