EXPLANATIONS OF UNDERPERFORMANCE
During the period under review, the Department encountered a number of impediments that hindered the attainment of the planned targets; namely:The Department is awaiting an invitation from the Select Committee on Arts and Education to present the Charter for African Cultural Renaissance. This resulted to the underperformance on the ratification and approval of the Charter for African Cultural Renaissance.Two public entities functioning without councils (i.e. PANSALB and WINDYBROW) hindered attainment of 100% councils fully constituted at all public entities.Reluctance of provinces and other departments to commit to Social Cohesion initiatives hindered convening of the National Social Cohesion Feedback Summit Steering Committee to implement action plan.Slow procurement processesBudget cuts in the MGE programme and reprioritisation of fundsDependencies on other implementing agencies like DPW and provinces
