                                                       outcomes a reality. Over the next year, we will
                                                       work very closely with our stakeholders in order

The Annual Performance Plan (APP) is guided
by the Strategic Plan (SP) of the Unemployment
Insurance Fund (UIF) and it is an instrument that
is designed to give real meaning to the strategic
programme of action of the department and by
extension, government. The APP for the
period 2018/19-2020/21 contains UIF’s set of
action plans to give effect to the strategic
priorities that are set by the Department of
Labour (DoL) for this period. The strategic
objectives and outputs contained in this APP are
central to the UIF’s
activities and are geared towards enhancing
service delivery outcomes such as:

•       The creation of decent employment
        through inclusive economic growth;

COMMISSIONER’S STATEMENT

                                                The number of people who benefit from the
                                                Fund increases every year and in the
                                                previous financial year we have been able
                                                cushion more than 750 000 beneficiaries
                                                against the pangs of hunger through benefits
                                                payment of more than R 8,47 billion.
                                                According to StatsSA unemployment rate
                                                remained high at 27.7% in the third quarter
                                                of 2017 and with several companies putting
                                                section 189 notices during the year, it is clear
                                                that claims for the unemployment benefit are
                                                set to increase significantly by the end of the
                                                2017/18 financial year.

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FUND ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR
2018/19
PART A: STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
1.      SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

 1.1 PERFORMANCE DELIVERY
		ENVIRONMENT.

There have been no changes to the UIF’s performance delivery environment. The
Fund’s strategic and policy approach will continue to be derived from the policy
directives of the Department of Labour, Minister of Labour’s Programme of
Action and Performance Delivery Agreements. The performance target and indicators
for the current financial year were aligned with the recommendations of the Auditor
General and the National Treasury’s Framework for Managing Performance
Information and the Framework for Annual Performance and Strategic Plans as
issued by National Treasury.

This alignment has resulted in outputs, performance targets and indicators,
meeting the recommended criteria of being SMART (Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Reliable and Time Bound). The performance indicators have also been
improved to ensure that they meet the criteria of being Reliable, Well-Defined,
Verifiable, Cost Effective, Appropriate and Relevant.

The Unemployment Insurance Board recommends to both the Minister (Executive
Authority) and the Director General Labour (Accounting Authority) the approval of
the Fund’s Strategic Plan and the Annual Performance Plan.

The Unemployment Insurance Board has overseen the process of planning and
budget preparations.
