The CSOS’s Strategic Plans institutionalise government priorities as set out in the National Development Plan (NDP), the NDP Five-Year Implementation Plan, the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), provincial priorities, sector priorities, local government priorities, and any other government medium- and long-term plans. The five-year Strategic Plan, which is aligned to the planning cycle, outlines the CSOS’s impact statement, outcomes, related outcome indicators and five-year targets for outcomes.

The Strategic Plan informs our Annual Performance Plans.
