The Department for Performance Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) has noted
media reports about the submission of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province's
annual assessment of the quality of management report. The DPME wish to
put it on the record that the report from the KZN province has been
received.

The department in its presentation of the results to Parliament's
Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration indicated that
KZN province did not submit its report to DPME. For the 2011/12
financial year, 103 out of 155 national and provincial departments
submitted their self-assessment results to DPME in time for them to be
included in the overall report which was presented to Cabinet in June
2012. The final date for the submission of the self-assessments was 15
February 2012.

The KZN province only launched the Management Performance Assessment Tool
(MPAT) within the Province on 9 March 2012. DPME received the
self-assessment results from the KZN province in June 2012. Therefore,
the report has been received, however could not form part of the overall
report.

The DPME together with the Offices of the Premier, is carrying out annual
assessments of the quality of management practices in national and
provincial departments. The process consists of self-assessments by
departments, followed by moderation.

The presentation to Parliament yesterday, covered the Mid-Term Review,
the Management Performance Assessment Tool assessment results, and the
results of the department's frontline service delivery monitoring
programme.
