Remedial Action is required to avoid this. Certainty, that targets were not achieved. Major 0% - 49% (less than 50%) Remedial Action and Urgent Intervention is required. For targets on budget expenditure and invoices paid within 30 days the achievement must be 100%. Departmental Performance = No. of targets achieved x 100 Total no of targets set 3 STRATEGIC GOALS The Department has identified seven strategic goals it seeks to achieve in the five-year period of its Strategic Plan (2015-20) and beyond: 1. Foster corporate governance and service excellence. 2. Improve land administration for integrated and sustainable growth and development. 3. Promote equitable access to and sustainable use of land for development. 4. Promote sustainable rural livelihoods. 5. Improved access to services. 6. Sustainable rural enterprises and industries. 7.

Cumulative projections: Q1 = 23% >> Q2 = 46% >> Q3 = 71% >> Q4 = 100%. 6 PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS Programme Performance Comparisons (% Targets Achieved) 100% 78% 67% 42% 38% 67% 40% 33% 29% 25% 21% PROG 1 PROG 2 PROG 3 PROG 4 Q2 PROG 5 21% PROG 5.1 (LRD) 20% 20% PROG 5.2 (LTA) Mid-year 7 YEAR-ON-YEAR PERFORMANCE COMPARISON 59% 56% 44% 44% 36% 30% 26% 25% 22% 20% 19% 2012/13 2013/14 Achieved 19% 2014/15 Partially Achieved 2015/16 Not Achieved Compared to the past three FYs, the Dept. is on an upward trend of 44%, which equals its highest performance achieved for Q2, last met in the FY 2012/13. The performance also represent an improvement on the expected Q2 average YOY performance of 29% (see next slide). 8 YEAR-ON-YEAR AVERAGE QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE 55% 49% 33% 29% Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 The graph shows typical average YOY performance across the 4 quarters (over the past three FYs). Historically the Dept. has had a strong Q1 performance (50%+), though Q1 of current FY (33%) was an exception. Trends show that Q2 is consistently a slow performing quarter (why is this?), though as per previous slide, Q2 of current FY represent the best achievement for Q2. To make up in quarters 3 and 4, the Dept. needs to over-achieve in order to address any shortfalls (which will count towards Cumulative and Annual achievements). 9 PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION PER PROGRAMME PROGRAMME 1: ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMME PURPOSE Provide strategic and logistical support in the form of executive services, corporate services and the acquisition of vehicles for departmental use. Oversee departmental capital works.

The following offices experienced backlogs in registration: PMB, CPT & JHB which affected turn-around times. The other reason is that some deeds remain in the DRS tracking system for longer than 60 days, making it appear as though offices make fewer deeds available for registration. None Offices that receive high volumes of lodgments increase resource capacity in affected critical operational sections. Cumulative performance (Q1 & Q2 507,490 73% Correct this problem through DRSS system configuration and ensure that deeds reflecting in the Deeds Office Tracking System (DOTS) longer than 60 days are cleaned up.

Concerted efforts from all stakeholders is required to turn around the current status quo. All Action plans and/or Turn-around strategies developed in Q1 and Q2 needs to be fully implemented, tracked and monitored. Branches needs to take pro-active action in ensuring that all POEs are inline with the TIDs to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth during verifications and validations. 44 THANK YOU 45
