The ICD had to reprioritise and manage its resources with due regard to the Government's call for departments to curb spending and in the light of the global recession. As such, the Directorate's 2010-2013 Strategic Plan is also more focused in direction and detail than its previous Strategic Plan, with an emphasis on restructuring/re-organising resources and processes within the ICD to enable it to carry out its mandate more effectively. These changes, including legislative changes, are also aimed at addressing "critical matters" identified in Parliamentary reports.
