15. HIV / AIDS - VARIANCE EXPLANATIONS
3 Project Managers were appointed by end of May 2008 with assumption of duty during June 2008
Business Plan was submitted to National Department of Education for approval
Subsequent to this a new format was developed and the Province was requested to resubmit
Approval for this plan in the new format was received on 1 July 2008 which will now allow for spending to accrue
Spending in the 2nd quarter is also not expected to be significant – but given the plans and HR capacity now available expenditure will materialise and be significant by the 3rd quarter and year end
