10. 10 STRATEGY TO TRANSFORM THE DEPARTMENT 2011 - 2014  Achieve and maintain a clean, secure National Population Register.  Effective implementation of proactive, risk-based and efficient management of immigration.  Ongoing transformation of DHA values as embodied in its organizational and service delivery approach, practice and capacity.  Effective harnessing of technology to support the achievement of the above priorities.  Develop state and civil society partnerships in support of the service delivery and security mandates of the DHA.

11. 11 Overview of Progress (1) Continuous improvement of service to the people 2009 - 2013 The number of health facilities connected for online registration of births and deaths increased from 118 in March 2009 to 334 in March 2013. From March 2011 to March 2013 there was a 20.4% increase in the number of births registered within 30 days – that is from 500 524 to 602 530 births. 93% of passports that were applied for through the live capture process are delivered within 13 working days. There has been a steady expansion of the footprint of Home Affairs from a total of 273 frontline office in March 2006 to a total of 403 in March 2013. A Corporate Accounts Unit has been established to service projects and institutions of national importance such as Eskom, with turnaround times of 2 weeks achieved.

12. 12 Overview of Progress (2) Continuous improvement of service to the people 2009 - 2013 There has been substantial progress has been with regard to Civic Services in terms of securing the NPR; ensuring all citizens are registered; and delivering services according to acceptable standards. The facilitation of large volumes of persons through ports of entry and support for large international events is reasonably efficient and secure. Permitting largely eradicated a backlog of temporary residence permits; and there were some efficiency gains in deportations and in the adjudication of asylum seekers. With regard to organisational transformation, the foundations were laid for the modernisation project to be rolled out. Also, systems were put in place for the devolution of HR and finance functions to provinces. The Learning Academy began to play a significant role in training and staff development, having established accredited and relevant courses. The DHA facilitated the Second Conference of African Ministers responsible for Civil Registration in Durban, South Africa, which was of strategic importance.

13. 13 Overview of Challenges (3) Reliance on outdated systems that do not proved accurate management information remains a serious obstacle to improving service delivery and audit outcomes. This will largely be addressed through the Modernisation Programme. There are multiple challenges in managing a complex and dynamic immigration environment. These range from policy and legislation to capacity and operations and involve many role players and dependencies on other departments. Historically the priority has been on securing the identity and status of citizens, but more focused attention is now being paid to immigration. The issue of dependencies in general impacts on performance against objectives, such as reliance on the Department of Public Works. Efforts are being made to strengthen working relations while seeking creative solutions. Aligning and strategically managing the planning and budgeting cycle is a challenge, including HR planning, and steps are being taken to effect improvements going forward.

14. 14 OVERALL PERFORMANCE AGAINST (51) TARGETS ACHIEVED (100%) Targets fully achieved. PARTIALLY ACHIEVED (41% - 99%) Good chance of achieving in 2013-2014 if there are effective interventions. NOT ACHIEVED (1% - 40%) Little chance of achieving in the 2013- 2014 financial year.

16. 16 PERFORMANCE AGAINST STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Outcome 1: Secured South African citizenship and identity

17. 17 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE (1.1) To ensure that registration at birth is the only entry point for South Africans to the National Population Register (NPR ) SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE 602 530 births were registered within 30 days: The target was 594 000 births. 85 health institutions were connected and are operational: The target was 80.

18. 18 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE (1.2) To issue Identity Documents (IDs) to citizens 16 years of age and above SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE 41 876 learners were issued with IDs. The target was to issue 100% of South African learners who applied. The main problem was a lack of an accurate method of measuring achievement. There is now an instrument in place in terms of a field for capturing the information. Another challenge was to gain access to the database of scholars and visit schools on scheduled dates. The existing partnership with the Department of Basic Education is being strengthened to ensure this happens across all provinces.

19. 19 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE (1.3) To ensure the registration and identification of all South African citizens, foreign residents, refugees and asylum seekers to enhance the integrity and security of identity SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE National Identity System: The new system was not designed as the contract with Cuba was not finalised. However, South Africa and Cuba signed an agreement to enable cooperation Live capture for passports and IDs: This was not rolled out to 167 offices mainly because the sub-contracting agreement with SARS was not concluded in 2012/ 2013. Pilot of smart card: Service provider tested sufficiently with 100 cards. Existing EDMS records retrieved: Old system successfully resuscitated. E-permitting and Visa system specifications approved: Specifications finalised.

