The PoEC further reported that reasons for its under-expenditure are as follows: . Fewer activities in the business plan were planned for the third quarter of the financial year because the emphasis is on examination preparations during October/November; this further affects the availability of the targeted groups (learners and educators) for the Life-skills HIV and AIDS programme; and . Transfer of conditional grant's money was done in tranches. Some of these transfers are made in October and it is not appropriate to conduct training during this time of the year owing to the end-of-the- year examinations. Implication is that money that is transferred during this time remains unspent due time table priorities.
