“Some of the key programmes of the
National Development Plan are already
being implemented. These include the
New Growth Path framework with its
major infrastructure development
programme, as well as the state-led
industrial policy.”
- President Zuma, January 2013
“…the New Growth Path is
government's key programme to take
country onto a higher growth
trajectory… The proposals in this
chapter are largely consistent with
these policies.”

A summary: NGP
• Target: 5 million new
jobs by 2020
• Core strategy: jobsrich growth
• Focus: jobs drivers
based on key sectors
and markets
• Means: more
integrated actions in
the state and
partnerships with
private sector
The NGP toolbox:
• Jobs drivers: Infrastructure, core
productive sectors, value-adding and
public services, social economy, African
regional development, rural development
• Policy drivers: Competition and trade
policy, BBBEE, labour policy, skills
development, industrial policy, innovation
policy
• Resource drivers: Government budgets,
DFIs, retirement funds
• Social dialogue: Building SA through
partnership and social pacts .
Managing the jobs drivers
• NGP links long-term
growth and
employment creation
• Government makes
choices about the
production structure
every time it decides
on a regulation, what
kind of infrastructure
and skills to provide,
who gets a tax break

...but more to be done
• Unemployment levels still high and youth unemployment a
particular challenge
• Need to improve performance of productive sectors of the
economy: manufacturing, mining and beneficiation, agriculture
and agro-processing
• Effective implementation of decisions need to be improved
• New challenges from
– Worsening global environment
– Rising electricity and other user costs
– Workplace and community conflicts.
National Infrastructure Plan
• February 2012: Plan outlined by President
• 18 Strategic integrated Projects covering whole country
• Action: moved from planning to active implementation – SONA
February 2013 contained some highlights
• Jobs: 150 000 construction jobs in state-led infrastructure
projects monitored by PICC
• Example: Electricity: 675kms of electricity transmission lines that
were laid last year. It is the largest level in more than 20 years.
• Example: Rail: Majuba rail line – it is the first large new rail line
laid by the state since 1986.
• Example: Water: De Hoop Dam together with the Mooi Mgeni
Dam created a new water yield of 126 million cubic meters –
significantly more than the water consumption of the city of
Mangaung and Pietermaritzburg combined.
Infrastructure & role of EDD
• Convenes meetings of the PICC Council, MANCO and Secretariat
• Collects information on 18 SIPs every quarter for Cabinet,
showing level of implementation, spending and jobs
• Coordinates information to develop Skills Plans for every SIP and
to aggregate these into a National Skills Plan
• Work with the IDC on a localisation Plan for every SIP
• Collects and analyses data on quarterly infrastructure spending
by key public agencies, provinces, metros and national
departments for Cabinet to consider
• Identifies blockages in implementation and makes
recommendations to the PICC and Cabinet
• Monitors work to deepen the 20 year project pipeline by ensuring
proposals are subjected to feasibility processes and timelines are
developed.
Infrastructure and localisation
• EXAMPLE 1: in six cities we are connecting
bus, train and taxi transport to provide
urban workers with a cheaper and quicker
means of travel. Previously, the buses
imported from Brazil. Last year, we
introduced new tender conditions that
require 80% local manufacturing. Close to
250 buses will be made in South Africa.
The Jo'burg buses will be made at Marco
Polo’s plant in Gauteng. The chassis will be
made at Mercedes Benz in East London.
Busmark is setting up a new factory in Cape
Town, with IDC support, to manufacture this
city’s buses there.
• EXAMPLE 2: last year the
IDC partnered with a local
company to complete a
contract for supply,
manufacturing and erection
of an air-cooled condenser
system for Eskom’s Kusile
power station. The contract
value is R2,4 billion. It will
use 53 000 tons of steel and
create about 750 jobs.
Competition and Trade Commissions
• Competition Commission
– Reduce input costs in the economy
– Increase levels of competition
– Ensure mergers/acquisition approval promote public interest goals
such as employment and small business development
– Investigate price-fixing and corporate collusion and take firm action
• International Trade Administration Commission
– Promote improved trade levels, with a focus on a developmental
trade policy that promotes industrialisation and jobs
– Reduce input costs for value-added products through lower tariffs
or rebates of duty
– Provide protection for industries as part of a plan to boost
competitiveness and jobs.
15
The IDC and sefa
• The IDC is the country’s largest Development Finance Institution:
– Increase the level of funding
– Decrease the time taken for approval of projects
– Reduce the cost of lending to local companies
– Shift to key New Growth Path sectors
– Improve development outcomes: jobs, rural development
• sefa is the new agency for small business funding
– Consolidate the work and operations of the three merged groupings into
an effective small business funding machine
– Improve the level of funding available
– Measure the impact on SMMEs and cooperatives
– Strengthen the capacity in rural areas and poorer provinces
– Consolidate the work with other agencies and departments as well as
provinces and local government
– Promote training and communication projects to support small business:
eg partnership with SAICA.
16
Dialogue and Accords
• Implement the Accords on
– National Skills
– Basic Education
– Local Procurement
– Green Economy
• Support the
– October 2012 Social Accord
• Complete and support the Youth Employment Accord
• Develop consensus on other NGP areas such as infrastructure.

