Introduction• This annual performance plan seeks to respond to strategic objectives and to

achieve the outcomes as detailed in the government’s Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF).

• The Department will implement a plan to contribute to the government-wide programme of creating five (5) million new jobs over the next ten years, as outlined in the New Growth Path Framework (NGPF).

• Our main anchor programmes include – the Regional Bulk Infrastructure,

– the Accelerated Community Infrastructure Programme (ACIP),

– Support to Resource Poor Farmers (RPFs),

– the national transfers of schemes to municipalities, and

– the “War on Water Leaks” programme designed for youth development.

– Major contribution through our Working for Water and Working on Fire Programmes.
