THE MANDATE OF THE DEPARTMENT (1)

NSI can be understood as a set of functioning institutions, organisations and policies that interact constructively in the pursuit of a common set of social and economic goals and

objectives, seeking to promote change through the introduction of innovations.

The NSI remains an ideal for which South Africa continues to strive. It is an enabling framework for science, technology and innovation (STI).

The Department of Science and Technology (DST) derives its mandate from the 1996 White Paper on Science and Technology, which introduced the concept of a National System of

Innovation.

3

DST OVERVIEW

THE MANDATE OF THE DEPARTMENT (2)

In this regard, the measure of success will be the level to which science, technology and innovation (STI) play a driving role in enhancing productivity, economic growth and socio-

economic development.

The latter, particularly, seeks to contribute to the transformation of the South African economy from a resource-based into a knowledge-based economy, in which the production and

dissemination of knowledge will lead to economic benefits and enrich all fields of human endeavor.

The DST, as the custodial coordinator for the development of the NSI, influences this system through key strategies such as the National Research and Development Strategy (NRDS) and the

Ten-Year Innovation Plan (TYIP).

technologies that include the confirmation of the 1% tenofovir gel

microbicide to prevent HIV transmission, the discovery of a potential

HIV vaccine and the development of a diagnostic to detect drug

resistance

• The department is also involve in SATRII (SA TB Research and

Innovation Initiative) – drug discovery and development of TB

diagnostics.

• DST is also funding the South African Malaria Initiative (SAMI):

developing new treatment and diagnostics, as well as vector control

technologies .

OUTCOME 2: A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE FOR ALL SOUTH AFRICANS.

43


• Involved in the funding of the Biovac Institute that provides

essential vaccines. Biovac is in the final stage of obtaining a

Good Manufacturing Practice certificate for their finish and fill

plant in Cape Town. This is an essential step in the

development of local manufacturing capacity.

• DST is funding the development and commercialisation of a

telemedicine workstation. Telemedicine system in the Eastern

Cape, Free-State and North West is being rolled- out. For

example, an m-health project amongst the schools in the

Cofimvaba district is currently been implemented.

OUTCOME 4: DECENT EMPLOYMENT THROUGH INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC

GROWTH.

44


• Draft R&D expenditure strategy is in place consultation with the ESEC

and National treasury is on going to finalise the strategy. The draft

strategy has a strong focus on specific opportunities for increasing R&D

spending which are able to advance long- term growth opportunities.

• The DST continues to support key partner departments through various

initiatives such as the interdepartmental task team on bio-composites

and the Advanced Metals initiative, in post harvest innovation and

aquaculture.

• The DST also supports a portfolio consisting of a minimum of eight

large, long-term R&D-led industrial development opportunities over the

next four years. These include the development of a titanium industry,

growing our space industry, bio-composites, fuel cells, civilian

unmanned aerial systems, and electronics industries.

OUTCOME 4: DECENT EMPLOYMENT THROUGH INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC

GROWTH.

45


• The department facilitates a minimum increase of 10% annually in the

number of small and medium-enterprises receiving technology support

through the Technology Stations Programme.

• The department also aims to introduce a research and development

incentive for small manufacturing firms who wish to increase spending

on research and development. Currently the department has

ammended the existing R&D incentive (offered under Section 11D of the

Income Tax Act) that became effective on 01 October 2012.

OUTCOME 5: A SKILLED AND CAPABLE WORKFORCE TO SUPPORT AN

INCLUSIVE GROWTH PATH

46


• The DST will increase the proportion of students receiving financial

support to study for Bachelor and Honours degrees, from 2.5% to

5% by 2014.


support to study research Masters degree, from 6% to 10% by 2014


support to study for Doctoral degree, from 14% to 18% by 2014

OUTCOME 5: A SKILLED AND CAPABLE WORKFORCE TO SUPPORT AN

INCLUSIVE GROWTH PATH

47


OUTCOME 7: VIBRANT, EQUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE RURAL COMMUNITIES

AND FOOD SECURITY FOR ALL

48


• The DST is involved in different pilot projects. These include:

– Production of indigenous fin fish and shellfish

– Novel food, medicinal and cosmetic plant production from a

shortlist of indigenous or industrial crops.

• The DST is also involved in different research activities, which

includes:

– Case studies of the credibility and usefulness of community

enterprise development models in the natural resource waste

streams (organic waste/fertilizers) beneficiation sector;

– Case studies of the credibility and usefulness of community

enterprise development models in the agro-processing sector.

OUTCOME 10: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSETS AND NATURAL RESOURCES THAT

ARE WELL PROTECTED AND CONTINUALLY ENHANCED.

49


• The DST is currently doing a feasibility study into the use of a SA developed technology that can convert waste to fuel in rural areas.

• DST is in the process of finalising modalities around Phase 3 (2013/14-2015/16) of SA Risk and Vulnerability Atlas (SARVA). SARVA continues to provide up-to- date spatial information related to environmental risks and vulnerability which is used to inform sector climate change adaptation plans.

• DST supports research that support ecosystem rehabilitation and restoration through the implementation of the GCRP and the large-scale research programme of Global Change, Society and Sustainability (GCSSRP).

The National Development Plan will play a key role in the work of the department in the next five years and beyond.

Currently 56% of our annual 2013/14 targets are on course.

Human capital development, knowledge generation and exploitation, infrastructure and Africa collaboration will remain key focus areas and are central in our 2014-2019 strategic plan.

The department is committed in achieving minimum of 80% of its targets this financial year and improve performance information.
