. The Committee was concerned that the Department indicated that many programmes and projects would only be implemented in 2012/13; . According to the Estimates of National Expenditure 2012, an amount of R27,5 million was set aside for coordination and implementation of the National Women's Day celebration, the 16 Days of Activism as well as the 365 days Action Plan. The Committee raised a concern with regard to the budget allocated to these activities given the limited budget allocated to the Department. In addition, the Committee was concerned that costs for the celebration of these days were being carried by this Department alone.
