Provincial reflections Conclusion

PLANNING CONTEXT

• National Treasury framework for APP and Strat Plans

• National Development Plan (NDP) – Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF)– 9 Point Plan

• MPAT Standards– evolving planning environment across government

• Alignment across Department planning documents (2015-2020 Strategic Plan; DST 2017/ 18 Annual Performance Plan; and ENE)

3

PREVAILING CONDITIONS…(1)

• The 2017/18 planning cycle wasundertaken with the following issues forconsideration:– Year three of strategic plan implementation. An evident ramp

up in performance is anticipated (marking progress towards attainment of 2020 targets i.e are there indicators that align to and contribute to all proxy indicators)

– Budget cuts and the implications these would bear on both the attainment of targets and concomitant HR resources needed for implementation

4

PREVAILING CONDITIONS…(2)

• The 2017/18 planning cycle wasundertaken with the following issues forconsideration:– Increased traction on implementation of government’s 9 point

plan and growing appreciation of the potential contribution of STI towards socio-economic transformation

– Growing appreciation of the Operation Phakisa methodology and DSTs participation in all to date

– A number of policy related initiatives underway (White Paper Review, STIIL Review etc)

5

STRATEGIC INTEGRATION

• National Development Plan–3 phases and STI contribution

• Support to several Government Outcomes

• STI in the Nine Point Plan

6

SOUTH AFRICA’S STI: WHERE TO GO?

• Use of knowledge forefficiency gains in theeconomy- Drawing on progressachieved thus far, the NSI willexpand research capacity (humancapital development) and institutionbuilding, build on what it has learntabout commercialising ideas fromresearch, and continue to supportexisting economic sectors (such asagriculture, forestry, agroprocessing,aquaculture, manufacturing andmining) and emerging sectors (suchas minerals beneficiation, greenerenergy (hydrogen and fuel cells), andactive pharmaceutical ingredientmanufacturing) throughtechnological innovation.

Phase One

(2012-2017)

8

• Industrialisation enhanced byknowledge- the NSI will continue toaccelerate the transformation of theSTI sector (i.e. demographicrepresentivity) and enhance efficiencyin the economy through knowledge.The government will continue toincrease R&D investment andcommercialisation, and optimise theutilisation of inbound technology

Phase Two (2018-2023)


9

• knowledge-based economy-The number of knowledge workers and high-technology industries will have increased and boosted exports and increased the capacity to commercialise indigenous or local technologies. Efforts will be directed at sustaining and expanding this progress.

Phase Three

(2023-2030)


OVER THE 2014- 2019 MTSF, THE DEPARTMENT WILL HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO AND REPORTED ON THE FOLLOWING GOVERNMENT OUTCOMES:

Outcome 2: A long and healthy lifefor all South Africans.
