Strategic goal 1: Key challenges
Key Challenges
Recommendations
Shortage of dedicated technical personnel such as climate change specialists to develop and implement climate change programmes
A directorate focusing on climate change issues has been established and personnel will be appointed to effectively perform this function in the next financial year.
Inability to successfully address all identified compliance cases due to shortage of suitable personnel to carry out the functions successfully
A directorate focusing on compliance, monitoring and enforcement has been established.
Inability to finalise all water use license backlogs due to capacity constraints
A project team that is fully resources has been established to ensure that all backlogs relating to water use license applications are eradicated during the next financial year.
The review of the National Water Resources Strategy, 2004 was not finalised, however, an inception report was completed.
This process will be carried over to the next financial year.

27. Strategic goal 6: Key challenges
Recommendations
Non-finalisation of the Strategy on the Management of HIV/AIDS in the workplace
The strategy will be finalised in the new financial year
Inadequate funding for the implementation of various information technology initiatives aimed at enhancing the Department’s capacity to delivery
