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 />
