Specifically, the ministry will employ the following measures for successful implementation of its 2013-2017 Strategic Plan: 7.1 STRATEGY(S) TO ACHIEVE PLANNED OBJECTIVES 7.1.1 Stakeholder Engagement The ministry will continue engaging stakeholders on the implementation of the plan through workshops, seminars and other fora to evaluate the processes in order to generate and implement appropriate and timely interventions. This approach, among other benefits, will ensure the requisite participation of all the key partners in the implementation and delivery of the Plan. 7.1.2 Annual Performance Contract(s) Preparation of annual performance contract targets by the ministry will form the basis of the realisation of the strategic plan’s objectives. 7.1.3 Preparation of the Ministerial Annual Work-Plans The Ministry will prepare its annual work plan, prioritising key activities to be implemented during the plan period. This work plan will be derived from the strategic plan. 7.1.4 Preparation of Departmental Annual Work-Plans Preparation of the departmental work-plan will be derived from the ministerial performance contract and the ministerial work-plan. The departmental work-plan will detail key activities to be implemented under their mandate and in the Strategic Plan. 7.1.5 Performance Appraisal Systems The heads of departments will cascade the departmental work from the ministerial performance contract and then set individual targets from the departmental work-plan. Each head of department will appraise the staff on the targets signed with the Principal Secretary and later signed with the departmental staff. 7.1.6 Individual Work-Plans Individual work plans will be based on departmental annual work plan. Every individual staff will contribute to achievement of the ministry’s strategic goals and objectives. 7.1.7 Preparation of Budget Proposals The ministry will prepare its budget proposal to the National Treasury during the Plan period prioritising key programmes and projects financial requirements to be implemented during the(MTE) period. This will enable the ministry to mobilise the required resources for the implementation of the Plan.
