  • A high standard of professional ethics must be
    promoted and maintained
  • Efficient, economic and effective use of
    resources must be promoted
  • Public administration must be development-oriented

Manifesto of the ruling party
  • The developmental state will play a central and
    strategic role in the economy. We will ensure a
    more effective government improve the
    coordination and planning efforts of the
    developmental state by means of a planning entity
    to ensure faster change. A review of the
    structure of government will be undertaken, to
    ensure effective service delivery.
  • An important aspect of a successful
    developmental state is investment in public
    sector workers and in turn our people expect that
    they execute the tasks with which they have been
    entrusted. This means that the right and adequate
    numbers of personnel should be placed in the
    correct positions, and where this is not the
    case, government should have the capacity to
    implement corrective measures, either through
    training or redeployment where warranted.

10
Macro-organisation of the state
  • A review of the structure of government will be
    undertaken, to ensure effective service
    delivery. Manifesto
  • New configuration of Ministerial Portfolios
    implemented from 10 May
  • DPSA is coordinating implementation of the new
    macro-structure of the state
  • Assisting with legal and technical work required
    to effect name changes and transfer of functions
  • Working closely with the National Treasury and
    Department of Public Works to support departments

11
SON Address (1)
  • President Zuma in his State of the Nation
    Address made reference to the strategic
    objectives of the DPSA
  • A developmental state requires the improvement
    of public services and strengthening of
    democratic institutions.
  • To ensure that all three spheres - local,
    provincial and national - improve service
    delivery, we will speed up the establishment of a
    single Public Service.
  • This administration will insist on putting
    people first in service delivery. We will ensure
    courteous and efficient service from
    front-counter staff in the provision of services
    in all government departments.
  • In this era of renewal, we will move towards a
    more interactive government.

12
SON Address (2)
  • President Zuma also made reference to continued
    participation in the reconstruction and
    development of the African continent, especially,
    post-conflict situations
  • Reference was also made to intensifying the
    South-South relations
  • The President made it clear that the public
    service must respond to the economic downturn by
    spending public funds wisely and fruitfully
    and there should be no wastage and roll-overs.
  • The DPSAs medium term strategy incorporates the
    SONA priorities, it responds to the challenges
    confronting the public service and is cognisant
    of the implications of the global economic
    crisis.
