. Most of the Department's performance measures (indicators) and targets were quantitative and do not directly measure or even relate to service delivery, while some targets were different from those that were set in the Strategic Plan. For all the Department's programmes, some performance measures were not aligned with the Department's strategic goals and/or linked to the national priority outcomes. These issues were highlighted in the high level review of the Department's 2011/12 Strategic Plan by the Office of the Auditor-General. These were also raised by the Committee during the Department's presentation of its Strategic Plan and APP in March 2011, but have not been appropriately addressed in the Annual Report.
