Our future - make it work

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2030

The National Planning Commission will from today: Advise government on

implementation of Plan Work with DPM&E to

turn Plan into targets to be incorporated into future performance and delivery agreements

... political parties, companies, school governing bodies, trade unions and many sectors, should also incorporate many aspects of plan in their own long-term planning exercises and implementation plans

On 15 August 2012 the President said:

The objectives of the plan are the elimination of poverty and the reduction of inequality through

Uniting South Africans of all races and classes around a common programme to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality

Encourage citizens to be active in their own development, in strengthening democracy and in holding their government accountable

Raising economic growth, promoting exports and making the economy more labour absorbing

Focusing on key capabilities of both people and the country Capabilities include skills, infrastructure, social security, strong institutions and partnerships

both within the country and with key international partners

Building a capable and developmental state Strong leadership throughout society that work together to solve our problems

6 Pillars of the plan

Cycle of development

Development occurs when there is policy clarity AND a set of planned actions

On the present trajectory, we are not likely to meet our targets

We require an acceleration, step change to meet our objectives

What will get implemented, by when and by whom? When will we know as South Africa? What are the consequences if a particular decision is NOT

taken? How do we move from parts to the whole:

Example: to get better education outcomes there are feedback loops. ECD with focus on nutrition for pregnant mums and infants school nutrition scheme principals competence teacher training time on task parental involvement community province?

The National Development Plan takes a long view to 2030

This process is less easy than it sounds, partly because most of us tend to focus on immediate issues that challenge us

Questions that abound: how to resolve the water problem, say in Carolina or Delmas now, or, how to engineer the delivery of school books to Limpopo are the kinds of questions, now

Also: what about Food Security now and in 2030?

Methodology: systems and design thinking

Involves key stakeholders in a facilitated planning process ensure high level of buy-in

Helps participants understand the current system, external context, stakeholders, components of the solution, interdependencies and connections internally and externally, and performance

Results in a co-designed rollout plan which takes into account the realities faced by all stakeholders

15

Conclusion: critical success factors for implementing the plan

Focused leadership over a long period of time The continued assertion that this is a plan for all South

Africans, and that everyone in society has a role to play in implementing the plan

The need for institutional reform More than half of the plan is dedicated to the type of

institutional reform needed to raise capability to implement the plan

The need to mobilise resources and agree on trade-offs The willingness to prioritise and the need for careful

sequencing Clarity on responsibility in each area

Operation Phakisa was first publicly mentioned in the State of the Nation Address response

The first implementation of Operation Phakisa will be led by the Department of Environmental Affairs. It will focus on unlocking the economic potential of South Africas oceans, which are estimated to have the potential to contribute up to one hundred and seventy seven billion rand to GDP by 2033 compared to fifty four billion rand in 2010.

Operation Phakisa is a stepwise process

Delivery laboratories i Develop 3-feet delivery plans

Roadmap finalisation and sign off

ii Engage with potential funders, design final roadmap, get government approval

Public commitment iii Share laboratories outputs in a public Open Day

Capability building iv Assess gaps and build a programme to support delivery

Delivery v Drive execution of 3-feet delivery plans, problem solve challenges, escalate issues where necessary

Monitoring vi Measure progress against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), report internally and publicly

External accountability vii Audit results and make them publicly available
