1. Programme 1: Administration The Administration programme provides strategic support and management services to the Ministry and Department. It has the lowest share of the total Departmental budget compared to other programmes. It has been allocated R167.5 million which is 2.8 per cent of the Departmental budget. This is attributable to the fact that the programme does not engage in the core functions of the Department, it coordinates and provides strategic support to the entire Department. The budget has increased by R41.7 million (31.1 per cent) in nominal terms or R34 million (27.05 per cent) in real terms. The programme is comprised of six sub-programmes increasing from four sub-programmes in 2010/11, namely: Minister; Management; Audit Services; Corporate Services; Financial Management and Office Accommodation. Among these sub-programmes, Financial Management and Corporate Services received bigger allocations of R62.7 million and R44.7 million respectively in 2011/12.
