For all programmes of the Department, some strategic outcomes and indicators were not aligned with the strategic goals and/or objectives. These issues were also highlighted in the high level review of the Department's 2011/12 Strategic Plan by the Office of the Auditor-General. The indicators were either not relevant or specific to the stated strategic objective or outcome and some were not quantifiable. The highlighted issues raised concerns regarding the level of the Department's engagement in the strategic planning process and the people who were involved in the planning.
