Introduction

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (the DOJ&CD) held its strategic planning sessions from 15 to 17 August 2019 and from 20 to 24 October 2019. The purpose of these sessions was to review the department’s Strategic Plan and the Annual Performance Plan. Prior to the above departmental strategic planning sessions, the various branches of the department held their own strategic planning sessions to provide an opportunity for broad inclusivity in the departmental planning exercise. During the departmental planning sessions, the department’s impact statement, outcomes statement, outcome indicators and key performance indicators were developed.

The revision of the Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan was prepared in line with the new Framework for Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans. The framework requires government departments to use the Theory of Change approach when developing their plans. The framework further requires departments to develop impact statements that they aim to achieve when executing their mandate. The impact statement should also be accompanied by outcomes that will assist the department to realise its impact statement. The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has developed seven (7) departmental outcomes statements. The outcome statements are:

a. Increased capability and capacity of the Department and good governance;

b. Modernised and digitised justice services platforms;

c. Increased access to justice service

d. Transformed colonials/apartheid era justice related legislation;

e. Advanced constitutionalism, human rights and the rule of law;

f. Crimeandcorruptionreducedthrougheffectiveprosecution;

Details on how various programmes will contribute to the department’s outcomes are provided under the section which deals with progamme measures. Various programmes contribute not only to a specificoutcome,buttoanumberofoutcomesasfollows:

a. Programme 1 contributes to Outcomes 1 and 2

b. Programme 2 contributes to Outcomes 2, 3 and 6


c. Programme 3 contributes to Outcomes 3, 4, 5 and 6

d. Programme 4 contributes to Outcomes 3 and 7

e. Programme 5 contributes to Outcome 2

Withinthesevenprioritiesofgovernmentidentified,thedepartmentplaysamajorroleinPriority6:SocialCohesion and Safe Communities. The department included outcomes and indicators in its Strategic Plan and in this Annual Performance Plan in order to fully align with the government’s Programme of Action and the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF). In addition, the plan includes planned initiatives to develop electronic systems to digitise and automate justice processes aimed at improving the delivery of services rendered to the public. During the 2020/21 Medium-Term Expenditure (MTEF) cycle, court administration processes, including the Child and Spousal Maintenance applications and Domestic Violence Act applications which include Protection Orders, will be automated to enable such services to be provided online as far as possible.

11. CONDITIONAL GRANTS

No conditional grants were issued by the department.

12. PUBLIC ENTITIES AND CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Four entities are funded through the Vote Account of the DoJ&CD. Two of these entities are Chapter 9 institutions: the SAHRC and the Public Protector of South Africa. The other two are public entities reporting to the Minister: Legal Aid SA and the SIU (Programme 5). These are fully independent entities and are mandated through legislation and the Constitution. For this reason, they perform their duties independently of the DoJ&CD and are evaluated by the Parliament of South Africa.

13. PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

No public-private partnerships are presently funded by the department.
