The response to Question 108 by Mr Dodovu is that no, the integrated monitoring framework has not yet been implemented, it is work in progress. It will be implemented as part of the new MTSF. This tool will be utilised as part of the measurement tools for the performance of different departments.
The President will sign ... [a different speaker/sound briefly appears] ... work will be used to measure the implementation of these new performance agreements.
The new integrated system will enable the Department of Monitoring and Evaluation working with other core departments and entities especially Stats SA to achieve the following goals:
Track the development impact of government policies, plans and programmes at population level nationally, primarily through evaluations studies but informed by monitoring data.
Track whether the National Development Plan, NDP, is translated into effective service delivery programmes at sub national level, provincial and district levels.
Track progress at the coal phase of service delivery to assist real change and improvement on the lives of citizens.
Develop policy frameworks for monitoring, women, people with disabilities and youth developmental sectors to ensure mainstreaming and tracking implementation thereof.
Enable the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation to triangulate data from different monitoring and evaluation systems as well as external monitoring and evaluation systems to provide a holistic picture of the performance of government and the impact on citizens. Thank you, Chair.
