• Consultation and compliance:

• The Plans were developed in consultation with Senior Management and SOEs.

• Plans aligned to the Framework for Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans developed by National Treasury.

• Planning was facilitated by members of the Technical Assistance Unit of National Treasury so as to ensure technical correctness in terms of:

o Measurability of targets (quantifiable where possible)

o Performance indicators (aligned to targets)

o Time frames (2012/13 Targets unpacked into measurable quarterly targets)

• 1st and 2nd drafts of the Strategic Plan and APP were submitted to National Treasury and DPME for consideration and feedback was effected.

• Monitoring and Evaluation:

• DoC will submit quarterly performance reports against its APP (quarterly targets) to the Executive Authority, National Treasury and DPME.

• Furthermore, currently such performance reports together with related evidence against reported achievements, are further submitted to the Auditor-General so as to conduct an audit of the performance information as well as conduct Integrity Testing

• Department has in place a fully functional Organisational Performance Assessment Board that interrogates quarterly performance reports and makes recommendations to improve Departmental performance.

• Over and above the mandatory quarterly reporting process, the Department consistently monitors programme performance through its various governance structures such as Departmental Executive Committees, Top Management and Branch meetings where departmental performance information dictates the agenda of such meetings.

Given their strategic importance, the following have been retained as flagship Programmes for the Department:

1. Job Creation – Over and above the job creation endeavors through its planned projects, the DoC has established an ICT Industry Working Group on job creation whose purpose will be to facilitate the identification of priority areas for job creation.

2. E-Skills - through the e-Skills Institute, massify the e-skilling of our nation for a rightful place in the Information Society and Knowledge-based Economy, ensuring (i) that citizens improve their quality of life through the use of ICTs, and (ii) that employment ready students are “delivered”.

3. Broadband - improve broadband penetration through implementation of an integrated Broadband Master Plan that will facilitate capital investment, innovation and rural access. Connecting schools, health and government centres will not only improve service delivery, but also improve the uptake and usage of broadband by government and individuals.

In 2011/12 the DoC targeted 4% broadband penetration, however considering that the results of the current Broadband penetration baseline are expected by May 2012, the target has been revised to: “10% increase in broadband penetration, from measured baseline”.

Current estimated Broadband penetration:• Mobile phones: 17%• Mobile PC: 4%• Fixed : 2%

Updated baseline studies are planned annually thereafter.

Furthermore, the proposed EC Amendment Bill 2012 will make provision for Broadband related matters so as to enable the necessary legal and regulatory framework for Broadband implementation.A global leader in the development and use of Information and Communication Technologies for socio-economic development

4. Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) - In implementing the Digital Migration Policy in South Africa, the programme will focus on implementing the set-top box manufacturing strategy, scheme of ownership support for poor households, and the local and digital content development strategy. Focus will also be on implementing the consumer and education awareness campaign and monitoring of the DTT infrastructure roll-out to achieve 96% population coverage by 2013. DoC will also facilitate the implementation of the action plan to benefit SMMEs in the Set Top Box value chain. (manufacturing, distribution, installation and maintenance)

5. Postbank - Once licensed the Postbank will rollout centres and outlets prioritising the under-served rural areas with a specific focus on the unbanked population who are not part of the formal banking sector.

6. Rural Connectivity - ICT Rural Development Strategy which will be implemented through various key programmes during the financial year 2012/13.

PROJECT IMPACT

DTT Will lead to the DTT project being at high risk of failure due to non-delivery of the DTT platform and its services to the people of SA.

STB subsidy Will lead to delays in the purchase of equipment and services that are critical to the success of the DTT project.

SAPO (Universal Service Obligations)

Negative impact on job creation, mandate to provide service obligations and financial sustainability.

E-Skills Institute Hamper on the delivery of e-skills for the Information Society Knowledge –based economy – thus negative impact on uptake and usage.

Radio frequency spectrum

May delay competition in the sector and negatively affecting end-users.

Cybersecurity Delayed implementation of the the approved National Cybersecurity Policy Framework thus exposing the country to cyber threats
