Question NW3412 to the Minister of Public Service and Administration
06 December 2023 - NW3412
Komane, Ms RN to ask the Minister of Public Service and Administration
With reference to the 2022-23 Annual Performance Plan of her department, what are the specific indicators and/or targets for the (a) development and (b) implementation of the National Framework Towards the Professionalisation of the Public Service?
Reply:
a) In October 2022, the Cabinet approved the National Framework designed to enhance the professionalism of the Public Service. This approval occurred mid-financial year; hence, no specific key performance indicators could be established.
b) Despite the circumstances above, the Department of Public Service and Administration contributed significantly to implementing the National Framework towards professionalising the Public Service during the 2022/2023 financial year. On a broad scale, the accomplishments entail:
- Revisions to the Public Administration and Management Act.
- Updates to the Public Service Act.
- Development programmes for the youth.
- Dissemination of the strategy across national and provincial departments, following its approval, via diverse outreach programmes, Imbizos, and events conducted throughout the term.
