The Committee was of the view that the WRC should sit down with the Department to discuss performance indicators in the WRC's strategic plan. The South African Law Reform Commission may be a good example of the type of strategic research that can be provided to a Department. . The South African Law Reform Commission undertakes research on behalf of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development. Research is aimed at problems being experienced in the justice system. The Water Research Commission could look at a similar process. This would assist when evaluating performance indicators at the end of the year and would give meaning and value to performance auditing.
