• The budget of the Commission forms the main division of Vote 18 for the Ministry for women in the Presidency
• Three 3 programmes constitute the budget, namely; • Commissioners Governance & Support,• Corporate/Administration Support• Main Service/Core
• The top three spending drivers are:▫ Compensation of Employees 67% ( We are a service driven and therefore & human
resources intensive)▫ Professional Services 7% ( Litigations, audit fees, etc) ▫ Travel& Accommodation, event management & media – 11% (outreach & visibility are
at the core our strategy) ▫ Reports production and printing – 3% ( All work published after each research
study/investigation▫ Telecommunications, Courier Services and vehicles expenses – 4% (Offices country-
wide)
• Therefore over 90% of the total spending is made out of unavoidable expenditure in the main of which majority is fixed (COE for e.g.) -Less flexibility

Funding implicationsFunding implications The baseline is COE sensitive while the CGE rely primarily on staff
to execute mandate – A dilemma from budget cuts is the direct negative implication to service delivery
Over the years, increases from national treasury averaged 6% whilst cost of living adjustments for staff and Commissioners realised higher (at 8 to 10%) therefore eroding the base for Goods & Services critical for service delivery
Proclaimed through MTBPS , National Treasury reduced CGE’s baseline by R3.1 m or 4% for period 2015/2016 and R4.6 m in 2016/2017.
As a result. The delivery of services relating to the CGE’s legislated mandate is significantly and negatively impacted
Owing to the COE (fixed cost) and budget structure, the situation poses very significant going concern challenges
