80. THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS REPLIES:
Yes, all Ministers are subject to performance agreements with the
President.
(a) The Performance Management Framework for Ministers is the Medium Term
Strategic Framework (MTSF) for 2014-2019 which is the first 5-year
implementation plan of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030. The
performance targets and indicators are derived from the 14 Outcomes which
government seeks to achieve.
These outcomes and targets constitute governmentâs Programme of
Action (POA), against which performance is tracked and reported at least
on a quarterly basis. POA reports are publicly available on the
governmentâs website.
(b) to (e) Cabinet closely monitors the implementation of the NDP
2030/MTSF 2014-2019 through POA Reports. These reports are tabled before
an Implementation Forum of a Cluster of Ministers collectively
responsible for MTSF outcomes, and then submitted to Cabinet,
where progress is noted, bottlenecks to implementations are discussed, and
recommendations to address bottlenecks are considered and approved.
