Summary of Challenges The programmes are still structured as per the dti’s strategic objectives and the report is therefore aligned to the dti’s strategic objectives, going forward we will be aligned to the new mandate Delays in the transfer of functions from the dti to the Department of Small Business Development In certain instances functions were transferred without funds. Budget was centrally controlled with Intra-transfer of funds within the dti and this had a bearing on the expenditure patterns and allocation. Own budget only given this year Other functions were dependent on the dti capacity which is centralised through particular business units e.g. research, procurement, etc The transitional process affected delivery
