2008/09

When the National Industrial Par ticipation Pro gramme (NIPP) was initially launched in 1997, it was met with considerable skepticism from some quarters, particularly after government had approved the Strategic Defence Packages (SDP) in 1999. Some argued that government was naïve to believe that the major corporations from whom expensive purchases were made would reinvest on the scale they had promised, and deliver jobs to the degree anticipated.

Objectives of the NIPP are:

Sustainable economic growth•

Establishment of new trading partners•

Fast track foreign direct investment into •South Africa

Exports of South African value added •goods and services

Job creation•

Human resource development•

Technology transfer•

Economic benefits to previously •disadvantaged communities

economy. The NIPP Secretariat monitors and enforces this process, within the dti’s Industrial Development Division (IDD) (previously known as EIDD). In addition, the obligations are shaped by cross-cutting national priorities, such as promoting Black Economic Empowerment and Small Business Development.

The dti has been mandated with the management and monitoring of the NIPP. The objectives include increasing the levels of foreign direct investment, a ss i s t i ng w i th ga i n i ng ma r ke t acce ss fo r South African value-added goods and services, local job creation and ski l ls development. The mission of the Programme is to leverage economic benefits and support the development of South African industry by effectively utilizing the instrument of government procurement.

All obligations, both those originating from defence procurement and non-defence procurement, are monitored and managed. Each obligor has milestones to reach within their fulfilment period. Should they not meet these targets, a contractually prescribed breach procedure is followed, allowing the obligor time to correct the situation. At the end of this process, the milestone will be reassessed. Should the obligor still be lagging behind, a recommendation on how to proceed will be made to the Minister of Trade and Industry.

More than a decade after its inception, the jury on the NIPP is in. We can now properly assess the efficacy of the NIPP as major obligors2, closely monitored by the national Department of Trade and Industry (the dti), complete their side of the deal by fully discharging their obligations against pre-set criteria called “milestones”. The conclusion of this report is that the NIPP is working well.

This report gives a brief history of the NIPP, an overview of how the programme works, and high lights the successes and failures and the lessons learned going forward.

A Brief History of the NIPP

In South Africa the NIPP came into effect in 1996, in terms of Cabinet Memorandum 10/1996. In terms of this Cabinet Memorandum, any state purchase from companies selling foreign products to the Government of South Africa in excess of USD10 million is required to incur an NIPP obligation that is calculated at 30% of the imported content of the purchase contract. The set amounts, to be discharged within fixed timescales, are reinvested into the South African

2 Obligor: the company which has incurred the obligation in

terms of the NIPP.

NIPP REPORT 2009


By July 2010 the NIPP had seen the implementation of 221 projects and credits in excess of USD19 billion had been awarded. This was primarily in the form of investments made, as well as exports generated, which have led to the creation and/or retention of approximately 26,000 jobs directly created and many more indirect jobs (see Table 4 on page 14).

The NIPP is working, and it is working by and large along the lines intended. There is little doubt that the NIPP has beneficially impacted on the growth and trajectory of the South African economy, and thus on the lives of our citizens.

How the NIPP Works

Industrial Participation Programmes are not unique to South Africa. They have been used by many countries, including Brazil, India, Greece and Portugal, amongst others, to offset major purchases by governments of large budget items from foreign suppliers. They seek to mitigate the impact of such purchases on the national fiscus and ensure (as far as possible) that knowledge, skills and new technologies are transferred to the country doing the purchasing, to break cycles of dependency and to stimulate local industrial and manufacturing development.

Offsets also provide governments with extra leverage for their own particular national economic strategies, for instance to develop underdeveloped regions, rural areas or marginalised and vulnerable communities (women, youth, etc.). The discharge of obligations helps local companies to add further value to local raw materials, and to expand export capacity and product ranges. Sometimes, obligors can help by providing access to finance for higher risk start ups or entirely new ventures, or even by investing in training colleges and SME start-ups.

The NIPP thus forms an integral part of the South African government’s economic development strategy. As such, it is aligned with industrial policy priorities as well as the key socio-economic imperatives of the government of the day.

Determining the NIPP Obligation

The obligations incurred must be at least 30% of the value of the imported content of the tender, and involve a signed contract with the obligor in question to commit to the agreement, with penalties for non-compliance.

WORKINGTOGETHER


Obligors submit projects they wish to support as part of the discharge of their obligations to the National Industrial Participation (NIPP) secretariat, which assesses them against a variety of criteria for eligibility, framed by industrial development interests and priorities. Where necessary, the NIPP secretariat assists obligors to find suitable projects. If approved, the performance of approved projects is monitored until they are completed. In Appendix 1 of this report there are many detailed examples of such projects.

Each of the projects is classified initially by the dti for specific purposes between foreign direct investment (FDI) and export promotion (EP) related projects.

