QUESTION FOR WRITTEN REPLY
QUESTION NUMBER: 695
DATE FOR PUBLICATION: 19 APRIL 2013
Mr L Ramatlakane (Cope) to ask the Minister in the Presidency:
Performance Monitoring and Evaluation as well as Administration in the
Presidency:
Whether, with reference to the Management Performance Assessment Tool
(MPAT) report on results of assessment process for 2011-12, there are
any measures in place to monitor the standard of policies and systems to
ensure professional ethics in the 71% of departments that are being less
than fully compliant; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant
details?

REPLY:
Yes, the MPAT assessments are carried out on an annual basis, in order
to track whether or not departments are improving. The 71% (18% at level
1 and 53% at level 2) of departments that scored themselves as non-
compliant are therefore expected to develop and implement improvement
plans related to the standard on professional ethics.
Once a weakness in a particular management area has been identified
through applying the Management Performance Assessment Tool (MPAT), the
management of the department being assessed must put in place an
improvement plan to address the identified weakness.
