The sustainable use and protection of land and water mandate of the former Programme 2 and the disaster risk and management services mandate of the former Programme 3 have been added to the Forestry programme in the current medium term expenditure framework (MTEF) period. The rest of the activities of the former Programme 2, viz. agricultural productivity and infrastructure development now fall under the new Agricultural Production, Health and Food Safety Programme and the Food Security and Agrarian Reform Programme, respectively. The rest of the activities of the former Programme 3 are now split between the Administration; Trade Promotion and Market Access; as well as the Food Security and Agrarian Reform Programmes. These changes and how the budget was reprioritised presented a challenge in terms of continuity from the previous financial year, which was not explained in the Department's Strategic Plan but the National Treasury's Estimates of National Expenditure showed that there was a budget for these 'new' programmes in the 2010/11 financial year.
