About Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation

Established in January 2010, the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) seeks to ensure continuous improvement in service delivery in South Africa through performance monitoring and evaluation. Our strategic orientation is about ensuring that government achieves its developmental goals by focusing on results (outcomes and impact). Focusing on the results means that government should be efficient in carrying out all its implementation processes (activities) using the current resource capacity (inputs) to deliver the desired public goods and services (outputs), and be effective in meeting the societal objectives (outcomes) that are about changing people’s lives for the better in the long-run (impact). As such, all our efforts are aimed at addressing the triple challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality.
