INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS Programme Inception meeting with Minister: May 2015 Sponsoring Group: DM Mashego- Dlamini Programme Board DDG Corporate Service, CFO, CLCC, Risk Steering Committee: CRLR Executive Management Project Managers for each sub-project 34
Outcomes from During the Sponsoring Meeting with DM Mashego-Dlamini on 17 September 2015 the Commission was tasked to present to MCM the following: 1. Organisational structure specifically on the Head of the Commission at national and provincial level, including finance and corporate services 2. Regularisation of the SLA with the Department in order to delink from the Department and assign AO functions to CLCC 3. Delegation of the post-settlement issues to the Commission 35
Regularisation of the SLA with the Department Why have SLA s? The Commission is entirely reliant on the DRDLR for the following: All Corporate Services (HR, IT, Communication, Corporate legal, knowledge services, M&E, EPMO) All Finance functions (CFO, management accounting, SMC) Executive functions (parliamentary liaison, security, internal audit) Ensure that support functions remain in place and are performed up to a certain standard in the transitional period Clarify roles and responsibilities and service delivery standards Should the CLCC be delegated all functions assigned to the Accounting Officer, the necessary resources should be in place or at least covered in SLAs to ensure the functions are performed. 36
Transitional arrangements 1. Establishment of National transitional task team comprising Treasury, DPSA, DRDLR, CRLR 2. Entrenching and strengthen the various Institutional Structures of the Autonomy Programme 3. Work towards Schedule 3A entity (i.e. complete autonomous structure) by 1 April 2017 with SLAs in place to perform statutory and administrative functions where capacity/ resources does not exist e.g. Audit Committee. 37
Two pronged approach To deliver an autonomous entity (outward focused) To reconfigure the organisational structure and head of the Commission as Accounting Officer To ensure that the budget structure is amended to be a Schedule 3A entity To enter into SLA s with the DRDLR for support services To ensure posts-settlement and related functions are properly performed To deliver a fully effective and efficient entity (inward focused) Clear organisational mandate and business processes Fully capacitated human resources and reconfigured organisational structure Improved customer satisfaction and communication Change management Improved information and project management 38
