4.3 Overview of the DCS' allocation and measurable objectives across its seven programmes 4.3.1 The Administration programme provides the administrative, management, financial, information communication and technology, research, policy co-ordination and good governance support functions necessary for service delivery, good governance and accountability to oversight institutions. As in 2009/10 the programme has received the second largest allocation. The 14, 66% increase in the allocation in the current financial year and the increases in recent years are due mainly to the DCS' use of consultants for the provision of computerised systems, maintenance of information systems and for payment of legal, as well as internal and external audit services. As stated above, in the medium-term growth in expenditure will be mainly for the implementation of the OSD, inflation-related salary adjustments and allocations for the Master Information System. Measurable objectives: provision of effective and efficient financial and supply chain management; improving human resource capacity and management; and ensuring effective planning, resourcing, delivery, project management, monitoring, evaluation and reporting for improved service delivery. 4.3.2 The Security programme aims to provide safe and healthy conditions of incarceration that are consistent with human dignity for all inmates, thereby ensuring security for both personnel and the public. It remains the programme receiving the highest allocation - in 2010/11 34% of the total budget. It reflects a nominal increase of 3.66 % i.e. just over R5,1 billion, in real terms translating to a R141, 3 million (2,85%) decrease compared to 2009/10 allocation. The activities of this programme are labour intensive and employee compensation accounts for 98%of the programme's budget.
