5.1 The Committee has observed that the Department's medium-term strategy has been aligned to the new and established mandate. The new mandate of the Department included those priorities emanating from the macro- reorganisation, State of the Nation Address and Cabinet Lekgotla. The Committee noted that the Department was however in the process of reviewing its strategy in order to identify gaps and to reprioritize its resource allocation. In this regard the Department will hold an operational review session to ensure the alignment of strategy and its operational plan for 2010/11.