20. 20 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE (1.3) To ensure the registration and identification of all South African citizens, foreign residents, refugees and asylum seekers to enhance the integrity and security of identity) SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE (Continued) 100% of ID duplicates for clients coming forward resolved within 12 weeks was the target. The main challenge was two persons sharing one ID number as this requires both persons to come forward. The Department published lists in the media; made announcements; and obtained contact details from various sources. Only a few persons could be contacted or came forward. Less than 2 000 out of about 19 000 cases. A policy and strategy has subsequently been approved and is being implemented to take decisive action deal with this challenge..

21. 21 PERFORMANCE AGAINST STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Outcome 2: Immigration managed effectively and securely in the national interest including economic, social and cultural development

22. 22 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (2.1) To ensure a secure, responsive and flexible immigration regime in support of national security, priorities and interests. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE An immigration policy document was submitted to Minister for approval. Additional research is being conducted to further develop the document. A Visa Facilitation Service (VFS) was rolled out at three (3) high volume foreign missions: Angola (1) and the DRC (2).

23. 23 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (2.2) To implement effective and efficient asylum seeker and refugee management strategies and systems SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE Status Determination Committees (SDC), with a minimum of 2 sub- committees were not established as planned. In the reporting period the main reason was a delay in implementing the 2011 Refugees Amendment Act. A strategy and plan was not developed for the relocation of existing refugee reception offices near borders because of unresolved policy issues related to court cases. One refugee reception office (office accommodation) was not established along the borderline because the Department of Public Works (DPW) was unable to procure a site. A site options have subsequently been identified by a service provider.

24. 24 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (2.3) To facilitate the efficient movement of bona fide travellers to support national interests and priorities, and to prevent and prohibit the movement of undesirable persons in the interest of national security SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE The development and approval of Infrastructure standards for ports of entry was not finalised. Specialist assistance was required and is being procured. An SLA was not signed with Department of Public Works (DPW) for implementation of infrastructure improvements at ports of entry. Engagements are still ongoing while pursuing an alternative approach. Improved residential and office infrastructure was not provided at 6 ports of entry. The main reason was delays with DPW processes and development of standards. Interim plan being rolled out and approval requested to appoint a service provider.

25. 25 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (2.4) To contribute towards realising a positive skills migration trend of around 50 000 migrants annually SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE Permitting reporting system developed and tested to differentiate between critical and other skills. A basic system was put in place in terms of added fields on database, but full implementation taking longer than expected. Strategy developed and approved by DHA to facilitate the attraction and retention of foreign migrants with critical skills. The larger national strategy is not the responsibility of the DHA but several departments. The role of the DHA is to facilitate via the permitting system and improvements have been made, such as the Corporate Accounts unit dealing with families as a unit.

26. 26 PERFORMANCE AGAINST STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Outcome 3: A service that is efficient, accessible and corruption free

27. 27 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (3.1) To transform the culture of the organization in support of securing identity, citizenship and international migration SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE Strategy to reposition the DHA as a learning organisation.

28. 28 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (3.2) To ensure ethical conduct and a zero tolerance approach to corruption SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE Reports, compiled on security evaluations performed on 4 (four) processes. Security evaluations performed on processes to identify gaps and risks at Missions, Ports of Entry, Supply Chain Management and Deportations. DHA database, which provides integrated reports on counter corruption cases, accessible to two JCPS cluster departments to strengthen counter corruption: Negotiations with role players took a lot of time. The database was designed and a tender is in process. A draft concept paper is under consideration on the role of DHA in the fighting corruption and strengthening the security of identity and immigration systems. Initial research has been conducted.

29. 29 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (3.3) To obtain a clean audit report SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE An unqualified audit report for 2012/13 financial year was not received.. 100% of valid invoices settled within 30 days of certification and approval. There was a substantial improvement mainly due to decentralisation of procurement and payment to Provinces and the roll out of LOGIS. [QUOTE % IMPROVEMENT] Additional steps are being taken to tighten and improve procedures. A Trading Entity was not established and operational for all civic and immigration services. The governance and financial management framework was identified and established to provide guidance over management of the trading account. However, due to the complexities of operating the account it was agreed with National Treasury that implementation should be deferred.

30. 30 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (3.4) To ensure secure, effective, efficient and accessible service delivery to clients SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE Feasibility study commenced on a model for acquiring permanent accommodation for the DHA and refurbishment of all state owned buildings.
