The Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999 (PFMA) and Treasury Regulations (TR), require the National and Provincial government sphere departments in South Africa to align their budgets to the achievement of their strategic plans. In order to achieve this, Management in the public sector must be empowered to apply strategic and operational planning principles for effective public service delivery. All public sector managers must have the skills to budget for the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) in order to make the strategic and operational plans a reality. The TR requires an annual performance plan for the MTEF period that has clearly defined performance indicators and performance targets.
