ECPTA will continue to work towards a capable, ethical, and developmental state by:

• Retaining a clean audit status.

• Adopting an openly developmental approach to work in communities and with stakeholder
groups.

• Speeding up the transition to digital knowledge management (archiving / policy library / SOPs
etc.) to secure institutional memory linked to sound succession planning.

Non-tax revenue has increased from R372.602 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of
R352.077 million in 2022/23 due to conditional grants from the N2 Biodiversity Offset Project, Wildlife
Conservation Bond, National Department of Tourism, Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the
Environment, for Environmental Protection of Infrastructure Programme (DFFE-EPIP) and other

partners. Over the MTEF, it decreases to R333.110 million, with a slight increase to R346.595 million
and R352.825 million in 2024/25 and 2025/26, respectively, as certain infrastructure projects relating
to conditional grants are completed.

Compensation of Employees increased from R158.221 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of
R173.480 million in 2022/23 due to the ECPTA implementing inflationary increases, pay progression,
Public Service Bargaining Council resolution and filling of vacant posts. These increases were funded

in part by the fiscus and by limiting the filling of vacant positions where there are staff resignations
and suspending recruitment. Over the 2023/24 MTEF, compensation of employees increases from
R182.973 million, to R194.300 million and R202.977 million, for 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26,
