BACKGROUND AND POLICY CONTEXT • The CBE 2014 Strategic Plan is a product of the Strategic Planning Session held by the new CBE Council on the 11-12 February 2011. • The Strategic Plan is informed by the following key policy documents: • Updated Government’s medium term strategic framework document • 2011 State of the Nation Address • Outline of the Minister’s key priorities • The 2011 National Budget including estimates of national expenditure • The 2011/14 Strategic Plan and 2011/12 Business Plan considered and integrated key national and sectoral policy priorities including inputs from key stakeholders such as Professional Councils • This resulted in realignment of CBE work in an effort to make the organisation and the BE industry more responsive to important developmental priorities such as job creation and skills development. • The review of the mandates of the CBE was also a key input towards the strategic and business planning for the next MTEF period • The 2011/12 CBE Business Plan has since been tabled to Minister of Public Works for consideration and approval.
RESPONSES TO PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE • The previous engagements with the Portfolio Committee raised two critical aspects on the resolution of Accreditation of Built Environment (BE) Programmes that are not accredited and conclusion of MoA between the Professional Councils and CBE. • On the Accreditation, we have concluded an Accreditation timetable outlining the time series targets and programme of ensuring that all unaccredited BE programmes are accredited within the term of the current Professional Councils terms. • On the conclusion and sign-off of the MoAs to regularise institutional relations, enable alignment and effective co-ordination, only 2 agreements have been signed with the SACPVP and SACPCMP. It must be noted that inspite the conclusion of in-principle agreements with all the 6 PCs as of 18 January 2011 with the process that commenced from October 2010 following the Portfolio Committees directive to conclude the MoA agreed upon in Joint Strategic Planning session of February 2009, the balance of PCs including ECSA, SACQSP, SACLAP and SACAP have not signed the agreement.
RESPONSES TO PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE • The public policy priorities relating to Job Creation, Rural development, Green House Gas Mitigation and Safety & Health have received prioritised responses through the available policy instruments. • The policy instruments that have been identified to drive the re-orientation of professional practice are 1. CPD (Continued Professional Development), 2. Accreditation requirements of Built Environment Programmes, 3. SGB (Standard Generating Body function of setting standards for curricula) and 4. International Agreements function for mutual recognition of Professions and Qualifications. • The approach is informed by an active instrumentalist approach to equip our Built Environment Professionals with the required skills sets, prior exiting institutions of higher learning and those in practice, to be able to Design, Develop, Maintain, Refurbish and Rehabilitate our Infrastructure through Labour Intensive Techniques, enable contextualised Rural Development, deliver infrastructure that meets our Kyoto Protocol obligations within Cabinet’s approved LTMS Strategy for the Republic and within a no harm ethos to Labour and the Public. • It should be noted that the impact of our policy instruments, is within the time series range of medium term between 3-5 years post implementation.
Status of the Auditor-General findings • Corrective actions and implementation dates are agreed upon with the AG. • Follow-up review is scheduled to be performed by Internal Auditors. • Audit matrix is developed for Audit and Risk Management Committee reporting.
Strategic goals of the CBE • The strategic planning and realignment processes mentioned in the previous slides resulted in formulation of 8 key strategic goals for the CBE which will guide and inform the work of the CBE over the next MTEF period. • The following are the 8 key strategic goals adopted by the council: • Drive, support and advise on transformation within the Built Environment • Facilitate integrated development • Perform a leading role in building stakeholder relations • Develop CBE into a thought leader in the BE • Reposition the CBE in the market • Strengthen and maintain effective and efficient public protection regime • Inform and influence government infrastructure spend and professional practice so that they are responsive to national priorities • Strengthen the administration function of the CBE • To realise these important goals the organisation has arranged its work into four key programmes which represent a consolidation of key strategic priorities for the organisation going forward. • The section below will present these programmes including key targets, KPIs and outputs for the 2011/12 financial year.
CBE Total Budget for 2011/12 • The budget above is based on the revised business plan by the Council to fulfill its mandate in terms of the Act. • The appropriated funds were R27,1 million based on the MTEF baseline allocation.
CBE Total Budget Shortfall for 2011/12 Additional funds of R16.4 million are required to fully execute 2011/12 Business Plan The funds of R27.1 million allocated by the National Treasury are not adequate for full implementation of CBE plans The CBE has requested the Minister to consider making additional funds available to the CBE to assist the organisation to implement its key priorities for 2011/12 The additional funds would significantly assist the CBE to effectively discharge its mandates and to further ensure that the BE industry makes a meaningful contribution to key policy priorities of government
