Leading the Public Service to Higher Productivity

Introduction • Cabinet’s decisions to achieve 50% of women at SMS and 2% of people

with disabilities across all levels has not been met.• Against this background, the CD: TPP has doubled efforts to tightly

monitor departments and provide technical assistance on employment equity. Following the development and implementation of the Gender Equality Strategic Framework and the JobAccess, the CD embarked on several interventions such as paying visits to departments to provide individual attention.

• The CD developed templates to guide the implementation planning and reporting on the frameworks. These reporting requirements have been incorporated in the MPAT process of the Department for Monitoring and Evaluation.

• The CD has also introduced a system to closely monitor; particularly those departments that remain below 30% for women at SMS and 1% for People with Disabilities. Such departments were requested to draw remedial plans that outline how they were going to remedy their situation.

Leading the Public Service to Higher Productivity

Conclusion • From the figures in the previous slide, it is evident that there are

more women in the Public Service than men.• There are departments that have achieved and or exceeded the

mark meaning that this can be done by all other departments.• The DPSA will continue to implement strategies to assist

departments to meet targets.• There is a need for the Committee and or Cabinet to call to

account all HODs whose departments have not shown any progress and are still below 30% of the required 50% women at SMS, and 1% of the required 2% for people with disabilities.