Monitoring the NIPP Obligation

Performance is measured by the NIPP Secretariat against the fulfillment of NIPP obligations as incurred by the obligors. The majority of NIPP obligations are tracked against investment and market access milestones, which in turn generate economic activity in terms of job creation, technology transfer and training. The NIPP also delivers high value added projects across industry sectors. Concerted efforts to include Black Economic Empowerment (BEE), Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMME), promote women and youth-owned enterprises and work opportunities, and geographic spread are evident across the spectrum of implemented projects.

Measuring the Obligor Performance

Table 1 below sets out the updated progress, as for the dti’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2010, on the achievement of the obligations due by the obligors, under the Strategic Defence Package (SDP).

Table 1: Progress in Obligor milestones to 31 March 2010

Agusta Westland £108,644,495 To be assessed in September 2010

* The last claims are in the process of being processed

which should then satisfy this obligation in full. These claims

have taken longer than anticipated to finalise due to the lack

of administrative capacity within the obligor’s organisation.

NIPP REPORT 2009


In order to monitor the obligors’ progress, the dti has endeavoured over the past years to develop an industrial participation electronic database that would allow staff to electronically update information. A system has been procured from an external vendor and is currently in the process of being customized, tested and implemented.

Strategic Defence Programme (SDP) Obligations

The SDP still accounts for approximately 85% of the NIPP in value terms. Three of the six obligors under the SDP have completed their NIPP obligations to date, namely Thales under the Corvette Combat Suite Programme, Agusta Westland under the Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) Programme and the German Submarine Consortium (GSC) under the Submarine Programme. The German Frigate Consortium (GFC) is very close to completion, with only administrative matters left to complete.

On obligations not related to the defence procurements, significant progress has been made in getting the South African automotive sector to participate in the programme, with most Original Engine Manufacturers (OEMs) having signed agreements with the dti. Some South African based companies have been developed to be first tier suppliers to OEMs like Airbus. This has led to a number of localization programmes, as in the case of Volkswagen and Toyota SA. Various skills development programmes have been implemented.

The geographic spread of the NIPP (see pages 6 – 10) shows which projects have been or are being implemented. These projects are categorised according to provinces. Some of the provinces have benefited from fewer NIPP projects than other provinces. The reasons for this variance range from the choice of the obligors to viability of the economic sectors in the different provinces.

NIPP REPORT 2009


Strategically, the NIPP investments are highly sig nifi cant for the South African economy in terms of breaking down international monopoly barriers. Many well-established industries that operate globally (e.g. energy, aviation) are dominated by a few big players, and the international supply chains that support these industries are extremely difficult for newcomers to break into, especially for relatively small newcomers. In terms of the NIPP,

THE NIPP

New and Strategic Sectors

The National Industrial Participation Programme (NIPP) was measured by a macro-economic impact assessment study in 2009.2

Table 2 shows the impact of the NIPP on the transfer of technology to South African industry, thus keeping the South African economy globally competitive. It is not just the transfer of new technology that is important, but also its integration into production, which the NIPP projects facilitate.

2 Conducted by Mosaka Economic Consultants. By using a

general equilibrium economic impact model, with the Social

Accounting Matrix (SAM) as basis, the direct and indirect

effects of the NIPP projects (managed by the dti) on the

South African economy were quantified in 2008 prices.

WORKINGTOGETHER


It is also important to note the contribution the NIPP is able to make in sustaining or expanding significant areas of expertise that currently may be neglected, but in future are likely to pay dividends. One example is in the field of green technologies, from plastic recycling to biofuels. In this instance, with the IDC and a local Workers’ Trust, GFC-ThyssenKrupp has created a green industry export, with the production of wood fuel pellets in Sabie, Mpumalanga Province, including the necessary technology transfer. Exports of ZAR60 million a year are anticipated. A second example is the retention of nuclear expertise for peaceful purposes, which is important for the development of South Africa’s energy and medical sectors. Here AREVA is supporting the ARECSA nuclear technology training programme and Lesedi Services Signum, a local BEE company which provides nuclear maintenance and engineering services, such as mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and control, plant engineering and technical assistance.

obligors can create opportunities for South African manufacturers to become integrat ed into these supply chains. A particularly good example of this is Aerosud’s incorporation of South African suppliers of aircraft galleys, using local design and manufacturers to supply the giant Airbus A319, cementing Aerosud SA as a fully qualified and certified Airbus supplier. Similarly, MAN Turbo, a local Ferrostaal project, has consolidated a South African manufacturing system of turbine blades for export worldwide, by opening MAN’s global business network to MAN Turbo – with all the added credibility of Ferrostaal’s international credentials as a global player in its industry sector. Another example is the strategic joint venture between SAFRAN and Denel which resulted in the formation of local company Turbomeca to produce Teargay box and gearbox components for the UK and other European regions. The company has been integrated into the Rolls-Royce supply chain.

