The priorities of the Department are in line with the National Development Plan's (NDP) objectives which advocate for a Government that is accountable and transparent. The Department has been working with the National Planning Commission (NPC) on developing an implementation plan for the NDP. The main focus area for the 2013/14 financial year will be on streamlining the NDP into the work of Government. The Department has started the process of drafting the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) for the new electorate cycle. In partnership with the NPC, the Department will embark on a review of delivery agreements required to achieve the 12 outcomes.
