When asked by the Committee how it monitors the spending of the Grant funds, the PoEC explained that it had a monitoring and evaluation unit under its Strategic Planning Management component that was assisting in ensuring that projects were done according to plans (Business Plan, Annual Performance Plan and Operational Plan) and reporting was done monthly and quarterly. Added to that, In-Year-Monitoring was done internally to check the spending patterns against cash-flow projections. These reports were then sent to the provincial and national treasuries through the national Department of Arts and Culture (NDAC). Moreover, the PoEC submitted that monthly and quarterly reports were submitted to NDAC and quarterly reviews were also held with NDAC. The PoEC further explained that the Grant had its administration unit, which included a Project Manager, Acquisitions Officer and an Administrative Officer. With respect to achievements, the PoEC reported that, the design for the Mt Ayliff library had been finalised and a tender for constructing it had been advertised. On Mdantsane Library, the PoEC reported that the conflict with the community regarding the steering committee had since been resolved and the project was started in December 2010. The Committee was further informed that all tenders for containers; outdoor learning equipment and detection systems had been awarded. Furthermore, the PoEC reported that all 88 libraries targeted for ICT infrastructure had been cabled and provided with computers, internet and e-mail facilities.
