The IDT seeks to contribute towards the mandate, vision and strategic objectives of the Department of Public Works (DPW), and to advance the:

National Development PlanNational priority outcomesNational Infrastructure PlanNew Economic Growth Path

Legislative and other mandates (2)Shareholder CompactRelevant Programmes of DPW

Programme 1: AdministrationProgramme 2: Immovable Assets Investment ManagementProgramme 3: Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP)

Contribution to National Strategic OutcomesOutcome 1: Improved Quality of Basic EducationOutcome 2: A long and healthy life for all South AfricansOutcome 4: Decent employment through inclusive economic growthOutcome 5: A skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth pathOutcome 7: Vibrant, Equitable and Sustainable Rural Communities and Food Security for allOutcome 8: Sustainable human settlements and improved quality of household lifeOutcome 10: Environmental assets and natural resources that are well protected and continually enhanced.

The IDT’s contribution in these areas directly supports the Department of Public Works in its Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) priorities in the areas of social infrastructure delivery, job creation, transformation of the construction industry and skills development.

Situational Analysis: Performance Environment

In the last 10 years the IDT delivered programmes worth approximately R20.25 bn. Of which 85-95% was social infrastructure development. In the 2012/13 financial year programs to the value of R5.6bn and in 2013/14 program delivery exceeded R6.3 bn.

The IDT implements programmes directed at community development by integrating social infrastructure outputs with long-term impact and sustainable development goals.

The IDT’s key service offering is social facilitation delivery; the IDT’s approach seeks to facilitate acceptance and ownership of government’s development. Programmes by emdeding participation of communities in im

The IDT is committed to making direct contribution to the achievement of Government’s Strategic Outcome 12 which has been translated by the Department of Public Works to mean “SERVICE DELIVERY QUALITY AND ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT SERVICES”.

Situational Analysis: Organisational Environment

OPPORTUNITIES THREATS Positioning as government’s main

social infrastructure delivery agency

Extension of programme implementation management services to basic services and housing infrastructure.

Leadership changes in client departments may have an adverse effect in IDT’s delivery and meeting of obligations to service providers.

Budget deficits and financial management challenges in client departments result in late transfer of programme funds, exposing the IDT to litigation.

Spearheading of the Green Technology and related innovations in infrastructure development.

Mandate usurping leading to unhealthy competition amongst SOCs, attributed to the large annual budget allocation to infrastructure development.

Situational Analysis: Organisational Environment

OPPORTUNITIES THREATS

Leveraging the organisation’s

integrated delivery model and

competencies for innovative, and

sustainable development

programmes in rural areas, inner

cities and informal settlements.

Unsustainable Funding model and

lack of legislation supporting the

IDT’s status as a public entity exposes

the IDT to mandate usurping by

others state entities.

Provision of rural development

implementation support services

and post-settlement support.

General shortage of skills in the built

environment industry. This is

compounded by loss of staff resulting

from uncertainty over lack of long

term mandate.

Situational Analysis: Key IssuesThe environmental scan highlighted the following areas as pertinent to the IDT’s corporate strategy:

Persistent poverty and inequalityUnemployment, especially amongst none graduate out-of-school youth

and young adultsSocial Infrastructure backlogs despite massive investments by

government.Local government service delivery challenges Rural-to-urban migration, land reform and post-settlement support Changes in and perceived conflicts in instruments meant to promote

affirmative action towards empowerment of the previously disadvantaged

Strategic Planning ProcessStrategic Planning, and performance monitoring and reporting, is an institutionalised business process in the IDT.

