Department of Infrastructure Development Annual Report 2021-2022

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | 2022

Programme 3 The Department was allocated a budget of R166 million for the year 2021/22. All EPWP programmes are implemented under this programme. This programme accounts for 5% of the overall budget allocation for the Department. There is an increase of R6.2 million on budget allocation compared to previous financial year. The increase is a result of more funding being allocated to recruitment of EPWP beneficiaries. The budget allocation for programme support is 16% and 84% for community development. The programme only managed to spend R142 million of the allocated budget of R166 million and this translates to underspending of R23 million. Late implementation of EPWP beneficiaries’ training programmes and recruitment are some of the reasons for underspending.

Funds shifted The shifting of funds requested are to alleviate overspending on items which were underfunded during the current financial year. The shifts are only cosmetic and comprise movements from underspending items to defray items that are overspending and will not affect the baseline of each programme.

Virements/roll overs

The virements requested are in line with the Public Finance Management Act (Act 1 of 1999, as amended) and within the prescribed 8% limit of the allocated budget of the programmes.

Programme 1 An amount of R37,4 million will be shifted to Programme 2 to defray over expenditure on compensation of employees which was due to filling of critical posts to capacitate the technical teams in the health institutions. Programme 2 The budget allocated to the programme will increase by an amount of R51,9 million which will be allocated to compensation of employees.
