Performance Monitoring and
Evaluation Team
Legislative Framework
As a key departure from the past, monitoring and
evaluation are integral to:
‐ The Skills Development Act (Act No.97 of 1998 as
amended),
‐ Skills Development Levies Act,
‐ The National Skills Development Strategy III,
‐ National Treasury (Treasury Regulations),
‐ Employment Equity Act,
‐ Auditor General.
Performance Monitoring and
Evaluation Concept
‐ Each SETA is expected to have targets to meet in
relation to the broader strategy,
‐ Each SETA is expected to put in place measures to
evaluate quality, relevance and impact of skills
development initiatives,
‐ Continuous data collection and analysis to assess and
compare with the expected performance outcome,
‐ Measurement of results achieved to assess relevance,
efficiency, effectiveness, impact, as well as the
sustainability.
Performance Monitoring and
Evaluation Purpose
‐ Provision of feedback on implementation progress,
‐ Provision of early indicators of problem areas that
need to be corrected,
‐ Provision of credible and useful information to answer
specific questions to guide decision makers,
‐ Supports effective programme management,
‐ Facilitation of continuous systemic improvement,
‐ Developmental and supportive,
‐ Stringent and punitive in future.
Performance Monitoring and
Evaluation Questions

• What were the deviations?
• Were they justifiable?
Evaluation
• Was the programme relevant?
• Was it appropriate?
• Did it succeed?
• Was it cost effective?
• Was it efficient?
• Was it effective?
• What is the impact?
• Is it sustainable?
• What are the lessons learnt?
Audit Scope
―Compliance with SDA & SDLA requirements,
―Allocation of mandatory and/or discretionary
grants,
―Alignment of ATR to previous year WSP,
―Resources in relation to learning programme
provision,
―Quality management system in relation to

Monitoring and Evaluation
• Why the need?
• MICT Levy Contributors will contribute about R500
million during 2011/2012 period, of which 50% will
be returned to these organisations.
• Questions being asked
– Has the R250 million spent by our stakeholders actually
benefitted the sector in terms of BBBEE, race, gender,
etc.?
– Is the Sector and the MICT addressing scarce and critical
skills?
– Are stakeholders providing the Seta with carefully
considered ATR/WSP data?
