OVERVIEW In this organisational performance report, the Department presents its Quarter 2 validated and Quarter 3 preliminarily non-financial

performance report for 2016/17 to reflect on the status of achievements against the milestones that were planned to be achieved during first

three quarters for the 2016/17 financial year. The Q2 performance has increased from 69% which was recorded at preliminary to 84% at

validated. Some of the indicators that contributed to the increase are: Risk-based Annual Plan implemented: the outstanding Q1 audits were

finalized and the relevant documents were submitted, National REDD+ Strategy approved, Environmental impact assessments conducted and

smallholders supported.

In order to improve the quality of advice given to management to enhance decision-making, reporting has to be done on a monthly basis

against all planned targets, including those activities that may not have specific milestones to be achieved in this quarter. This is critical in order

to identify possible bottlenecks early enough to enable the Department to implement corrective actions that will ensure that all of the milestones

are achieved. Certain deliverables contained in the Strategic Plan are outside the control of the DAFF Branches and their reporting is

dependent on the reporting processes of provincial departments, and this poses a threat to the achievability of all targets. This is more

prevalent in the FSAR and FNRM branches.

Coordination and provision of leadership by DAFF technical branches to transversal indicators is an area that need urgent attention as most

repeat audit findings are on this area due to incomplete information been reported and lack or insufficient evidence provided from provinces.

The urgency of having functional working groups between national and provincial departments cannot be over emphasized to improve not only

efficiency between programme planning and project planning, but also DAFF’s ability to fully account for usage of resources towards its

service delivery plans undertaken at various levels. 41 out of 61 Quarter 3 milestones have been met resulting in a 67% completion rate.