It is an iterative annual process May: The Board is presented with the framework for the strategic planning process for approvalJune: Consolidate researchJuly-August: Develop and present strategy proposals to the Board for approvalJune- July: MTEF SubmissionAugust-October: Develop draft Strategic Plan, Unit Business Plans and Sub-Unit Work PlansAugust-October: MTEF meetings & presentationsNovember-December: Draft Strategic Plan, APP & Budget recommended to the BoardJanuary-February: Finalise, approve and submit Unit Business Plans & Budgets; and the Strategic Plan, APP & corporate Budget

Part B: Strategy

Strategic Goals The Strategic Goals articulates the IDT’s responsibility to promote sustainable development in poor and marginalized areas through delivery of integrated social infrastructure. The institution aims to achieve these Strategic Goals by using resources in a prudent and efficient manner.

PROGRAMME STRATEGIC GOALS/OUTCOMES

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

PROGRAMME 1: INTEGRATED SERVICE DELIVERY 

THE IDT ENHANCES THE STATE’S DELIVERY CAPACITY

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 1: Deliver quality social infrastructure on time, within budget and scope

OBJECTIVE STATEMENT 1: IDT’s distinctive developmental approach to social infrastructure delivery empowers communities to receive, own, manage and sustain their own development

PROGRAMME 2: ADMINISTRATION

THE IDT IS AN EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE ORGANISATION

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 2: A compliant, results-based, efficient and focused organisation

OBJECTIVE STATEMENT 2: Maintaining a clean administration which is committed to the efficient application of resources, compliance with regulations and legislation and which is accountable.

Strategic Vision Implementation

IDT is a major public entity and development agency which has to:1. Create value in the lives of the people of South Africa. 2. Ensure that it delivers high quality service and sustainable development

in a cost effective way. 3. Remain relevant in the South African development landscape,4. Find innovative and sustainable solutions to the development challenges

facing the country as identified in the National Development Plan and other key policy instruments.

1. The strength of the IDT lies in its ability to deliver quality social infrastructure through its niche in programme management. The results of the scan suggest that the IDT will deliver meaningful value to government through cost-effective delivery of programmes, in such a manner that key development objectives of job creation, shared prosperity and skills development are an integral part of addressing the social infrastructure and social development backlogs. This will be achieved through the continued application of IDT’s integrated service delivery model.

Key Performance Measures & Indicators (1)

Corporate Business Plan and the 2014/15 APP reflected in Appendix 2 and 3. Delivery of these pre-determined targets hinges on a number of assumptions and dependencies:

VALUE AND DELIVERY OF BUSINESS PORTFOLIO: The IDT is required to generate its own business portfolio. However, the speed at which agreements are concluded as well as the frequency and values of funds transferred is not entirely within the control of the organisation and delays impact on delivery. Associated indicators and targets assume that agreements are concluded before the start of and or early in the financial year and that clients will transfer funds as stipulated in the agreements.

MANAGEMENT FEES: Is negotiated with clients and stipulated in agreements. In order to remain a going concern, the minimum average management fee which the IDT can consider is 7.0% and any amount lower than 7% will jeopardise the organisation’s going concern status. In addition, if clients do not make the funds available for the IDT to deliver, the organisation’s collection of management fees will be compromised.

Key Performance Measures & Indicators (2)

GOING CONCERN: It assumes that the operation will be able to continue trading for a minimum of 24-months. Unforeseen cash flow challenges may jeopardise the organisation and thus could have devastating impact on the delivery of approximately R20bn programmes over the planning period.

CERTAINTY OF MANDATE AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY: The Shareholder has undertaken to formally consider and provide certainty on the organisation’s mandate and long-term sustainability. The uncertainty, which had prevailed for a number of years, negatively impacts client confidence, organisational culture and staff morale, which in turn is reflected in business generation, productivity and delivery capacity.

ATTRACT AND RETAIN RIGHT SKILLS: The on-going uncertainly has increased the risk of flight of skills resulting in a high vacancy rate of between 17% in 2013/14. This impacts the organisation’s ability to recruit and retain appropriate skills. Client confidence is enhanced by the organisation’s ability to deploy appropriate competencies to manage programmes.

