Unpacking Policy Imperatives Senior Management Summit 26-28 November 2015 Presentation Outline • The National Development Plan (Vision 2030) – a shared and inclusive vision for the country • Mpumalanga Vision 2030 – An Implementation Framework for the NDP • The Mpumalanga Growth and Development Path – economic growth and development priorities • Political Imperatives for the current term of government – translating the election ANC manifesto into a five-year programme of government (2014-2019) • On the capacity of the state – ‘cry the beloved senior management service’ – reflections on fitness for purpose Introduction • In the 20 Years since the advent of democracy, South Africa has been on a journey towards a destination that is broadly labelled, “a better life for all”. • Whilst this objective remains the same going into the future, it is now more clearly expressed in the country’s National Development Plan (NDP), which provides a detailed roadmap for development in the years leading up to 2030. • For effective implementation and meaningful impact to be derived from this plan, the country needs to be guided by a developmental democratic state “capable of mobilizing all sectors and boldly intervening in the economy in favour of workers and the poor”. The National Development Plan (2030) A “multidimensional strategic framework” to bring about development by guiding key choices and actions The National Development Plan (2030) • The next 20 Years, the journey to 2030, is characterized as the second phase of the country’s democratic transition. • This “2nd phase” focuses on the critical role that a robust economy plays in eliminating poverty and unemployment, supporting sustainable livelihoods and reducing inequality. • The National Development Plan (NDP) aims to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality by 2030, and “lays the foundation for long term planning for this radical socio-economic agenda over the next 20 years.” • The National Development Plan institutionalizes long term planning and gives expression to the policy continuity characterizing the past, and informing the next, 20 Years • The NDP represents a broad “multidimensional strategic framework” to bring about development by guiding key choices and actions • Progress in one area supports advances in others (priorities / linkages) e.g. improved education will lead to higher employment and earnings The National Development Plan (2030) • Cornerstones of the NDP include strategic and visionary leadership at all levels, an active citizenry and effective government • “Progress over the next two decades means doing things differently” • Provinces have been directed by the NPC to “integrate NDP proposals and priorities within provincial government programmes” by reflecting these in the • planning framework • resource allocation and • performance monitoring processes. • NDP = “high level planning” for Provincially “focused implementation”. NDP Thematic Focus Areas • Policy making in a complex environment • Demographic trends • Economy & employment • Economy infrastructure – the foundation of social & economic development • Environmental sustainability – an equitable transition to a low carbon economy • An integrated and inclusive rural economy • Transforming human settlement and the national space economy • Positioning South Africa in the world • Improving education, training & innovation • Promoting health • Social protection • Building safer communities • Building a capable and developmental state • Fighting corruption • Transforming society & uniting the country MPUMALANGA VISION 2030 A Provincial implementation response to the National Development Plan. Mpumalanga Vision 2030 • Mpumalanga Vision 2030 provides a provincial expression of the key priorities, objectives and targets enumerated in the NDP and expressed within the manifesto • It is a focused and strategic implementation framework that provides a direct implementation response to the National Development Plan. • The framework describes the Province’s approach to realizing the objectives of the NDP in the provincial context • It builds on and informs past & existing sectoral and related planning interventions in MP Provincial Planning Landscape & Linkages Mpumalanga Economic Growth & Development Path Human Resources Development Strategy Infrastructure Master Plan MP V2030 Comprehensive Rural Development Programme Mpumalanga Spatial Framework Human Settlement Master Plan Mpumalanga V2030 Overall Objectives V2030 provides a strategic overview in order to: • Set high level provincial targets • Facilitate decision making and prioritisation • Inform choices and trade offs • Locate strategies, programmes and projects within a focused spatial representation of the content and intention Organizing Structure of the Framework • Economy & employment • Improving education, training & innovation • Healthcare for all • Social Protection SOCIO ECONOMIC OUTCOMES • Economic Infrastructure • Transforming human settlements • Environmental sutainability & resilience • Inclusive rural economy • Building a capable & developmental state • Fighting corruption • Building supportive, safe & cohesive communities. MECHANISMS CONDITIONS Mpumalanga V2030: Priority Outcomes • In line with the principles of the NDP, V2030 highlights the following socio economic outcomes as priorities : • Employment & Economic Growth • Education and Training • Health care for all • Social Protection • These priorities do not imply that the “normal business of government” should be deferred, but rather aim to focus the activities and decisions of the Province on key areas leveraging high impact for improved and sustainable long term socio-economic development in Mpumalanga. • The achievement of these outcomes is further dependent on