WCG DoTP APP 2023/2024

The highest constitutional and legislative responsibility of the Department of the Premier is, therefore, to coordinate the actions of WCG departments in relation to policy and strategy development, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The vision, values and priorities of the WCG Executive are expressed in the Provincial Strategic Plan (PSP) and the Provincial Strategic Implementation Plan (PSIP). The Department of the Premier plays a significant role in realising the WCG vision: 1. It supports the executive in setting the provincial strategic agenda and determining the province’s strategic priorities;

2. It enables the use of data and evidence in decision-making;

3. It enables the use of technology for citizen impact;

4. It drives change in organisational culture and capacity towards values and citizen-centricity;

5. It enables and capacitates government and its employees to institutionalise innovation;

6. It enables risk management and effective governance; and

7. It seeks to mainstream the inclusion of priority groups.

The department renders a range of corporate services to departments in the WCG, such as enterprise risk management, legal services, ICT services and people management services. These services provide direction, guidance and enablement to the rest of the WCG to deliver on their mandates and functions for maximum impact on citizens. The Constitution and the Western Cape Constitution, together with the Acts and Regulations listed hereunder, guide and direct the actions, performance and responsibilities carried out by the department.