Direct and Indirect Impact

Overall the NIPP has helped GDP, the balance of payments (BoP), employment and government revenue significantly.

In sum, the impact on GDP has been almost ZAR15 billion a year, some 85,000 jobs have been created or sustained, and there has been a ZAR11.3 billion reduction in our BOP.

The NIPP has a major impact on the South African economy via its contribution to economic growth and the alleviation of poverty. Both in terms of absolute GDP and employment creation the NIPP fares particularly well.

NIPP REPORT 2009


A notable example is the BAE Systems project, Dunlop Industrial Products, which saved 800 jobs in KwaZulu Natal, producing rubber hosing for exports worth USD5.3 million a year, with an investment by the obligor of ZAR15 million. In isolated rural areas the impact on scarce job opportunities can be even more dramatic. The black-owned Magwa Tea Plantation in the former Transkei, with the support of Ferrostaal Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd and in partnership with the Eastern Cape Development Corporation (ECDC), created 1,050 permanent and up to 2,000 seasonal jobs (mostly for women) in return for an investment by Ferrostaal and some training and refurbishment. For more information about these and other examples, see Appendix 1.

MEASURABLE IMPACT

Job Creation

At the heart of the offset investments that make up the National Industrial Participation Programme (NIPP) is the creation of jobs. The blanket term “jobs”, however, does not do justice to the NIPP’s full contribution in this regard. It is not just a matter of jobs created and the social impact thereof. In a sample of projects from obligors reported upon here, incurred as a result of state purchases affecting a wide range of projects from the Gautrain and Eskom to military helicopters, it becomes clear that the Programme affects job creation from a variety of different angles. Sometimes it is also not just a matter of new jobs in new industrial sectors in new geographic locations, but also of jobs saved as a result of obligor investments, technology transfer and training.

15

WORKINGTOGETHER


At the other end of the technological scale is the example of Ferrostaal’s joint venture to develop a maintenance and service yard for oil and gas platforms, especially given the proximity of West African and Angolan oil fields. This Cape Town-based project will create 1,000 jobs, is partly black-owned, develops local skills in a high potential and internationally competitive growth sector and shows the catalytic effect that NIPP investments can have.

Access to International Markets

Manufacturing has also benefited. BAES SAAB, through Denel SAAB Aerostructures, makes South Africa a supplier of aircraft components for the international market. SAAB Grintek develops and delivers software for the Eurofighter programme. Similarly, South African company Aerosud has become a first tier supplier of engine components to Airbus.

Indeed, expanding South Afr ica’s expor ts is encouraging the healthy diversif ication of South Afr ica’s economy, as wel l as the diversification of export markets, and also earns the country valuable foreign exchange that strengthens the national balance of payments, and thus lifts the ceiling on economic growth rates (with more exports, we can afford more imports, for example of factory equipment). Thus the transfer of skills from Agusta Westland, plus injections of capital and technology, led to the establishment of Rotorway and the first South African manufacture of helicopters of international quality, for export. And ThyssenKrupp Engineering SA helped to create and sustain 400 jobs in the engineering and export of plants for the cement and mining industries, generating ZAR500 million and using ThyssenKrupp technology. Naturally all of these enterprises pay tax, which swells government revenue.

16

NIPP REPORT 2009


Access to Finance

Sometimes access to finance provided by or secured by the obligors is all that is required to help South African companies reach success. For instance, Hasso Plattner Ventures Africa, in partnership with Ferrostaal and as part of the NIPP obligations, established a venture capital fund to assist entrepreneurs in developing, commercialising and distributing innovative new technologies.

Enterprise Development

Small businesses have also received attention. Most projects have outsourcing initiatives for local small businesses. As already noted, some NIPP projects focus exclusively on finance for SMEs. Agusta Westland’s support for Storms River Adventures, a 65% black-owned tourism company, gave jobs to 10 local women in the high-unemployment Tsitsikamma area. Cisco Systems SA (Pty) Ltd, in return for their sales to Telkom, has established a CISCO Entrepreneur Institute to supply entrepreneurial education content to South African entrepreneurs across the board. It has also initiated a Global Talent Acceleration Programme using IT to exploit opportunities for entrepreneurs in new sectors with high growth potential internationally.

Critical Skills Development

When it comes to the youth, the NIPP’s major contribution to skills development and training comes to the fore. Areva supports the ARECSA Human Capital project, training 342 people so far in the nuclear industry field. Project leaders for South Africa, another Areva project, has sent 20 black engineers to train in strategy and management competencies and project leadership at La Sorbonne University in France. Kgwanyape Energy Solutions, an Agusta Westland project, which develops low cost, low power systems, received an Africa Energy Award in 2010 for the best leadership in skills development. The Honeywell Automation Colleges in Midrand and Secunda train engineers in the very latest technology. Liebherr Training Academy funds skills training for artisans and apprentices. Siemens Ltd has recapitalised the Lephalale FET College in Limpopo Province to train engineering students, mostly recruited from the surrounding rural areas. EC Biomass, a green industry project in the Eastern Cape Province, partners with local universities in technical skills training.

