    2012-13 Annual Report: HR Management • Vacancy Rate

    • At the end of the 2012-13 financial year the department had 197 funded posts of which 173 were filled

    • Vacancy rate at the end of the reporting period was – 12% • Reasons for the non-achievement of the 10% vacancy rate target

    include: • Time taken to complete compulsory pre-employment screening (2

    to 3 months delay in some cases) • Delay in DPSA directive on implementing PSCBC Resolution 1 of

    2012 related to salary levels 9-10 and 11-12 • In certain high level skilled positions difficulties were experienced in

    recruiting appropriately skilled officials due to competiveness in the labour market

    • Internal promotions as well staff leaving the department had an impact on the vacancy rate – (11 internal promotions and 17 exits)

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 31

    2012-13 Annual Report: HR Management • Filling of Top Management Positions

    • During the reporting period the department successfully filled two Deputy Director General posts

    • The CIO position was vacant, however the post has recently been successfully filled

    • Turn Over Rate • In the 12 month period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 the

    department had 17 exits • Turn-over rate was 12% (17 out of 143) • Main reason for the exits was officials leaving due to promotions or

    pursuing other career opportunities

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 32

    2012-13 Annual Report: HR Management • Job Evaluation

    • 104 posts in the department were job evaluated • The high number is mainly due to the implementation of PSCBC

    Resolution 1 of 2012 (grading of jobs on salary level 9-10 and 11-12)

    • Employment Equity • The Employment Equity statistics at the end of the 2012-13 financial

    year were: • People with Disability: 2% (4 out of 173) • African: 79% (136 out of 173) • Women at SMS level 44% (16 out of 36)

    • The Department is currently focusing on recruiting more females and Africans in Senior Management Positions to ensure set targets are achieved as well as increasing the number of people with disability in the department more specifically in SMS

    Reasons for budget shifts and virements • All virements were done within the 8% limit for virements in terms of

    section 43(2) of the PFMA

    • Savings on compensation due to: • Difficulties in finding suitable candidates for some specialist positions,

    leading to recruitment processes taking longer than planned • A number of advertised positions were filled by successful internal

    candidates, resulting in new vacancies • Delay in implementation of Bargaining Council resolution regarding salary

    levels 9/10 and 11/12, which was budgeted for • Some delays in obtaining pre-employment security screening results,

    which delayed some of the appointments • Delay in implementation of HoD assessment programme (awaiting issuing

    of new policy by DPSA)

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 37

    Reasons for budget shifts and virements continued….

    • Under Programme 1, savings on compensation moved to ICT unit

    for additional software licences • Under Programme 2, savings on compensation moved to goods and

    services to fund the 20-year review and FOSAD research project on concurrent norms and standards

    • Some savings from Presidential Hotline (SITA and call costs lower than expected) moved to goods and services under OME branch, to fund the 20 year review and research on norms and standards for concurrent functions

    Expenditure

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 41

    Expenditure overview: explanation • Department spent 92% of its overall budget by the end of the 2012/13

    financial year • Increase in expenditure towards the end of the financial year largely due

    to expenditure on IT equipment, evaluations and research projects: • We were required to engage with SITA to plan our IT infrastructure

    requirements. These engagements were only finalised in June 2012 and the procurement of IT equipment could only start after that. This explains why our IT expenditure largely took place towards the end of the financial year

    • Evaluation programme is still relatively new - National Evaluation Policy Framework was approved in November 2011 and the 2012/13 national evaluation plan was only approved in June 2012 – this explains why expenditure on evaluations largely took place at the end of the financial year

    • The 2013/14 evaluation plan was approved in November 2012 and preparations for implementation started at the beginning of 2013. Therefore expenditure on evaluations will be more evenly spread over the 2013/14 financial year

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 42

    Expenditure overview: explanation continued… • DPME was requested to carry out 20 year review and norms and

    standards research project after the beginning of the financial year, and expenditure on these two projects has therefore largely taken place towards the end of the financial year

    • Reasons for under-spending of R13.9 million (8% of budget):

    • Funds committed but expenditure delayed: R7.8m (4.5%) • Delays in delivery of ICT equipment and finalisation of software

    development: R2.7m • R5.1m on 20-year review and Norms and Standards project

    • R2.7m (1.6%) in under-expenditure on compensation of employees (reasons provided earlier)

    • R3.4m (1.9%) savings on Hotline expenditure (SITA and call costs lower than expected)

    Expenditure

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 44

    Goods and Services • Hotline expenditure:

    • Hotline transferred to DPME from Presidency on 1 October 2011 • For 2012/13 budget DPME requested additional funding for Hotline for

    additional call centre capacity, increased services from SITA and for calls made to toll-free number • Additional call centre capacity was been put in place during 2012

    and additional services are being provided by SITA • Request for additional funding for 2012/13 was based on estimate from

    SITA and estimate of cost of toll-free number (at time of transfer, telecoms operators had not yet invoiced for toll-free number)

