8.5 Cross Cutting Strategic Goals and Objectives<br />
In order to be implemented the objectives <strong>of</strong> the <strong>strategic</strong> plan must be assigned to<br />
specific Directorates within the De<strong>part</strong>ment, and the appropriate budget and resources<br />
must be allocated for the necessary activities to be undertaken. In some cases,<br />
however, <strong>strategic</strong> objectives relate to the work <strong>of</strong> many Directorates and functions<br />
within the De<strong>part</strong>ment and as a result, they are not easily allocated organizationally or in<br />
respect to budgetary programmes. Some <strong>of</strong> these crosscutting objectives are outlined in<br />
