  4. Content • Part A: Executive Summary • Part B: Strategic Overview • Part C: Strategy • Part D: Links to Other Plans • Appendices

  5. Executive Summary p.9-12 • IDT is required to undertake a robust review of its environment, consider its significance and implications and make strategic choices. • Mandate is grounded in: • Constitution and the Bill of Rights. • MTSF which provided the parameters for the IDT’s strategic choices in terms of its strategic goals, objectives and the application of the public resources with which it is entrusted. • Strategic focus reflects a shift in focus from primarily a physical infrastructure delivery implementer to facilitation of sustainable development towards being a world class community development agency. • A key consideration is the resources available to deliver on the IDT’s mandate. • Corporate Plan takes account of relevant frameworks and protocols

  6. Historical Background and Context p.13-14 • The IDT is a Trust and a Development Agency established in 1990 through a R2billion endowment from government. It is governed by its Deed of Trust and relevant legislative frameworks. • IDT was constituted as a Schedule 2 public entity with the promulgation of the PFMA in 1999 to support government with the eradication of poverty. • Distinct phases in the 20-year life span of the IDT which correspond with shifts in the national development agenda and priorities as determined by the Shareholder and has effectively delivered its mandate • IDT has a cross-cutting mandate serving all spheres of government and reports to Parliament through the Public Works with the Minister as the Executive Authority

  7. Vision and Mission p.15 • Vision • A leading knowledge-based development agency. • Mission • The IDT, together with strategic partners, will enable poor communities to recognize and unlock their own potential for sustainable development.

  8. Core Values and Operating Principles p.15-16

  9. Environmental Analysis: Key Issues p.16- 21 • The IDT utilizes a PESTEL analysis which examines political, economic, social, technological, legal and policy perspective strategy within the macro-environment • Political: South Africa enjoys political stability as is evidenced by the 77% voter participation in the 4th national democratic elections. The 2010 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement set out the key spending priorities as: • Improving the quality of basic education • Enhancing the health of our people • Making our communities safer • Fostering rural development • Creating jobs; and, • Investing in local government and human settlements.

  10. Environmental Analysis: Key Issues p.16- 21 • Economic: New policy regime and instruments introduced after 1994 yielded multiple outcomes such as macro economic stability contributing to unprecedented sustained economic growth. • Social: Poverty in both urban and rural areas has proven to be stubborn, with many citizens having not all benefited from the social policy reforms and programmes such as the delivery of basic services, transfer of houses and land. • Technological: South Africa has made great strides in the information technology and communication sectors. • Legal: The Constitution remains the supreme law of the Republic of South Africa and PFMA the cornerstone of the management of state funds.

  11. Sector Analysis p.21-24 • In 2007, the IDT commissioned a study to review 310 listed public entities delivering services or funding at national, provincial and local level • The study revealed that technically the development gap in SA is fully funded. What is lacking is delivery at community level. A cross-cutting mechanism is needed at community level to holistically address community aspirations and leverage community assets. • SWOT Analysis p.24-25: This analysis of strengths weaknesses, threats and opportunities was considered in the operational plans of units and in individual performance agreements (See Table 3)

  12. Strategy (p.25-28.); Strategic Goals (p.29); KPIs (p.29-31) • Strategy: Government’s PoA has a strong emphasis on people centeredness, sustainable development, rural development, social cohesion and poverty eradication. • The IDT’s approach is anchored in the delivery of social infrastructure as redefined, “social infrastructure as all the necessary measures, facilities and networks required to prepare communities to receive, own, manage and sustain their own development.” • Strategic Goals: Articulates the IDT’s responsibilities in promoting sustainable development in the poor and marginalized areas in the country, as an effective and efficient organisation . See Table 5 Corporate Business • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Table 6. Derived from the implementation phase of the IDT’s 2010/30 Strategic Vision constitutes the measures by which the organisation’s success in achieving its objectives will be measured.

