Context: policy integration “Some of the key programmes of the

National Development Plan are already being implemented. These include the New Growth Path framework with its major infrastructure development programme, as well as the state-led industrial policy.”

- President Zuma, January 2013

“…the New Growth Path is government's key programme to take country onto a higher growth trajectory… The proposals in this chapter are largely consistent with these policies.”

-NDP, p 117

• Means: more integrated actions in the state and partnerships with private sector

The NGP toolbox:• Jobs drivers: Infrastructure, core

productive sectors, value-adding and public services, social economy, African regional development, rural development

• Policy drivers: Competition and trade policy, BBBEE, labour policy, skills development, industrial policy, innovation policy

• Resource drivers: Government budgets, DFIs, retirement funds

• Social dialogue: Building SA through partnership and social pacts .

...but more to be done

• Unemployment levels still high and youth unemployment a particular challenge

• Need to improve performance of productive sectors of the economy: manufacturing, mining and beneficiation, agriculture and agro-processing

• Effective implementation of decisions need to be improved• New challenges from

– Worsening global environment – Rising electricity and other user costs – Workplace and community conflicts.

National Infrastructure Plan

• February 2012: Plan outlined by President• 18 Strategic integrated Projects covering whole country• Action: moved from planning to active implementation – SONA

February 2013 contained some highlights• Jobs: 150 000 construction jobs in state-led infrastructure

projects monitored by PICC• Example: Electricity: 675kms of electricity transmission lines that

were laid last year. It is the largest level in more than 20 years. • Example: Rail: Majuba rail line – it is the first large new rail line

laid by the state since 1986.• Example: Water: De Hoop Dam together with the Mooi Mgeni

Dam created a new water yield of 126 million cubic meters – significantly more than the water consumption of the city of Mangaung and Pietermaritzburg combined.

Infrastructure & role of EDD

• Convenes meetings of the PICC Council, MANCO and Secretariat• Collects information on 18 SIPs every quarter for Cabinet,

showing level of implementation, spending and jobs• Coordinates information to develop Skills Plans for every SIP and

to aggregate these into a National Skills Plan• Work with the IDC on a localisation Plan for every SIP• Collects and analyses data on quarterly infrastructure spending

by key public agencies, provinces, metros and national departments for Cabinet to consider

• Identifies blockages in implementation and makes recommendations to the PICC and Cabinet

• Monitors work to deepen the 20 year project pipeline by ensuring proposals are subjected to feasibility processes and timelines are developed.

Infrastructure and localisation

• EXAMPLE 1: in six cities we are connecting bus, train and taxi transport to provide urban workers with a cheaper and quicker means of travel. Previously, the buses imported from Brazil. Last year, we introduced new tender conditions that require 80% local manufacturing. Close to 250 buses will be made in South Africa.

The Jo'burg buses will be made at Marco Polo’s plant in Gauteng. The chassis will be made at Mercedes Benz in East London. Busmark is setting up a new factory in Cape Town, with IDC support, to manufacture this city’s buses there.

• EXAMPLE 2: last year the IDC partnered with a local company to complete a contract for supply, manufacturing and erection of an air-cooled condenser system for Eskom’s Kusile power station. The contract value is R2,4 billion. It will use 53 000 tons of steel and create about 750 jobs.

Competition and Trade Commissions

• Competition Commission– Reduce input costs in the economy– Increase levels of competition– Ensure mergers/acquisition approval promote public interest goals

such as employment and small business development– Investigate price-fixing and corporate collusion and take firm action

• International Trade Administration Commission– Promote improved trade levels, with a focus on a developmental

trade policy that promotes industrialisation and jobs– Reduce input costs for value-added products through lower tariffs

or rebates of duty– Provide protection for industries as part of a plan to boost

competitiveness and jobs.

15

The IDC and sefa

• The IDC is the country’s largest Development Finance Institution:– Increase the level of funding– Decrease the time taken for approval of projects– Reduce the cost of lending to local companies – Shift to key New Growth Path sectors– Improve development outcomes: jobs, rural development

• sefa is the new agency for small business funding– Consolidate the work and operations of the three merged groupings into

an effective small business funding machine– Improve the level of funding available– Measure the impact on SMMEs and cooperatives– Strengthen the capacity in rural areas and poorer provinces– Consolidate the work with other agencies and departments as well as

provinces and local government– Promote training and communication projects to support small business:

eg partnership with SAICA.16

Dialogue and Accords

• Implement the Accords on– National Skills– Basic Education– Local Procurement– Green Economy

• Support the – October 2012 Social Accord

• Complete and support the Youth Employment Accord• Develop consensus on other NGP areas such as infrastructure.

EXPENDITURE TRENDS

•The spending focus over the medium term period will be on strengthening the institutional capacity of the competition bodies, development finance institutions and trade administration for which the department has an oversight function.

•Between 2009/10 and 2012/13, expenditure increased in the Investment for Economic Development sub-programme due to transfers and subsidies to the capitalisation of the Agro-processing Competitiveness Fund. To date, the fund has committed R76 million in

disbursements, which are expected to result in job creation.

•Spending in the Investment for Economic Development sub-programme is expected to increase further due to the capitalisation of the Small Enterprise Finance Agency, a

subsidiary of the Industrial Development Corporation. The agency expects to approve further financing for SMMEs to the value of R185 million over the MTEF period.

•Competitiveness and Trade for Decent Work sub-programme provides policy oversight and strategic direction to the Competition Commission, Competition Tribunal and the International Trade Administration Commission.

34

•Between 2009/10 and 2012/13, the transfers to the regulatory bodies increased significantly as a result of transfers to the Competition Commission for the establishment of the cartels division and associated staffing costs. Spending on goods and services is expected to decline significantly due to the reprioritisation of spending on consultants and professional services, while spending on compensation of employees is expected to increase due to improved conditions of service.

•Spending will increase in the Green Economy sub-programme over the medium term due to funds of R4.8 million in 2013/14, R5.1 million in 2014/15 and R5.3 million in 2015/16 reprioritised from other sub-programmes to this sub-programme to enable it to implement its activities. The programme has a funded establishment of 38 posts. The Department used the skills of staff employed in various state-owned entities and DFI’s to implement work connected to the PICC and thus did not need to fill these posts with staff on the EDD establishment. However, in order to address the growing workload in Programme Three, further staff appointments will be made in the year ahead.

EXPENDITURE TRENDS

•The spending focus will be on increasing the co-ordination of policies on economic development through the activities of the National Social Dialogue and Strategic Frameworks and Capacity Building for Economic Development sub-programmes.

•The Capacity Building for Economic Development sub-programme is also the fastest growing over the medium term, mainly due to the expected increase in the staff required to conduct the activities effectively. The staff skills base will change with greater emphasis on coordination and implementation skills, focused on

giving effect to the various Accords previously concluded.

Concluding Remarks

• In under 4 years EDD has established itself and built its initial capacity. In the past year it has leveraged off this capacity to strengthen its work and impact

• It has played a key role in the development of strategic frameworks, the NGP, Outcome 4, the development of the National Infrastructure Plan and alignment between the NDP and existing frameworks

• EDD-coordinated social dialogue has resulted in five key social accords

• The level of industrial funding has increased significantly over the past year

• EDD has made good progress in implementing its previous APP

• In the period ahead, more focus will be on implementation of previously developed policy and plans including the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP)

• EDD’s evolving mandate and work focus grows as more programmes of the NGP are rolled-out.
