Yes, I have entered into a Performance Agreement with the President.
(a) The Performance Management Framework for Ministers is the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) for 2014-2019. The Performance targets and indicators are derived from the 14 Strategic Outcomes of the MTSF which government seeks to achieve.
The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation is responsible for reporting on Outcome 11 of the MTSF entitled “Creating a Better South Africa and contributing to a Better and Safer Africa in a Better World.”
The outcomes and targets constitute government’s Programme of Action (POA), against which performance is tracked and reported on a quarterly basis.
The Minister submits annually to Parliament an Annual Performance Plan (APP) and Strategic Plan (for the next 5 years), both are predicated on the National Development Plan (NDP), and are available on the Dirco website.
(b) to (e) Cabinet closely monitors the Implementation of the MTSF 2014-2019 through POA Quarterly 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 implementation are discussed, and recommendations to address bottlenecks are considered and approved.