the critical success factors described as “mechanisms” and “conditions” below. Critical Success Factors: Mechanisms and Conditions • In order for the socio-economic outcomes to be achieved, key mechanisms must be in place to facilitate the achievement of objectives. • In turn, these mechanisms require the strong foundations of a capable developmental state and a safe and cohesive society Mechanisms Economic Infrastructure Conditions A capable and developmental state Integrated Human Settlements Reduced corruption and increased accountability Environmental Sustainability Supportive, safe and cohesive communities. Inclusive Rural Economy Setting Vision 2030 Targets • Mpumalanga Vision 2030 includes key targets for the Province that are in line with those expressed in the NDP. • These targets have been developed with due consideration given to the specific demographic, institutional, spatial and socio economic advantages and challenges of the Province. • In addition, “key considerations” that should inform future planning and decision making within the context of Vision 2030 have been added in order to provide a meaningful context for the targets. V2030 Targets: Economy & Unemployment Indicator NDP Target Mpumalanga V2030 Target Unemployment Rate 6% 6% Number of Employed 11 million additional jobs 1.2 million additional jobs Total employment to 2.1 million to achieve 6% unemployment rate GDP Growth Rate Average annual GDP growth above 5% Average annual GDP growth above 5% GDP per capita Raise per capita GDP to R110 000 in Raise per capita GDP to R110 000 in constant prices constant prices Lower bound poverty line – R416 per person (2009 prices) Reduce the proportion of households Reduce the proportion of households with a monthly income below lower with a monthly income below lower bound poverty line to 0% bound poverty line to 0% Gini Co-efficient (Income inequality) 0.6 0.6 The proportion of income earned by the bottom 40% in SA should rise to 10% by 2030 The proportion of income earned by the bottom 40% in SA should rise to 10% by 2030 Linking the National Development Plan to the MEGDP ( targets up to 2020) CREATE JOBS TRANSFORMATION AND UNITY EXPAND INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSITION TO LOW CARBON ECONOMY FIGHT CORRUPTION MEGDP TRANSFORM URBAN AND RURAL SPACES BUILD A CAPABLE STATE PROVIDE QUALITY HEALTHCARE EDUCATION AND TRAINING 17 Job Drivers Infrastructure For Employment and Development Economic Infrastructure Social Infrastructure Spatial Development: Rural Development Regional & International Cooperation “Job drivers” to create employment opportunities and implement policies to take advantage of them Investing in Social Capital & Public Service The social economy The public sector Job Creation in Strategic Economic Sectors: Agriculture & Forestry Value Chain Mining and Mineral Beneficiation Manufacturing Tourism and Cultural Industries Seizing the Potential for New economies: Green Economy ICT MEGDP: COMPONENTS IMPLEMENTATION FORUM Skills Development & Capacity Building HRDS Rural Development Infrastructure INFRASTRUCTURE & WATER MASTER PLANS CRDP STRATEGY Beneficiation /Production INDUSTRIAL PLAN + TRADE & INVESTMENT PLAN Agriculture & Forestry Mining Manufacturing Tourism Energy &Green Economy ICT P O A Youth, PDI’s SMME’s Co-ops Large Industry Youth, PDI’s SMME’s Co-ops JOBS Youth, PDI’s SMME’s Co-ops Large Industry P O A Youth, PDI’s SMME’s Co-ops Large Industry SPATIAL FRAMEWORK + ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK & BDCP MEGDP FRAMEWORK 19 20 MEGDP OBJECTIVES & TARGETS Unemployme nt MEGDP Targets • Reduce the unemployment rate to 15% by 2020 • Therefore creating 720,000 new jobs • Move from 890 000 employed in 2010 to 1.6 million employed in 2020 Inequality Poverty • Reduce inequality by enhancing the skill set of the labour force, fixed capital investment and improvements in education. • Reducing the Ginicoefficient from 0,65 to 0,55 • Reduce the poverty rate from the 2009 level of 47.8% to 25% by 2020. • Focus will be on job creation through public works programmes, employment guarantee schemes, education and skills attainment Foundation: 5-7% provincial GDP growth per annum 20 V2030 Targets: Health Care for All Indicator NDP Target Mpumalanga V2030 Target Life Expectancy Improve average male & female Improve average male & female life expectancy at life expectancy at birth to 70 birth to 70 years years Universal access Universal access to an equal standard of care regardless of income Universal access to an equal standard of care regardless of income In addition to these targets, the NDP includes the following objectives that should be considered by the Province: • Progressively improve TB prevention & cure • Significantly reduce the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases. • Reduce maternal, infant & child mortality • Reduce injury, accidents & violence by 50% from 2010 levels Health Care for All: Key Considerations Mpumalanga Province currently faces a quadruple Burden of Disease - HIV /AIDS, TB, high maternal and child mortality and violence and injuries. The South African health care system is characterized as fragmented and inequitable due to the huge disparities that exist between the public and private health sectors with regards to the availability of financial and human resources, accessibility and delivery of health services. If Mpumalanga is to achieve the above targets, due consideration must be given to the following approaches: 1. Reduce the burden on clinics and hospitals by increasing the available resources and training for home based care and professional community health workers. 