CASP Support and Appropriateness - Infrastructure

• CASP has made a significant contribution to on-farm infrastructure
• Infrastructure includes;
• sheds & storage places, pack houses,
• dairy & piggery infrastructure,
• hydroponic tunnels, chicken houses, fencing
• water tanks, windmills & shade netting
• CASP intervention not associated with an increase in residential infrastructure
• Clearly the focus is on production rather than social

DAFF MPAT results from 2014 to 2016

Introductory overview

• MPAT has been implemented to facilitate reforms in management practices in government departments.
• It was designed to complement the systems approach by ensuring a Capable Public Service as envisaged by the NDP.
• NDP identified the need to have focused initiatives in Building a Capable state and acknowledges that although government had intervention in this regard, it was not integrated and did not have a long term focus.
• The tool identified at the onset that whilst there are notable improvements in management in the Public Service, these have not reached the desired levels.
• The lessons learnt from MPAT case studies show that weak managerial-leadership practices still persist in the public service and the need for a holistic approach for dealing with these in order to enable Public Service to improve performance in service delivery.

Analytical Framework

The MPAT score is analysed within the following 3 dimensions:

• Comparisons with other data – MPAT scores with PERSAL, Annual Report and other data
• Changes over time – The changes are analysed overall, by KPA and standards
• Comparisons with other department, sectors, provinces and total RSA – Overall, by KPA and Standards

• Although the department experienced overall incremental improvement from MPAT 1.4 to MPAT 1.6 , the department is scoring slightly below the compliance level in Governance and Accountability and Human Resource Management KPAs.