All of these investments will bear fruit in the longer term, addressing critical skills shortages, creating jobs and enhancing economic growth. Without the NIPP they would not exist.

Cross-Cutting Impact

The NIPP thus forms an integral part of the South African government’s economic development strategy. As such, it is aligned with industrial policy priorities as well as the key socio-economic initiatives of the government of the day.

In addition, the NIPP supports government’s policy to spread investments across poorer regions, and impacts on marginalised groups such as rural women and the youth. Agusta-Westland’s Cat-a-Trac cataract detection device project provided financial support for the development of a low-cost cataract detection device especially for the rural poor. Ferrostaal’s investment in Limpopo Tea revived a dying industry creating up to 2,300 seasonal jobs for local women in the former Venda area.

NIPP REPORT 2009


OF THE NIPP

1. The total value of the counter trade obligations by participants currently being monitored by the dti is approximately USD16.5 billion.

2. The average annual impact of the NIPP on the GDP of South Africa will amount to ZAR14.8 billion (based on 2008 prices). Thus, each year, ZAR14.8 billion of GDP is generated, consisting of remuneration of employees and returns on capital invested (profits among others) due to the construction and operation taking place with regards to NIPP projects.

3. Almost 44% of the jobs created or sustained by the NIPP are for semi-skilled workers. This shows the substantial contribution that the NIPP makes towards poverty alleviation and the eradication of unemployment among previously disadvantaged communities.

4. The total impact on household income amounts to ZAR15.9 billion of which 17% is earmarked for the lower-income households. Thus, of the total income generated directly and indirectly through the NIPP, a large percentage reaches the poor communities in South Africa. The impact on the low income households comes through the linkages that the Programme has with other sectors of the economy, i.e. agriculture, textiles and clothing etc., through the buying of materials and the payment of salaries in the system as a whole.

5. The annual fiscal impact amounts to approximately ZAR7.3 billion per annum through direct and indirect taxes due to the NIPP. All these additional taxes provide the government with revenues that can be used to improve the average quality of life of the average citizen in South Africa, especially with regard to education and health.

6. The impact on the Balance of Payments is a positive ZAR11.3 billion per annum over the lifespan of the NIPP projects.

7. Had it not been for these obligations under the NIPP, it is highly unlikely that South Africa would have attracted the same level of total foreign direct investment.

WORKINGTOGETHER


In this 2009 NIPP Report the details of projects undertaken by the obligors under review are given without fear or favour. The fact is that not all projects succeed. It would be unrealistic to expect otherwise. What is important is to learn from the failures, so that the experience is not repeated. Sometimes, however, exogenous factors impinge on projects that are well beyond the control of either the companies or the governments involved (popularly called “Black Swan” events).

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever

achieve greatly”Robert F. Kennedy

The details are in this Report, but the main general reasons for project failure can be summarised as:

The global financial crisis, which dries up •sources of finance and affects demand in export markets.

Currency fluctuations, which reduce •South Africa’s competitiveness against low wage suppliers such as China.

Poor or inexperienced local management •and the normal risks of any new venture.

The sheer number of projects involved.•

Obligors are sometimes required by local •priorities to invest outside their own core areas of business and thus expertise – for instance in agro-processing or tourism.

OF THE NIPP

NIPP REPORT 2009


LEARNED

1. Extra care is needed in the selection of projects outside the obligor’s area of core business.

2. Due diligence is required in the selection of partners.

3. As a relatively open economy, South Africa is vulnerable to external shocks beyond its control, such as oil price and currency fluctuations and the global financial markets, which may challenge initial costing and profitability projections.

4. Skills development is as critical as market access.

5. The NIPP provides an inside track to incor porat ing new technologies into production in South Africa.

6. Access to new thinking and cutting edge technology which is proprietary to major international corporations is a major benefit of the NIPP.

7. Local partners themselves need to be capacitated and carefully monitored.

21

WORKINGTOGETHER


The NIPP has seen the implementation of over 220 projects, the awarding of over USD19 billion in credits for both investment and export generation, and the creation and retention of some 85,000 jobs.

In conclusion, based on the size of the absolute macro-economic impacts (in view of the initial investments) as well as the effectiveness criteria, the NIPP is a significant contributor to the alleviation of poverty and economic growth in South Africa. All this therefore points towards the success of the NIPP.

“… NIPP is a significant contributor to the alleviation of poverty and economic

growth in South Africa. ”
