9. 1.4. KEY RISKS AND MITIGATION Risk Mitigation Reorganisation of the Departmental structure in 2019/2020 posed challenges due to delays in roll out of the micro structure as a result of engagements and consultations with internal stakeholders Full implementation of SMS and micro structure during 2021/21 FY (How did the full implementation of the structure mitigate the risk) Covid-19 outbreak slowed down performance due to different forms of shutdowns Catch-up plans developed and being implemented hence majority of MPSA led targets are reported as on track. Budget cuts/ reprioritisation the channeling of resources to minimise impact of Covid 19. Partnerships and Donor mobilidation function strengthened Reduced capacity due to budget cuts - 60 vacant DPSA positions cut and funds re-directed in support to interventions. Further cuts undertaken in current financial due to poor economic performance. This affected performance in some of the MTSF deliverables as highlighted in text - The legal mandate of the MPSA is limited to public service which caused mandate issues as targets require public sector-wide approach Explore sustainable mechanisms of engagement within the interdepartmental government co-ordination system e.g integrate agenda items in PCC meetings, MPSA engagement with provincial Cabinets, and or Premiers. Alignment of planning processes and by the economic outlook and clarity on roles of internal stakeholders in planning process Delays experienced during the negotiation process due to engagements complexities to consult and seek by in. Policy on performance information management Limited M&E capacity at DPSA affecting impact based approaches due to limited capacity and poor planning for results Investment on M&E System and personnel Growing South Africa together for a Growing South Africa together for a capable and ethical Public Service capable and ethical Public Service
