The outputs in this programme include the improved M&E systems in national and provincial departments. The performance indicator for these outputs will be the percentage of national and provincial departments which have carried out performance assessments (MPAT) for consecutive years. In the 2012/13 MTEF the department has used percentages as targets to measures performance of different programmes for 2013/14 and 2014/15. Further to that, the Committee was concerned about the translation of targets into percentages instead of actual figures in the Annual Performance Plan (APP) and Strategic Plan as this was not in line with the framework or guidelines of the APPs and Strategic Plans.
