The 2015/2020 Strategic Plan was tabled in Parliament on the 11th of March 2015.
Since its tabling, only the strategic objectives have been revised in line with the assessment feedback from the National Treasury and the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME).
The 2017/18 Annual Performance Plan was tabled in Parliament on the 8th of March 2017.

4. SCOPE OF THE DPSA’S WORK (1)
The Department plays a major policy role in establishing norms and standards for the Public Service, which ensure that service-delivery mechanisms, integrated systems and access, human resources, institutional development and governance initiatives are responsive to the needs of the citizens.
Due to the central role that it plays, the Department’s work therefore mainly involves and affects all national and provincial departments.
In future work also affects municipalities and through the implementation of the Public Administration Management Act of 2014, which seeks to establish a uniform system of public administration (all spheres of government) that will ensure that common norms and standards are achieved at all government levels.

5. SCOPE OF THE DPSA’S WORK (2)
Over the years the department has provided policy implementation support through the development and issuing of guidelines, frameworks as well as the provision of technical support to departments.
Over the MTEF the department will strengthen the monitoring of the implementation of its policies by national and provincial departments.
Another key focus will be the development of norms and standards to improve evenness and standardization of policy implementation as well as improve compliance

6. ALIGNMENT OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN TO THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (NDP) AND THE MEDIUM TERM STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK (MTSF)
The 2015/2020 Strategic Plan has been
informed by the NDP in particular Chapter 13 which
identifies key actions to be implemented
by the DPSA towards the realisation of:
“An efficient, effective and development oriented public service”
The NDP has been translated into the 2015/2019
MTSF which has identified key actions to be implemented and
monitored during the 5 year period.
The DPSA’s 2015/2020 Strategic Plan is also informed
by the work done by the Department as informed by the
Constitutional and Legislative Mandates.
The 2017/18 APP is aligned to the Medium Term Strategic
Framework (MTSF) and also includes other projects and interventions
linked to the DPSA’s Mandate and Policy Priorities.
