CHALLENGES Events hosted late at night posed risks for personnel and spectators,

especially in far out and unlit areas Reaction to events as they surfaced that stretched the capacity of the

Directorate Lack of staff in some units which hampers the implementation of

programmes. Service Level Agreements with Local Government with regard to office

space as well as for the implementation of programmes. Priority Wards Stakeholders do not submit their business plans timeously. Un-communicated change of plans by stakeholders Procurement processes hampers the delivery of services.

MONITORING CAPACITY Monitoring of the programme is lacking. However, the required staff to assist

with this is being reworked for submission to the HOD.

The Department under-spent on the Grants. The reasons for this is as follows:

Most of the programmes were not implemented due to the FIFA World Cup. The department implemented the integrated GPG holiday Programme and

most of the Human Resources were deployed to this activity. Since this took place during June/ July the expenditure will reflect during the second quarter.

REPORTS Funds are not transferred to other department or municipalities due to the

fact that the Grant does not make provision for this. The funds are utilised under Goods and Services.
