11.2. Strategic Goals and Objectives with Sub-Programme and Chief Directorate
Assignment
All strategic goals and objectives must fit within designated sub-programmes to be
funded, and they must be assigned to Directorates and Chief Directorates responsible
for their implementation. In order to present a more comprehensive overview of
objectives as they are assigned to sub-programmes and to the respective Directorates,
Table 6 is presented as a summary. It should be noted here that each objective may be
assigned to multiple sub-programmes and to more than one Directorate or Chief
Directorates. When objectives are further broken down into measurable objectives and
performance measures, however, then assignments may be made with a bit more
specificity.
Special emphasis must be placed on the manner in which different Directorates
collaborate in order to undertake particular assignments related to a single strategic
objective. This is necessary so as to avoid duplication, confusion and inefficient use of
available resources.
In order to acquire a fuller understanding of the context and circumstances of particular
initiatives to be undertaken, it will be instructive to reflect on Directorate assignments in
reviewing the various sub-programmes which will be described later in this chapter.