Strategic Choices

Having taken note of the realities of IDT’s operating environment, the Board decided that IDT’s 2014/15-2018/19 Corporate Strategy should be guided by the following imperatives:

The current strategy as reviewed in 2013/14 to accentuate focus on social infrastructure programme delivery, vision, mission, strategic outcomes and strategic objectives are still relevant, and thus the need to retain the same;

The IDT’s commitment to advancing the recommendations and targets of the National Development Plan should be demonstrated in the Strategic Plan;

The organisation should align investment in the following to available human and financial resources, and risk profile:

1. Portfolio growth

2. Strengthen programme management to assert the distinctiveness of the IDT’s mandate and approach by:

Strategic Choices

a. Reviewing the structure to undertake capacity and efficiency adjustments.

b. Building and retaining high-performing talented fit-for-purpose professionals.

c. Pursuing process and system efficiency interventions.

4. Research should be focussed to the niche areas necessary to improve organisational performance and contribute to built environment sector development.

5. Communication should focus on strategic positioning through inter-alia packaging the success stories and knowledge generated.

6. Implement targeted cost-containment measures alongside a sustainable increase in management fees.

Part C: Financial Challenges and Risks

Financial Challenges and RisksThe greatest challenge that faces the IDT is the uncertainty surrounding the financial sustainability of the organisation.

Treasury has allocated R50m per year for the 2013/14 to 2015/16 financial years. The funds have been allocated on condition that “the Independent Development Trust will develop and submit a restructuring plan to the National Treasury…”.

The Business Case (the plan referred to by Treasury) is being prepared in conjunction with the Department of Public Works. The plan will address, inter alia, the issues of:

The structure, form and resourcing required for the organisation in order for it to become self-sustainable over the MTEF period;

The clearly identified target market for the organisation;

The management fees structure required to provide for the funding of the organisation.

Financial Challenges and Risks

It is crucial that the Shareholder addresses the financial sustainability challenge that has faced the IDT to ensure that it continues to play a meaningful role in the delivery of infrastructure and general national development.

The value of programme implementation agency agreements (PIA) or memoranda of agreements (MOA) signed for future implementation is currently in excess of R 20 billion. These programmes are to be implemented over the next three years. This would represent a significant risk to the relevant departments and service delivery to communities should the IDT not be able to implement their programmes.

Budget 2014/15 & Forecast2014/15 – 2016/17 Budget

The Business Plan for the financial years 2014/15 to 2016/17 shows steady growth in its programme delivery as opposed to the quantum growth rate of the past 3 years.

Between the 2010/11 and 2012/13 programme delivery grew from R 2.2 billion to R 5.6 billion

Growth is predicted to reach R 7 billion to R 8 bn. over the next three years .

Increase in level of management fees to ensure longer-term financial viability. However this action has met resistance from a number of client departments, hence the Practice Note requested from National Treasury is necessary.

Late transfer of programme funds – from which management fees are drawn - exacerbate the financial situation of the IDT.

Cost containment strategy implemented to closely monitor and contain costs.

IncomeTHE IDT HAS TWO SOURCES OF INCOME:THE IDT HAS TWO SOURCES OF INCOME:

MANAGEMENT FEES:MANAGEMENT FEES:

Management fees charged to client departments constitutes the major source of its income. The level of fees budgeted/projected at 4% during the 2013/14 financial year and management has implemented a process to increase the average level of fees to 6.3% over the budget year. The level of fees will be further increased over the outer years.

INVESTMENT INCOME: INVESTMENT INCOME:

Earned from the investment fund.

The Fund has declined over years as it has been used to fund the IDT’s operational costs; and,

The reduction in the level of interest rates together with the decrease in the capital invested has resulted in the investment income being reduced significantly over the past few years.

