NYDA Act no. 54 of 2008 • The Act provides primarily for the NYDA as a unitary structure, responsible for the implementation of youth development programmes, including mainstreaming of youth development activities by all stakeholders. The Act further mandates the Agency to develop an Integrated Youth Development Strategy (IYDS). • 2.

4. LEGISLATIVE MANDATE (CONTINUED…) 4. The National Youth Policy 2015- 2020 The National Youth Policy (NYP) for 2015–2020 (NYP 2020) is developed for all young people in South Africa, with a focus on redressing the wrongs of the past and addressing the specific challenges and immediate needs of the country’s youth. The NYP 2020 builds on South Africa’s first NYP, which covered the period 2009–2014. It improves upon and updates the previous policy by speaking to the new challenges that South Africa’s youth face, while acknowledging that there is more to be done to address the challenges identified in the previous NYP. The NYP 2020 seeks to create an environment that enables the young people of South Africa to reach their potential. The policies, mindful of the global economic challenges that affect South Africa, identifies the mechanisms and interventions that will act as catalysts to help clear critical blockages and achieve this positive environment. The policy imperatives which have been identified as necessary in ensuring the development of young people in the context of South Africa include: a) Economic participation and transformation, b) Education, skills and second chances, c) Health care and combating substance abuse, d) Nation building and social cohesion and e) Building effective and responsive youth development institutions. The NYP further provides parameters for the youth cohort as being ages 14-35.

5. 4. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS The Agency was established by an Act of parliament, act no 54 of 2008. The NYDA Act (2008) mandates the NYDA to develop an Integrated Youth Development Strategy for South Africa and initiate, design, coordinate, evaluate and monitor all programmes that aim to integrate the youth into the economy and society in general. The act instructs the agency to promote a uniform approach to youth development by all organs of state, the private sector and NGOs. The gravity of challenges South Africa is faced with, this requires multi-pronged solutions, that simultaneously promote the development of sustainable livelihoods, reduce poverty, inequality and prioritise the development of policies which create an enabling environment for youth development.

6. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED…) The NYDA continues to play a critical lead role in ensuring that all major stakeholder’s, i.e. government, private sector and civil society, prioritise youth development and contribute towards identifying and implementing lasting solutions which address youth development challenges. Under the Poverty indicator produced by StatsSA “Rates of unemployment, limited educational opportunities and rapid socio-cultural transformations characterised by weakening social controls and breakdown of traditional norms. These challenges have implications for the health and wellbeing of the youth and for the contributions of youthful populations to the economies of African nations”. Programmes and interventions of the NYDA are aligned to key national strategies and priorities such as The New Growth Path, National Development Plan 2030, National Skills Development Act and Annual Programme of Action (PoA) of government and African Youth Charter.

7. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED…) Careful consideration has thus been made by the organisation to prioritise and appropriate the correct resourcing strategies to support the implementation of impactful and relevant youth development programmes through adequate investment allocation to successfully execute and deliver against the NYDA Mandate. In setting the strategic KPI’s and targets of the organisation, the NYDA was cognisant of other meaningful investments made by the government in key youth development initiatives and thus we developed a responsive strategy that complements all these efforts by our government and created a value chain based approach to development. It is our view that a broader and far reaching value chain based approach to youth development is central to the advancement of South Africa as a whole

8. 5. SUMMARY OF THE TURN-AROUND STRATEGY PROGRESS • Implementation of Human Resource projects: • The Agency has implemented several HR projects in line with Turn-Around Strategy i.e. Organisational Structure re-alignment; Staff Skills Audit; Change Management and is now moving towards the implementation of Performance Management(BSC project for the 16/17 FY) • Repositioning of programmes: • The National Youth Service Programme has been repositioned • The Economic Participation programmes are being aligned and integrated to widen access of youth to economic activity and foster greater impact. • Strategic Communication: • The Agency is operationalising various Local Youth Offices across the country including the new Full Service Branch in Thulamela to promote access to its products and services • Launched an internship programme to support operationalisation and creation of work exposure by youth; • Other Major Activities achieved: • The Youth Employment Plan 2030 has been approved by the Deputy Minister in the Presidency; • The South African Integrated Youth Development Strategy has been approved by the Deputy Minister in the Presidency; • Launched the Youth Development Institute;

9. 6. FORMALATION OF THE ANNUAL PEFORMANCE PLAN 2016-2017 • Strategy formulation within NYDA is guided by Framework for Strategy and Annual Performance Planning as issued in the Instruction Notice by Treasury in 2010 Strategic Planning which sets out the Agency’s policy priorities, programmes and project plans for a five-year period, as approved by its Executive authority, within the scope of available resources. • The focus is on Strategic Outcomes oriented goals for the Agency as a whole, and objectives for each of its main service-delivery areas aligned to its budget programmes and, where relevant, also its budget sub-programme
