The Provincial Treasury contributes to Chapter 13 – Building a capable and developmental state of the National Development Plan [NDP]. 

The Medium-Term Strategic Framework [MTSF] – 2014-2019 recently approved by the National Cabinet, aligned to the National Development Plan, sets the delivery objectives for the next 5 years under the heading of “An efficient, effective  and development-orientated public service” [pages 31 - 33 of the MTSF].

Furthermore, this will be executed in partnership primarily with the National Treasury, Departments of the Premier, Local Government and Environmental Affairs and Development Planning in the Province, but also together with the other provincial departments and all municipalities in the province.

Furthermore, as these are ongoing initiatives it will not be possible to break the outcomes down in distinct years as requested. However the Department is currently busy with the development of its Strategic Plan for the fiscal years 2015/16 – 2019/20 [SP] and Annual Performance Plan 2015/16 – 2017/18 [APP], taking the NDP and the MTSF into account.  These plans will be tabled in the House in March 2015.  Annual targets over the next 3 years, i.e. of planned deliverables will be included in the 2015/18 APP.

That said, current Provincial Treasury’s initiatives over the last 3 years, notably the Corporate Governance Review and Outlook [CGRO] and Municipal Governance Review and Outlook [MGRO] processes, as well as the Provincial Government:  Medium Term Expenditure Committee [PG: MTEC] and Local Government:  Medium Term Expenditure Committee [LG:  MTEC] processes are all directly in support of the Chapter 13 of the NDP.  More detail on this can be found in the 2014/17 APP, but all of these speak to the main points on page 410 of the NDP.
