58. CONCLUSION
In 2015/16 the Department’s performance was at 47% in Quarter 1. In 2016/17 it started off at 62% for Quarter 1 and Performance for Quarter 2 has improved to 69%. Performance for Quarter 2 in the previous financial year 2015/16 was 58%.
The Department has committed to improve its performance and service delivery in 2016/17.
Monthly monitoring of performance has been instituted with monthly reports to the monthly monitoring and evaluation steering committee.
Monthly reports will be drawn from each Labour Centre and will be consolidated into Provincial and Branch Monthly reports to be deliberated at HO level by the M&E Steerco.
The Steerco is chaired by the Acting COO and reports monthly to EXCO chaired by the DG.
This will serve as an early warning and enabler to the implementation of the Annual Performance Plan.
There is a commitment to maintain a higher level of performance in this financial year with consequences for non-performance.

59. Thank You…
