  9. Environmental Scan • We have recognized government’s policy objectives in our analysis. I.e., • Reducing poverty • Increasing employment levels • Promoting small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) • Developing infrastructure • Promoting specific industries • Promoting BEE • Increasing access to basic services • Except for ‘promoting specific industries’, the IDT's strategic choices are relevant and responsive to thesepolicy objectives

  10. Environmental Scan: Pages 7-8 • Key Challenges • Differentiation and positioning of the IDT • mandate revisions can only be completed in medium term through formal processes • 2008/10 strategy needs to clearly define a new strategic focus and provide framework for clear institutional differentiation • View: IDT’s effectiveness will only be enhanced by reviewing its business model to integrate programme management, social facilitation with a funding role (development finance) • Sustainability of the IDT’s Business Model • Subject of debate and concern: Board, Minister • Shift to development outcomes

  11. Strategy proposals

  12. Strategy proposals: Driving forces • Social Dynamics: • Key issues: poverty, unemployment, HIV/AIDS, social alienation/exclusion • MDGs: will not halve poverty and hunger by 2014 • Greater need and support for robust, innovative poverty eradication interventions • Economic issues • Macro economic stability; sustained growth • Inequality, e.g., Gini coefficient and 2nd economy • ASGISA: transformative mechanism. IDT re-examine and be clear about our role • Political issues • Development= political. IDT operates in politicised space • IDT must have the maturity to maintain institutional integrity in dynamic environment • Technological issues • Need: On-line, on time data with integrity; effective monitoring and evaluation systems • IDT: opportunity to develop robust, reliable & rapid systems and reports

  13. Mandate Goal: Poverty Eradication & Sustainable Development Strategic Focus Women Spatial Outcomes Sustainable Livelihoods CohesiveCommunities Programmes SocialInfrastructure Delivery Social Facilitation Social Development Development Practice Innovation & Advocacy Development Programme Management Capacity StrategicOverview: Page 14

  14. Strategic Objectives: Page 15 • 1: The provision of basic services and social infrastructure to poor and marginalised communities. A primary focus will be women and their dependents as primary beneficiaries. • 2: The development of sustainable livelihoods and employment opportunities in poor and marginalised communities. A primary focus will be on opportunities for women and women’s groups. • 3:The enhancement of the human and institutional capacity of community-based, non-governmental organisations and local government operating in poor and marginalised communities. A primary focus will be on organisations with women as their primary participants. • 4: Service delivery excellence and the efficient and effective utilisation of financial and human resources. • 5: The active promotion and piloting of innovative development practice and advocacy in pursuit of poverty eradication and the advancement of women. • Translated into Targets

  15. Rationale • Mandate broad: need a more focussed interpretation of our role in order to more effectively apply assets and resources • Hence 2008/10 Corporate strategy targets Women as beneficiaries and participants because: • Poverty = racial, gender & spatial dimensions • Int’l best practice: • targeted vs. universalist approach • Women = most effective delivery vehicles • Women-focused initiatives more likely to maximize impact on poverty eradication

  16. Rationale • Essence of the shift in strategy: • IDT’s core role and niche area will be to facilitate the creationof sustainable livelihoods and cohesive communities in poverty pockets and underdeveloped areas* by focussing on women as targeted beneficiaries as well as partnering with women as participants in the development process. • * communities in shadow areas (the nodes)

  17. Rationale (Shadow Areas) • Developed by the National Solidarity Fund of Tunisia - criteria for intervention or where the Fund would be deployed. • Criteria refers to areas that: • Are in complete isolation and not easily accessible; • Has an absence of at least two basic amenities of life (e.g., water, electricity, roads, housing) • Has an absence of favourable factors encouraging economic activities that guarantee decent living conditions (survivalist economies) • Has a minimum of 30 families living in the area • Shadow areas is also described as ’those people disadvantaged by nature and forgotten by development.’

  18. Rationale Women • Women as the unit of analysis and targeted participants and beneficiaries based on the assumption that the organisation will more effectively impact families, communities, youth and children by working with women. • The delivery of social infrastructure, with particular emphasis on the eradication of mud schools. • Marginalised areas, for instance rural areas and other communities in “shadow areas” • People-centred development, with social facilitation and organisational development as an explicit modality of its development approach. • Programmes that meet the above criteria and which specifically aim to eradicate poverty, underdevelopment and unemployment

  19. Programmes: IDT will focus on the next 3 years: Page 16 • Development of social infrastructure to poor and marginalised areas, incl. the design and management of programmes on behalf of government (schools, clinics etc, that lends itself to labour intensive methodologies) • Social facilitation focused on the empowerment of women and their organisations • Institutional delivery capacity building community-based, non-governmental organisations and local government operating in poor and marginalised communities • Supporting local economic development and job creation such as J4G and EPWP • Developing and piloting innovative development solutions targeting and partnering with women • Advocacy: policies, strategies and programmes aimed at eradicating poverty and the advancement of women

  21. Financial Resources & Sources of Income: Page 23-25 • Enormous challenge: demand for development vs. sufficient funds to maximize impact of our operations • Basic source of revenue: investment fund following R2 billion grant in 1990 • Expanding operations + lowering interest rates (income earnings) + conservative investment strategy • Current fund value: R1.3 bn • Financial modeling= fund will be eroded 2010/12 • Board decision, supported by Executive Authority, and reported to Portfolio Committee: • IDT= redistributive mechanism • Primary principle that guides decisions: relevance of mandate • Approved deficit budget for 3 successive years

  22. Financial Resources & Sources of income: Page 23-25 • Budget: • 2005/06: R143 million of which R23 million was funded from capital base) • 2006/07: R 206 million, which included R35 million for ASGISA, and R80 million funded from capital base. • 2007/08: R 226 million of which R 96 million will be funded from the capital base. • 2007/07 Budget: Pg 35-36 • Projections for next two years
