Annual Report 2023-2024

Programme 3 This programme forms part of the key priorities of the province since it develops and empowers communities. The aim is to improve the skills of the beneficiaries and empower them to be self-sufficient after they have exited the program. Two new programmes were introduced in the year 2023/24, i.e., vacant sites and facilities and health maintenance aimed at improving the skills of the beneficiaries. EPWP was allocated a budget of R272 million for the year 2023/24 compared to the previous financial year’s budget of R149 million. The increase in the allocation is because of the two new programmes and training services that were introduced in the current financial year. This programme accounts for 7,2% of the overall budget allocation for the Department. The programme spent 100% of the current financial year’s budget compared to 83% spent in the previous financial year. Programme support spent 99.9% and Community Development spent 100% of their allocated budget.

Funds Shifted The shifting of funds requested is to alleviate overspending on items that were underfunded during the current financial year. The shifts are only cosmetic and are movements from underspending items to defray over-expenditure on another item and will not affect the baseline of each programme.

Program 1 – An amount of R28 million under goods and services within sub-programmes has been implemented.

Program 2 – An amount of R33 million from CAPEX will be shifted to maintenance and repairs to defray possible over expenditure. An amount of R2 million under goods and services will be shifted to compensation of employees shifted within sub-programmes to defray possible overspending. A shift of R183 million from rates and taxes to travel and subsistence, security services, operating lease, and fleet services has been implemented. A R10 million shift from Machinery & Equipment to other overspending items in programme. Program 3 – An amount of R4 million within programme support under goods and services has been shifted to cover possible overspending within the sub-programme. The virements requested are in line with the PFMA and within the prescribed 8% limit of the allocated budget of the programs. Program 1 – An amount of R84 million will be moved through a virement from Program 2 under Rates and Taxes to Program 1 Goods and Services to cover legal costs. A virement of R25 million has will been moved from Programme 1 under compensation of employees to Programme 2 to cover the overspending on the compensation of employees in programme 2 and 3.