    • Actual SITA costs for increased call centre operators and increased services, and actual toll-free number costs have turned out lower than estimated (resulting in saving of R2.9 million against budget)

    Expenditure

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 46

    Capital Expenditure • DPME ICT infrastructure plan agreed with SITA in June 2012

    • Procurement of hardware only started in July 2012

    • Migration to ICT system completed by 31 March 2013. Migration to

    own telephone system completed by end of June 2013

    • R2.7m unspent on ICT projects due to: • R1.9m in orders placed - delays in delivery of equipment • R0.8m due to delays in finalisation of PoA, MPAT and FSD systems

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 47

    Conclusions on expenditure • DPME was a relatively new department

    • Approvals for evaluation programme only obtained after start of financial year

    • DPME has now settled into multi-year budgeting and expenditure with planning and preparations taking place the year before expenditure takes place • It is now possible to start evaluation and research projects early in the

    financial year, which will ensure a more even spread of expenditure • Corrective measures introduced to address under-expenditure:

    • For the budget for the 2013/14 financial year, the CFO has played a more direct role in engaging with programme managers to ensure that budgets are realistic

    • The Department has also introduced monthly budget and expenditure meetings to ensure more accurate budgeting and more rigorous expenditure monitoring in future

    • Therefore from 2013/14 DPME expenditure is more evenly spread over the financial year (as illustrated by slides further on)

    Additional financial information • The Department received R950,000 in aid assistance from GIZ. R944,000

    was spent on two projects related to M&E capacity building

    • The Department did not incur any irregular expenditure in the 2012/13 financial year apart from expenditure on finance leases, automatically condoned through Treasury practise note 5 of 2006/07

    • Fruitless and wasteful expenditure amounting to R65,000 was incurred on travel-related cancellations and no-shows. R37,000 was condoned because it occurred as a result of unforeseeable and unavoidable circumstances and R4,000 was recovered from officials. The remainder was still under investigation at the time of the report but has since been either condoned or recovered.

    2013 Expenditure: Conclusions

    • Monthly expenditure monitoring meetings have significantly improved expenditure planning and forecasting, although there is still room for further improvement

    • Department is on track to fully spend its budget by end of March 2014 and to avoid the large March spike which was experienced last financial year

    • Measures have been put in place to reallocate any possible savings to priority spending areas such as Evaluations and Municipal Performance Assessments

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 60

    Reasons AENE reprioritisation of funds • Compensation:

    • Savings under Programme 4 (HOD assessment unit) utilised to fund creation of new posts under Programme 2

    • Other shifts / virement due to movement of functions from Programme 3 to Programme 1 (GIS function) and Programme 2 (Data support function)

    • Goods and services: • During 2012/13 financial year DPME was asked by FOSAD to fund research on

    norms and standards for concurrent functions. Total project cost of R5.2m of which R1m was spent in 2012/13. Roll-over was not approved

    • R6.2m total cost of 20-Year review project. Roll-over of savings due to project delays in 2012/13 was not approved

    • Reprioritisation from Programme 3 (reduced expenditure on M&E research projects) and Programme 4 (expenditure on Hotline , HoD Assessments) was done to fund norms and standards research and 20-year Review projects under Programme 2

    • Capital assets: • Some back-office ICT projects will be delayed to 2014/15 financial year to

    fund norms and standards and 20-year review projects

    2014/15 - 2016/17 MTEF Budget

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 62

    MTEF: Baseline overview - Background • During the 2011 MTEC cycle the Department requested additional funding of R449

    million per annum to increase capacity and to establish regional offices to enable the Department to fully deliver on its mandate

    • National Treasury indicated that our additional funding request could not be met. The budget allocated to the Department to date is summarised below:

    11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17

    Allocation 96 202 174 159 192 745 202 013 210 738 223 442

    Increase - 81.0% 10.7% 4.8% 4.3% 6.0%

    Expenditure 92 841 160 236

    • During the 2012 MTEC cycle the Department reduced its MTEF projections by 1%, 2% and 3% respectively in line with instructions from Cabinet for all Departments to reduce expenditure

    • Going forward, DPME baseline increases by 4.8%, 4.3% and 6.0% respectively over the MTEF in nominal terms. The baseline therefore decreases in real terms given a projected CPI of around 5.5% and average cost of living increases of between 6% and 7%

  • The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation 63

    • Funding new or expanding priorities within a budget allocation that decreases in real terms required significant re-prioritisation of funding within the Department. The following strategic decisions guided this process: • Priority must be given to increasing capacity in Evaluations and to extend

    management performance and service delivery assessments to local government

    • Provision must be made to rent additional office accommodation for the Department

    • Internal audit capacity will be increased from 2014/15 • Outcomes support must be expanded to include two new outcomes from 2014 • A Citizen Based Monitoring programme must be established and rolled out

    • The Department followed a zero-based budgeting approach • Each sub-programme provided budget estimates based on planned APP targets

    over the MTEF • Targets and budgets were adjusted in line with the priorities mentioned above
