Strategy to overcome areas of underperformance The Department is enforcing the payment of rentals by sending letters of demand to non-compliant tenants. The introduction and implementation of the Property Optimisations Strategy has allowed the Department to deal with issues related to unused properties. One of the strategies devised by the Department is to ensure that all land related issues are resolved before projects reach tender stage. The illegal occupation of government properties is dealt with through legal processes, which include eviction notices. The Department continues to engage with client departments regarding timely transfer of funds for infrastructure projects. The submission request to allocate funds for maintenance is underway. The Centralised Provincial Contractor Performance System will assist in managing the performance of contractors, and through this system, vetting of contractors will be done and blacklisting of poor-performing contractors will be undertaken. Conduct regular performance reviews to assess progress towards budgetary targets and identify areas for improvement. Use performance data and key performance indicators to track performance trends over time and inform decision-making. Prioritise resource allocation based on the strategic objectives and priorities of the organisation.

Performance in relation to Standardised Outputs and Output Indicators for Sectors with Concurrent Functions

4.3 Programme 3: Expanded Public Works Programme

The purpose of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) is to coordinate the implementation of programmes and strategies that lead to the development and empowerment of communities and develop strategies to promote enterprise development. This encompasses the provincial coordination of the EPWP. The EPWP is a nation-wide programme aimed at the reorientation of the public sector spending in favour of projects that create more work opportunities. Provincial departments and municipalities are, therefore, required to assume responsibility of planning, design, and implementation of job creation initiatives within their departments and municipalities. Reporting of job creation on the EPWP reporting system and all budgetary and project management principles therefore is still the responsibility of each reporting body. Outcome 5, Poverty relief and improved employability of programme beneficiaries relates to Programme 3.
