PROGRAMME 1-5: OVERALL ACHIEVEMENT
The presentation covers a report for quarter 4 of 2016/17 financial year.
It also covers the annual performance per programme.
The graph on the left is for Q4 and the one on the right is for Annual performance.

3. Q4 OVERALL DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE
There were 23 targets to be achieved by the Department during the quarter under review.
In total, 19 targets were achieved and 4 not achieved. This amounts to 82% achievement. When achievement of 3 targets that were carried over from previous quarters are included, the performance changes to 85% (26 targets: 22 Achieved: 4 Not Achieved).
Annual Achievements: 82% [23 out of 28].

4. ANNUAL DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE
Annual Performance: 2016/17
Annual Achievements: 82% [23 out of 28].

5. PROGRAMME 1: ADMINISTRATION
Q4: There were 3 targets to be achieved during the quarter under review. The training target was achieved in the previous quarters, making the non-achievement in Q4 insignificant. Thus, in reality, only 1 target (creditor payment age) was not achieved. The achievement against the target carried over from Q2 is not reflected in the graph. It will be reflected in the Annual achievement.
Annual: 3 targets achieved against the planned 4.

1.4. Creditor payment age (days) 30
>30
Invoice disputes between SRSA and service providers affect the overall achievements of the target. Although target was not achieved the majority of the invoices were processed within 30 days.
A system of isolating disputed invoices will be put in place to ensure that such invoices do not affect the overall invoice payment age. Service providers will also be engaged herewith.

8. PROGRAMME 1: OVERALL ACHIEVEMENT
Achievements:
The moderation of performance assessments that was partially achieved in quarter 2, was completed in the period under review.
The client satisfaction survey report was presented to management and consequently approved. The survey results will go a long way in assisting with decision-making.
Challenges:
Creditor payment age of 30 days: Even though the majority of the invoices are finalised within 30 days, overall achievement of this indicator is still a challenge. However, resolving this challenge is one of our priorities because of the implications that non-adherence has, especially to small businesses.
The Department is working on a system of isolating disputed invoices to ensure that such invoices do not affect the overall invoice payment age, until such time that they are corrected by the service provider.

9. PROGRAMME 2: ACTIVE NATION
There were 9 targets to be achieved by the programme during the quarter under review. 3 targets were achieved and 6 targets were not achieved. However, annual targets of 4 of the indicators have already been achieved in the previous quarters. Therefore, in reality, only 2 targets were not achieved.
Annual Achievement: 8 out of 10

14. PROGRAMME 2: OVERALL ACHIEVEMENT
Achievements:
Targeted participants were exceeded. This is because mass-based events such as the Big Walk provides open access to participants. While at planning stage a particular target may be set, the mobilisation efforts around the event and consequent interest from the public.
Challenges:
The Autumn Championships could not be held in Q4 due to financial constraints. The event was held in 1st quarter of 2017/18 and will be reported during the 1st quarter reporting period.
Because of delayed reporting, the reported quarter 4 information excludes final verified performance evidence. The Department is undertaking a verification process to clean up reports that provinces have submitted.
However, where achievement is reported, this is because the targets were met following the verification of quarter 3 performance information. Therefore, the final verification of performance information will only increase the reported numbers of achievement.
A serious challenge is with indicator 2.6: This indicator is targeted at 1.3 million participants. We have noted that the problem starts at planning, where provinces target low in order to achieve their targets, while their consolidated achievements do not make up the national target.

15. PROGRAMME 3: WINNING NATION
There were 5 targets to be achieved by the programme. 6 targets were achieved. One target (a q3 target) is reported on, in Q4 because it was not reported on, in q3. This achievement is not reflected in the graph; but is included in the Annual achievement.
Annual Achievement: 6 out of 7

24. PROGRAMME 4: OVERALL ACHIEVEMENT
Achievements:
All targets, bar 1, were achieved.
Where the ‘actual’ for the period under review is lower than the target, but reported as ‘achieved’, the reason is because the target was met in quarter 3 or the ‘actual’ despite being low in quarter 4, has led to the achievement of the annual target.
Challenges:
National federations entering into transformation barometer agreements with the Minister: The target hereof was not achieved because of lengthy consultations.
The Department has prioritised the signing of these agreements because of their impact on transformation assessments.

Achievements:

The Department is looking into how to ensure the maintenance of the facilities register, so that we do not later on, have a need to undertake another count.
What is to follow is a fully-fledged facilities audit. Because of funding challenges, we have targeted the completion of 1 audit per financial year.
The Department continued supporting municipalities with technical aspects of facility construction.

28. Conclusion
WE THANK THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE FOR THE CONTINUED SUPPORT TO OUR DEPARTMENT.
