Table 27 and 28 above shows payment and information on training from 2019/20 to 2025/26. The
expenditure on training increased from R3.271 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R3.649 million

in 2022/23 due to organisational development projects. The training budget is centralised in Programme
1 for all employees within the department. In 2023/24, the budget increases by 9.9 per cent to R4.009
million. The focus in 2023/24, as in previous years, will be on the development and enhancement of

technical and leadership skills at middle and senior management levels. This objective is to strengthen the
ability of the department to respond to the demands of the environment within which it functions. The
department will also continue its quest to build a leadership pipeline among women. The intention is to

create women leadership cadre at middle management level that will advance to the senior management
service cadre. It also intends to prepare those women that are already in the senior management service

cadre for further advancement.
