The department was allocated R321 million for the financial year 2010 - 2013 including allocation to the Commission on Gender Equality. The Commission for Gender Equality was allocated R165 million for the period 2010 - 2013. The final allocation to the department is R156 million for financial year 2010 - 2013. The department is in the process of motivating for a review of the allocation because the current allocation is going to make it difficult for the department to achieve critical capabilities and to deliver on its mandate.
