3. PART 1: APPROACH FOR DEVELOPING STRATEGIC AND ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLANS 3

4. Statutory compliance National Treasury regulations: Chapter 5 (Department) & Chapter 30 (Entities) – Prepare a strategic plan with a five year planning horizon – Table annual performance plans with a three year horizon consistent with the Medium Term Expenditure Framework Public Service regulations: Part 3 B Based on the strategic plan of the department, an executing authority shall determine the department’s organisational structure in terms of its core and support functions; grade proposed new jobs according to the job evaluation system; define the posts necessary to perform the relevant functions 4

5. Statutory compliance Presidency Policy framework for the Government-wide Monitoring & Evaluation System The accounting officer of a department or municipality, or the chief executive officer of a public entity, is required to establish a monitoring and evaluation system for the institution. Primary users of the M & E system will use these source systems to refine their planning and implementation processes. In the case of the Department the Balanced Score Card was selected as the model to use. National Treasury Framework for Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plan Alignment to the government outcomes oriented monitoring and evaluation approach (i.e. Programme of Action, Delivery Agreements ) and Strategic and Annual Performance Plans 5

29. Programme 1: Administration Sub- programme Indicators2013/14 target Rationale Financial Management Strategic objective 1.2: Effective and efficient internal control environment Percentage completeness of asset register 100per cent The department must obtain 100% accuracy as anything less will result in an understatement in the financial statements. The core business of the WTE is to ensure the development of infrastructure assets. These assets must be properly recorded and fair value calculated on a regular basis as this will effect the balance sheet and impact on the ability of the department to recover cost associated with the development of such assets thus impacting on the calculation of water tariffs for all consumers. Percentage reduction in irregular expenditure 100per cent 100% Adherence to SCM processes is a compliance requirement In order to stamp out any occurrences of non compliance to SCM prescripts and to foster a culture of 0% tolerance to non compliance Percentage of actual billing versus planned billing 100per cent Planned billing is a reasonable measurement due to the complexity of the inter-phase between systems and the registration of users All planned billing must be implemented in order to ensure that registered users are billed for usage Percentage of reduction in outstanding debt over 60 days 50per cent All planned billing must be implemented in order to ensure that registered users are billed for usage. The complexity and challenges with the recovery of debt is impacting on the WTE ability to recover 100% of the outstanding Debt of approximately R5bn Staff shortages and skills gaps are a major challenge. The WTE is in the process of building a fully functional team to address the gap Value of revenue generated per year to fund the refurbishment programme R848 mil The target is based on costed projects. The refurbishment of aging and ailing infrastructure is a key imperative in the management of strategic assets that have a direct impact on the economy Cost recovery will alleviate the pressure on fiscus 29

33. Rationale for infrastructure projects 33 PlanDesignConstruct Commission (closure) 25% Percentage per phase of multiyear projects Operate & maintain

34. Rationale for infrastructure projects Infrastructure projects are conducted in a highly regulated framework in accordance with statutory requirements – example NWA, WSA, NEMA, PFMA as well as the prescripts provided by National Treasury, Auditor-General and National Planning Department. Projects are often dependent on multi-year, inter-disciplinary, intra- and-inter-departmental factors. Budgets may originate solely from the fiscus or be a combination of public and private funds. Often the budgets fall into the defined mega- projects categories, which require specific reporting formats. Projects involve intricate stakeholder engagements. Testing of infrastructure models at a designated laboratory can take significant amounts of time. The targets and indicators are developed in terms of industry best practice and project management principles. 34

35. Rationale for infrastructure projects Projects Risks Construction or builders holidays / breaks Inclement weather causing delays Acquisition of land Labour interventions Skills availability Stakeholder or Interested and Affected Party (I&AP) engagements Environmental Authorisations Intra-and- inter-departmental co-operation Contractual arrangements Availability of resources, equipment, materials (example of unavailability of pipes in South Africa causing huge delays) 35
