Linking performance with budgets The department continued to transfer payments, which arose from obligations undertaken by South Africa at international, regional and subregional multilateral levels. The payments made by the department: • membership dues to organisations such as the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU), Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Commonwealth. • contributions to peacekeeping operations of the UN • meetings of state parties (parties to international treaties) of which South Africa is a member, and in which South Africa has participated • voluntary pledges that South Africa has made to international organisations for the purpose of humanitarian assistance, technical assistance, etc.
