OTHER PART 1 PART 2 PART 3 PART 4 INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS GLOSSARY OF TERMS Introduction by Director-General Introduction Report of the Audit Committee Human Resource Management Information on the Ministry Programme Summary Annual Financial Statements Service Delivery 7 Vision, Mission and Values Programme 1 Legislative Mandates Programme 2 Programme 3 Programme 4 FOREWORD BY THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL As the Accounting Officer of the Department of Home Affairs, I must report to Parliament and the public on the Department’s progress towards achieving its objectives through the effective use of its resources. The Annual Report thus provides a comprehensive account of performance against the strategic plan and the budget that was approved by Parliament. The Report also provides a wealth of information about the priorities and programmes of the Department. The outcome of the audit of the Department by the Auditor-General is included in the An- nual Report, providing an objective view of the financial management of the Department. This is essential to good governance, together with the work of the independent Audit Commit- tee, which has rendered valuable assistance and advice. The Strategic Plan of the Department is based on achieving three outcomes, which reflects its mandate and its priorities. These outcomes also contribute significantly to national priori- ties with regard to improving service delivery and towards ensuring the security of citizens and the state. Accordingly, the Strategic Plan has been aligned with the performance agree- ment signed by the Minister of Home Affairs with the President. This entailed some amend- ments to the details in the plan and Parliament was duly informed of these changes via the appropriate channels. The first outcome is a “Secured South African citizenship and identity” and the strategic priority is to ensure the integrity of the National Population Register by early registration of birth and the issuance of Identity Documents (IDs) to all citizens at age 16 years. The second outcome is “Immigration managed effectively and securely in the national interest including economic, social and cultural development”.