2. Expand, upgrade and maintain the entire provincial health infrastructure 3. Bridge the division between public and private facilities by using PPPs to build the professional, managerial and system efficiencies of public hospitals and clinics. V2030 Targets: Education, Training & Innovation Indicator NDP Target Mpumalanga V2030 Target Pre -school education All children should have at least 2 years of pre-school education 90% of learners in grades 3, 6 &9 must achieve 50% or more in ANA All children should have at least 2 years of pre-school education 90% of learners in grades 3, 6 &9 must achieve 50% or more in ANA Throughput rate Between 80% & 90% of learners should complete 12 years of schooling or vocational training Improve throughput rate of learners to at least 80% Matric pass rate 80% of abovementioned learners should pass exit exams Expand science, technology & innovation outputs by increasing R&D spending by government & by encouraging industry to do so 80% of abovementioned learners should pass exit exams Gross expenditure of research & development (GERD) in MP as a percentage of provincial GDP to increase to at least 2% ANA average mark Innovation In addition to these targets, the NDP includes the following objectives that should be considered by the Province: • Eradicate infrastructure backlogs & ensure that all schools meet the minimum standards by 2016 • Develop programmes and partnerships that produce sufficient artisans to meet the economies needs • Increase the number of students eligible to study towards maths & science based degrees. Education, Training & Innovation: Key Considerations An effective and efficient education system is central to the creation of employment opportunities, economic development, health and citizen engagement with the public sector. In Mpumalanga, the proposed targets are only achievable with due consideration of the following: 1. Teaching must be regarded as an essential service. The province must improve teacher development programmes and performance management systems. 2. The standard and quality of education and educators, as well as school management and organisation is a key priority 3. The learning environment of Mpumalanga’s children must be drastically improved and this requires addressing the infrastructure backlog (classrooms, water, sanitation, electricity and fencing) as well as issues of health and nutrition. 4. The Human Resource Development Strategy must be adequately resourced and operationalised as the province’s human capital development model for education from the foundation phases through to employment. 5. The balance between technical, academic and entrepreneurial skills must be improved. This should also include linking curriculum content with industry needs and “building local talent”. 6. The Mpumalanga University should support the development of priority and scarce skills in the Province.

Developing Mpumalanga’s 2014 – 2019 MTSF NDP MTSF 3-tiered planning system – planning can now happen within the context of a longterm strategic vision and plan Strategic Plans MTSF can now be contextualised as a 5year plan to set the country on a positive trajectory to achieving the long-term vision MTSF 2019 MTSF 2024 MTSF 2029 Developing Mpumalanga’s 2014 – 2019 MTSF MTSF = 5 year expression – centred on the 14 outcomes & associated targets & actions drawn from the NDP/Mpumalanga Vision 2030 Critical actions for 2014-2019 Precision w.r.t indicators & targets to be achieved Key considerations Outputs to be delivered & responsible departments identified Find expression in departmental strat plans Mpumalanga MTSF: Guiding Principles • Developmental & collaborative long term planning perspective improves delivery and impact and eliminates duplication. • MTSF 5 year targets are precise and presented in the context of progress towards the 2030 objectives detailed in the Mpumalanga Vision 2030 Strategic Implementation Framework – foundation, consolidation and expansion • The principle of utilizing “linkages and leverage” should be applied in this MTSF period to lay a foundation for 2030 i.e. it may be necessary to prioritize seemingly “insignificant” programmes in the medium term (e.g. technical expertise / infrastructure maintenance programmes) in order to unlock significant development impact in the long term. Mpumalanga MTSF: Guiding Principles • A core focus for the MTSF period is improved leadership and management for effective programme implementation • Guidelines for effective and strategic resource management (financial, human, infrastructural, organisational) include short/medium term trade offs for long term gain and effective monitoring and evaluation. • Increase efficiencies and build or partner for capacity • Adopt a phased approach if there are insufficient resources to respond to all the objectives simultaneously, immediately or to the desired scale • Generate sufficient, reliable data for evidence based prioritization and choice MTSF (2014-2019) Priorities P1 P2 • Improved Economic Growth & Employment • Improved Quality of Education & Training P3 • Health System Effectiveness: A Robust Foundation for the Implementation of the NHI P4 • Adequate Infrastructure to Facilitate Achievement of Prioritised Outcomes P5 • Improved Quality of Public Services at the Locus of Delivery P6 • Fighting Crime & Corruption Alignment with Government’s Strategic Focus Human Settlements & Basic Services Education & Training P1: Improved Economic Growth & Employment: Agricultural Value Chain & Tourism Development P2: Improve the quality of Education & Training Economy and Jobs Rural Dev.

There will be sufficient new entrants and enough in the unemployed & discouraged pools to achieve the above - the question is whether the provincial economy can create the required number of jobs year after year. In addition, will the new entrants be able to offer prospective employers the specific skills they require?