Risk Management and Fraud Prevention Plans

RISK MANAGEMENT PLANAudit and Risk Committee (ARC): Overall responsibility to ensure that the organisation has identified the key risks and that a strategy to manage those risks is implemented. Risk Management Committee: Chaired by the CEO and reports to the ARC. Responsible for reviewing the Risk Management StrategyCompliance and Risk Office responsible for constant monitoring and reporting, as well as testing compliance with legislation

FRAUD PREVENTION PLANDue to the nature of the IDT’s business, where volumes and financial value of projects continue to rise, fraud risk is considered to be very critical and as such it has been elevated to be part of the IDT’s strategic risks. The Plan comprises a fraud prevention strategy and policy, which is reviewed annually to incorporate emerging best practice and trend analysis such as profiling, for identifying areas where fraud and corruption are most likely to occur, and effecting appropriate control measuresIDT operates an externally managed hotline for the reporting of fraud and corruption, and also makes use of forensic expertise for the investigation of reported cases when such intervention is required, in addition to its Internal Audit services.

Materiality and Significance Framework

For purposes of material [sections 50(1), 55(2) and 66(1) of the PFMA] and significant [section 54(2) of the Act], the Accounting Authority must develop and agree a framework of acceptable levels of materiality and significance with the relevant Executive Authority in consultation with the Auditor General.

After consultation with the AG, the Materiality and Significance Framework was approved to the Accounting Authority.

Environmental and Communication Plans

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANEnvironmental management is a cross-cutting issue, with internal and external focus Internal perspective: Concerned with the extent to which the organisation behaves in an environmentally friendly manner, e.g. light bulbs used, sorting of waste, paper recycling and energy savings, etc. External perspective: Concerned with the extent to which programme management and project implementation are environmentally friendly. Includes building processes, practices and materials used in the construction as well as promoting environmental awareness in the communities we operate in.

COMMUNICATIONS PLANTo ensure constant and consistent engagement with the IDT stakeholders and staff .Aims to integrate all branding and marketing related functions such as Stakeholder Engagement, Client Relations, Public Relations, and Corporate Communications in support of the overall sustainability of the IDT.

IT Management Plan and Corporate Knowledge Strategy

IT MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (ITM)IT Plan focuses on migrating the IDT to Cloud computing which will create a more secure, reliable, portable and scalable IT architecture.The objectives of the ITM Framework are as follows:

Provide the IDT with an adequate Information Management & Technology Platform;Increase the efficiency, seamlessness and integration of internal processes (e.g. HR; Finance; Performance Information Management; Knowledge management; and, monitoring and evaluation);Provide an effective, efficient and reliable internal and external electronic communications, through the use of the IDT’s network infrastructure;Provide support to address all client needs to ensure client satisfaction.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT PLANCorporate Knowledge Management Strategy (CKS): Promote knowledge-driven development practice and innovation; maximize the impact of development interventions in support of the national strategic priorities and the realization of the organisation’s corporate goals. Through the CKS, the IDT is building systems to promote a vibrant culture of documenting, sharing, learning and mainstreaming of knowledge-driven development practice and innovation to support operations.

Human Resources Strategy

The HR Strategy aims to facilitate effective resourcing of the organisation through efficient people planning, people management and people development strategies; and, to ensure that the IDT can at all times attract, retain and develop the best available skills such that it is able to deliver on its mandate. Current establishment at 441; staff occupancy at 83% (17% vacancy level). Refer to High Level Organogram.The IDT plans to embark on a refocus and streamlining process to address its financial solvency challenge but most importantly to improve the service offering of the organization and safeguarding performance on obligations to clients. This process includes a structure review aimed at achieving among other, the following goals:

To increase the built environment technical capacity in order to strengthen social infrastructure programme management while reducing the social and community development staff contingent as part of de-investment in functional areas not aligned with the new mandate

To bring about a healthy balance in the ratio of core and support staff through increasing the total direct programme staff while reducing staff in administration, corporate services and governance positions

To increase capacity at regional level and reduce staff at head office, thus address the top heavy concern visible in the existing structure
