Strategic Goals and Priorities Strategic Goals and Priorities
Dialogue, Trust and Partnership “Government alone cannot solve the challenges faced by the country, but working together, solutions are possible.” - President Jacob Zuma in his 2012 State of the Nation Address “Our new story, our period of transition, is about building modern infrastructure, a vibrant economy, a decent quality of life for all, reduced poverty, decent employment opportunities. It is a story that must be written by all of us. Not just by government. Not just by business. Not just by unions. By all of us, South Africans from all corners of this country.” - Finance Minister PravinGordhan in his 2012 Budget Speech “The requisite policy stability and coherence will be supported by effective social dialogue that helps establish a broad consensus on long-run policy goals and a vision for the country, and facilitates the necessary tradeoffs and sacrifices by ensuring a visibly fair distribution of the benefits from growth.” - The New Growth Path, p. 6 “Moving onto this new trajectory of high, sustained and job-creating growth implies a break from our current path dependency. It requires commitment by all sectors of society to contribute to the efforts required to meet our common objectives. There will be moments when difficult choices will have to be made… The ability to do this is a function of leadership among all social partners.” - The National Development Plan, p. 134
“The strategic thrust over the next period is to upgrade and strengthen the capacity of the institution on the one hand while promoting more effective forms of engagement between the social partners.” - Minister Oliphant in the Foreword to NEDLAC’s 2012 Strategic Plan
