GDID ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25

Strategy to overcome areas of underperformance It is important to note that EPWP has achieved all planned indicators and that there was no area of underperformance recorded in the reporting period. As a measure to record achievements, the Department conducts internal validation sessions with EPWP to ensure that all reported numbers of beneficiaries are accurate and reliable. The approach of validation serves as a form of pre-audit sessions to prepare for the actual audit with GAS and AGSA. The Department continuously engages with sectors on a quarterly basis to improve reporting. Strengthen financial oversight and monitoring mechanisms to ensure better control and accountability over expenditure. Implement regular budget reviews, performance assessments, and internal audits to identify any deviations from planned expenditure and take corrective actions promptly. Performance in relation to Standardised Outputs and Output Indicators for Sectors with Concurrent Functions During the 2024/25 financial year, there were no standardised outputs and output indicators that the Department was reporting on.
