the service. In 2022/23 there is projected decrease to 425 due to implementation of the organisational

structure. The department received an approval to implement the new programme structure, which has
four programmes following the approval received from Department of Public Service and Administration
(DPSA). As such, the department had to re-configure the budget in order to be in line with the new

structure. The new reconfiguration will enable the department to deliver on the legislative and political
mandates. Amongst other things the focus include strengthening of Monitoring Evaluation function; scaling
up of youth programmes; driving of investment and entrepreneurship etc.
