However, review of documents revealed that the DVS lacked a clear guideline on resource allocation in terms of manpower and vehicle allocation particularly at district level which the department could use to guide and monitor its resource allocation. Such a guide could also be used by the OAG as a yardstick to assess the efficiency of DVS resource utilisation in FMD control. 

Assessment of the Department’s resource allocation during the audit revealed some inconsistencies in resource allocation as illustrated in Table 6 (showing data only from the districts sampled during the audit).

As the table shows for instance, basing on the proportion of length of fence relative to resources allocated (in terms of both manpower and vehicles) Maun District was allocated relatively the most resources. Conversely, Shakawe District which had longer fence network and a relatively bad terrain (swampy and sandy) compared to Selibi Phikwe was allocated relatively fewer resources.
