86
All foreign relations advice
is timeous and useful for the
Department’s users
95%. Reason for deviation:
The communication from
Services and Divisions to
assist DFR with the updating
of the cooperation plans
prevents DFR from delivering
the required service to the
DOD. The cooperation
did, however, contribute
significantly in terms of
the advice given to DOD
members in dealing with
foreign visitors or when going
abroad.
Risks Mitigation Action Actual Achievement
To realign the DFR structure in order
to be able to function optimally and be
able to structure it according to strategy
and functions
To have ministerial instruction on the
DFR structure implemented
Existing DA offices are still operated at
funding levels of several years ago and
no additional funds have been allocated
for increase in living conditions
DOD organisational and structural
development process had to address
the issue with its implementation plan
It occasionally happens that the late
submission of mission accounts
funds the shortage in the operational
expenses
Submission was made to the DPBEC
to address the problem and an
additional Rm9.7 was allocated to
DFR in November 2007
SUBPROGRAMME PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Not achieved. The placement of DFR in the
DOD and the structural alignment is still
outstanding.
Achieved.
The Chief of Logistics manages the Property Management Subprogramme within the Joint Support
Programme. The budget is reflected in the Administration Programme.
Measurable Objectives
The management of the payment of accommodation charges, leases and municipal services as a direct
result of the devolution of a portion of the budget of the National Department of Public Works to the
national departments.