  14. Detailed Plans • The IDT’s Corporate Plan was prepared for a period to 3-years, the remainder of the current MTEF or term of the current Administration • ..\..\..\..\2012-14 CORPORATE STRATEGY\CORPORATE PLAN\2011-12 IDT APP.docx • For purposed of planning and monitoring, the Corporate Business Plan and is captured as an Annual Performance Plan which among other delineates quarterly targets. • QUARTERLY TARGETS.docx • High Level Budget . . . ..\..\..\..\2012-14 CORPORATE STRATEGY\CORPORATE PLAN\Budget 2012 Meeting 14032011 submit.xlsx

  15. Service Delivery Model • IDT a key vehicle for advancing the key priorities of government by implementing programmes for departments across all 3 spheres of government. Spends in excess of R2bn p.a. in development programmes • Its work is commissioned through concluded programme implementation agreements with client departments and intervention (e.g., nature; location; deliverables) therefore is the client ‘s discretion • Partially recovers operating costs at between 3.5-5% for infrastructure programmes • Incorporates government strategic imperatives in its programming – job creation; economic empowerment, skills development etc. • Acts as a programme management support as against project management as against the role played by built environment consultants • Currently pursuing transformation aimed inter alia at reviewing mandate legal framework and funding model to focus more sharply on community development rather than service delivery support

  16. Strategic Enablers • Empowered employee Culture: IDT employees are generally free to take decisions and to apply discretion where required hence faster decision making • Stable and strong leadership: stability at board and senior management has enabled incremental growth, institutional building and sustained organizational performance over the past seven years • Good relationship with Executive Authority: this has helped to improve relations with the Public Works family and thus contributed in safeguarding organisational sustainability • Automated processes and delivery reporting systems: payment process and the programme reporting dashboard system have improved organizational performance. Ability to adjust to new portfolio demands the review of processes for automation into a seamless integrated system: Vendor Management; Contract Management,; Procurement; Management Fee Billing & Collection; Services Costing & Pricing • Strong governance culture: institutional mechanisms and practices regulating planning, performance management, reporting, and board interface have protected organisational integrity.

  17. Major Inhibitors • Organisational insecurity: lack of protected mandate creates insecurity and undermines institutional building as more focus is placed on pleasing potential clientele and influential stakeholders at the expense of the former. • Complex and conflicted clientele interests: this often results in misunderstandings and investment by the IDT in non-fruit bearing activities. • Lack of timeous and integrated planning by clients – this often result in adverse programme funding protocol; late start of projects and tensions between IDT and clients. • Client budget deficits – often leads to service provider non payments, litigations, work stoppages, community unhappiness, and bad reputation for the IDT • Conflict between public policy planning cycles and the pace of community based development: Unlike targets primarily reliant on technical inputs (e.g., no. of houses or electricity connections), community-based targets (e.g., community development plans, project and programmes initiated) are dependent on a range of factors (e.g., trust; community priorities;; absorptive capacity; conflicts) which are out of the IDT’s control, determines the pace of sustainable development. The dynamics of community development do not neatly fit within a financial year.

  18. Governance Structures p.32-33 • Shareholder:On an annual basis the IDT reviews and agrees on its Shareholders Compact with its Executive Authority, the Minister of Public Works. It represents an agreement between the Executive Authority and the Accounting Authority of the entity, with respect to performance expectations and parameters. The Shareholders Compact is attached as Appendix 3. • Board of Trustees: A summary of the race and gender profile of the Board is reflected in Table 7 and the resumes of the Trustees are attached as Appendix 5 • Executive Management: A summary of the race and gender profile of the Executive is reflected in Table 8 and the resumes are attached as Appendix 6.

  19. Links to Other Plans p.34-48 • Financial Plan: • The IDT’s financial capacity, both current and in the future, is critical to allowing it to succeed in its endeavours. • The overall financial strategy is therefore to optimise its working capital requirements by curtailing overhead expenditure where possible and to accelerate revenue generation mainly through cost recoveries from social infrastructure programmes managed on behalf of government. • The corporate strategy requires the IDT to invest its own funds in meeting its mandate through community-mandated sustainable development and poverty eradication programmes.. • Given the depth of chronic poverty and evidence of the costs associated with community-driven and based development, this strategic focus area will require a material and sustainable source of additional funding. Refer to Appendix 1 and 1A of the Corporate Plan • The government has given the IDT R150m for this one year 2011/12 to fund the organisation's budget shortfalls, the transformation and organisational realignment process