EXPENDITURE TRENDS
•The bulk of spending will be in the Growth Path and Creation of Decent Work
and the Economic Policy sub-programmes, and will go mostly towards
compensation of employees.
•Over the medium term significant increases in expenditure are expected in
the Second Economy sub-programme to allow the department to promote
strategies and
policies that grow an inclusive economy, and advance economic activities to
address youth unemployment. This includes developing the economic
developmental index and holding consultations on the national infrastructure
plan with key stakeholders.
• Funds will be reprioritised over the medium term from spending on external
services and venues and facilities to spending on compensation of
employees to provide for these activities.

EXPENDITURE TRENDS
•The spending focus over the medium term period will be on strengthening the
institutional capacity of the competition bodies, development finance institutions and
trade administration for which the department has an oversight function.
•Between 2009/10 and 2012/13, expenditure increased in the Investment for Economic
Development sub-programme due to transfers and subsidies to the capitalisation of the
Agro-processing Competitiveness Fund. To date, the fund has committed R76 million in
disbursements, which are expected to result in job creation.
•Spending in the Investment for Economic Development sub-programme is expected to
increase further due to the capitalisation of the Small Enterprise Finance Agency, a
subsidiary of the Industrial Development Corporation. The agency expects to approve
further financing for SMMEs to the value of R185 million over the MTEF period.
•Competitiveness and Trade for Decent Work sub-programme provides policy oversight
and strategic direction to the Competition Commission, Competition Tribunal and the
International Trade Administration Commission.
33
EXPENDITURE TRENDS
• Between 2009/10 and 2012/13, the transfers to the regulatory bodies increased
significantly as a result of transfers to the Competition Commission for the
establishment of the cartels division and associated staffing costs. Spending on
goods and services is expected to decline significantly due to the reprioritisation
of spending on consultants and professional services, while spending on
compensation of employees is expected to increase due to improved conditions
of service.
• Spending will increase in the Green Economy sub-programme over the medium
term due to funds of R4.8 million in 2013/14, R5.1 million in 2014/15 and
R5.3 million in 2015/16 reprioritised from other sub-programmes to this subprogramme to enable it to implement its activities. The programme has a funded
establishment of 38 posts. The Department used the skills of staff employed in
various state-owned entities and DFI’s to implement work connected to the PICC
and thus did not need to fill these posts with staff on the EDD establishment.
However, in order to address the growing workload in Programme Three, further
staff appointments will be made in the year ahead.

EXPENDITURE TRENDS
•The spending focus will be on increasing the co-ordination of policies on
economic development through the activities of the National Social Dialogue and
Strategic Frameworks and Capacity Building for Economic Development subprogrammes.
•The Capacity Building for Economic Development sub-programme is also the
fastest growing over the medium term, mainly due to the expected increase in the
staff required to conduct the activities effectively. The staff skills base will change
with greater emphasis on coordination and implementation skills, focused on
giving effect to the various Accords previously concluded.
