5 Part A: Strategic overview 1. Situational analysis Present updated information on the performance delivery and institutional environment, based on the information gathered during the annual performance-planning process. The information presented should broadly correlate with what was presented in the Strategic Plan, but it should not be as detailed. The focus should be on noting any changes in the external and/or internal environments that might affect performance. Whilst the AgriSETA Sector Skills Plan (SSP) aims to address wide range of issues in the agricultural sector, in essence it captures the following important realities which have a direct impact on the process of development of such skills in the sector 1 ; The global consensus on commitment to agriculture as a key driver for achieving food security, poverty alleviation and economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, calls for new strategies and approaches in Agriculture for development. This commitment will directly encourage development of capacity towards smallholder and emerging farming sector. The sectoral challenges, which include Inter Alia: Equity; Growth and Competitiveness; Environmental Sustainability; and Governance as identified in the Integrated Growth and Development Plan of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for the period shape the process of packaging these skills in the sector. The pressure on AgriSETA to balance the disbursement of discretionary funds to AET, NQF 1 and NQF 2 learning programme, due to the fact that the Agriculture relies heavily on unskilled and semi-skilled workers with higher pitched learning in response to technological advances and the increase in the need for skilled agricultural workers; The required efforts of the agriculture sector to change the image of agriculture to attract the youth, to advocate prevalent career and business opportunities in the sector. The continued low success rate of land reform projects need to be factored into discretionary grant funding plans of the AgriSETA Performance delivery environment The need for discretionary grant funded support to deliver on the required learning programmes in the sector outstrips the available resources of the AgriSETA. The Strategic plan has been updated to the National Treasury framework with the following significant changes: AgriSETA identified 4 programmes that will be driven to achieve the organisational goals aligned with the proposed DHET framework for Strategic Plans; Strategic outcome orientated goals were devised for the organisation 5
6 1.2. Organisational environment The AgriSETA structure is well balanced and is entrenched from Accounting Authority level to the Operational structure. Stability and extensive institutional knowledge exist due to the low labour turnover rate and the fact that appropriately qualified staff members are employed. The AgriSETA registration that was extended up to 2018 makes the management of talent challenging.

Revisions to legislative and other mandates The following legislative mandates are noted: Proposal for the New National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) and Sector education and Training Authorities (SETAs) The following pending court case should be noted: The court case between Business Unity South Africa (BUSA) and the Minister of Higher Education and Training, BUSA won the court case, currently the mandatory grants are still pitched at 20%. Changes to the Mandatory grants can have a significant impact on the number of employers participating in the mandatory grant process. There have been no significant changes to AgriSETA s mandates. 7

12 3.2 Relating expenditure trends to strategic outcome oriented goals Creditable institutional mechanisms: this goal will be supported through the implementation of the skills planning programme, focus will be on establishing research capacity and strengthening the sector skills committees. It is expected that the full allocated budget will be spend ; Increased professional, vocational, occupational and workplace learning to create decent jobs: This goal will be supported through the implementation of the skills delivery programme with the focus on addressing the critical skills identified in the updated sector skills plan. The funding of learnerships, bursary and internship programmes will be prioritised; Increased skills levels of cooperatives, NGOs, CBOs in support of Land Reform and rural development.: This goal will be supported through implementation of the skills delivery programme; a renewed focus will be placed on partnership funding and support to rural structures and youth. Funding will be prioritised for learnership and skills programmes; Improved Agricultural education and training systems: This goal will be supported through the implementation of the ETQA programme and a renewed focus of funding will be channelled towards expanding on the RPL programme and towards alignment with the QCTO processes. Increased Mandatory grant participation of levy paying employers: This goal will be supported through the implementation of the skills planning programme, a renewed focus will be placed on the induction of new employers and the capacitation of Skills Development Facilitators (SDFs) Increased participation of Youth in Agriculture: This goal will be supported through the implementation of the skills planning programme focussing on increased participation in career development events Increased Public sector capacity: This goal will be supported through the implementation of the Administration and Skills Planning programmes, focussing funding on the development of agricultural leaders and strengthening the capacity of board structures. 12
13 Part B: Programme and sub-programme plans 1. Programme 1: Skills Planning 1.1. Purpose: To ensure that HRD information is available and contribute to skills development planning. This programme aims to address the challenges of lack of institutional mechanisms that provide credible information and analysis of the supply and demand for skills, thus informing the skills planning and delivery processes. It also looks at the gap in terms of the capacity to conduct and coordinate professional research, and the dissemination of information. The management of mandatory grants will be done through the skills planning department who is ultimately responsible for achieving the objectives within this programme. Currently AgriSETA has approximately registered employers, of which pay skills development levies. The SETA has a total of registered SDFs (skills development facilitators) throughout the nine provinces, who are either employed by companies or work as freelance consultants for one or more companies. Generally, the mandatory grant system and the submission of the WSPs (workplace skills plans) and ATRs (annual training reports) by companies are working well, at a 73% pay-out rate of mandatory grants. However, there are some challenges that need to be addressed in order to maximise the effectiveness of this process. Sub-programme 1.1.: Research Strategic objective Strategic Plan target 1.1.

Conditional grants The AgriSETA s levy base is relatively small in relation to the need expressed for funding of learning interventions annually. The cross subsidization of capacity building programmes and the collaborative approach taken by AgriSETA broadens the impact of projects. The table below reflects the conditional grants currently active:.

43 7. Public entities AgriSETA recognises the importance of partnerships to achieve implementation of the Sector strategy. Over a number of years the SETA has worked with various sector stakeholders to implement skills development projects. Some projects are of a short term nature, but many have developed into medium term collaborations that have organically evolved into more meaningful longer term partnerships. This section is in two parts: the one dealing with existing partnerships, setting out their focus and scope; the second setting out a strategy for the development of new partnerships during the period Current partnerships Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) The partnership with DRDLR has two components, land reform and youth. The DRDLR and the AgriSETA partnered in 2010 to identify the beneficiaries of land reform who might be supported to establish viable agri-businesses on their newly acquired land. The NSF was approached and provided R44m. The SETA allocated R20 million. Training has been provided and continues to be provided to Communal Property Associations (CPAs). Training was provided on governance as well as plant and animal production. Mentoring has also been arranged. Funding is in place to It is the intention of the SETA to apply for more funds. However such an application is not guaranteed and so discussions will be held with DRDLR to discuss how such training to land reform beneficiaries can be sustained in future. Youth The National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) has as its focus to develop rural youth. In a joint project some 470 young people have been provided access to agricultural training. This is an important project as it aims to motivate and incentivise young people to work on the land and thereby have a stake in their rural communities rather than gravitate to the towns. It is unclear at this stage how successful the project has been. On the basis of a review the DRDLR and the SETA will determine whether to take the project forward in the longer term. Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) The DAFF and AgriSETA have a partnership that is centred around the project Farm Together which supports agricultural cooperative development. The focus of the training is on governance, which means that the DRDLR also supports the project as it expands the number of land reform beneficiaries receiving such training via the NSF project. DAFF and DRDLR have provided the farms and projects, whist the SETA provides and quality assures the training. 456 groups (coops and CPAs) and 2280 individual cooperative members were trained in the year In addition to this work there is another long term project with DAFF that focuses on the development and training of extension officers. This is funded from ring-fenced skills development funds within DAFF. KZN Department of Agriculture The Department of Agriculture in KZN and the SETA have partnered in the delivery of skills development to a number of agricultural cooperatives. The focus has been on some of the larger cooperatives. One has 27 workers, others have less. There are 84 workers and members being 43
