GDID ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25

Linking performance with budgets In the 2024/2025 financial year, Programme 3 recorded a total expenditure of R285.725 million against a final appropriation of R286.937 million, resulting in a net under-expenditure of R1.212 million. This compares to the 2023/2024 financial year, where the programme fully utilised its budget of R272.421 million, with no variance. The sub programme level breakdown and variances are discussed below: Sub-programme: Programme Support • 2024/2025: Appropriation – R61.590 million; Actual – R60.378 million; Under-expenditure – R1.211 million • 2023/2024: Appropriation – R43.502 million; Actual – R43.497 million; Under-expenditure – R5,000 Sub-programme: Community Development • 2024/2025: Appropriation – R225.347 million; Actual – R225.347 million; Over-expenditure – No Variance • 2023/2024: Appropriation – R228.919 million; Actual – R228.924 million; Over-expenditure – R5,000 The over-expenditure in Community Development was largely due to increased activity under job creation projects, including the rollout of training stipends and wage payments. Additionally, this sub-programme contains the allocation for the EPWP Conditional Grant, which was fully utilised for its intended purpose, supporting the Department’s job creation mandate. Contribution of Expenditure to Outputs Spending under Programme 3 significantly contributed to the achievement of planned outputs. The full utilisation of the EPWP Conditional Grant ensured that short-term employment opportunities were provided as planned, with additional beneficiaries supported due to expanded project uptake. Training and development activities were enhanced, improving the employability of participants beyond their EPWP involvement. This reflects the programme’s strong performance in supporting inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. Summary and Mitigation Measures The small net variance of R948,000 will be addressed during year-end financial processes. Journal entries will be processed to correct intra-programme misallocations and reflect accurate spending patterns aligned with budget intent. These adjustments, along with continued improvement in financial planning and project execution, will ensure ongoing alignment between budget, expenditure, and service delivery outcomes under the EPWP.
