Alignment of the Seda’s Strategic Plan with MTSF Seda’s 2014 – 2019 Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan 2016/17 – 2018/19 aim to contribute to Outcomes 4 and 7 of the MTSF MTSF , which are ‘Decent employment through inclusive growth’ and ‘Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities contributing towards food security for all’. On inclusive growth, there is prioritiation of women, black, youth and people with disability to address participation levels of businesses owned by people from these demographics. Seda’s programmes are structured to drive towards the following intermediate outcomes: – Increase in turnover of assisted small enterprises – Increased number of people employed in assisted small enterprises – Reduced mortality rate of assisted small enterprises On creating sustainable rural communities, Seda has a focused programme for cooperative and communitiy private public partnership development. The branch and incubation networks also focus on this. 3

Summary of key issues identified in the Strategic Plan of the Entity. Performance environement delivery related issues: Limited growth and unsustainability of new and existing small enterprises. This problem is caused by a number of factors, such as: – Inadequate and uncoordinated support services to small enterprises and cooperatives, – Economic conditions that do not favour small enterprises and cooperatives, – A low entrepreneurial culture, – Limited access to capital resources, and – An unfavourable operating environment for small enterprises and cooperatives. The effects of the problem can be seen in the limited contribution by small enterprises and cooperatives to economic growth and employment, which ultimately leads to unemployment, poverty and inequality. 4

Summary of key issues identified in the Strategic Plan of the Entity. Operating environment delivery related issues: Seda has demonstrated the ability to improve the competitive and capabilities of the small enterprises it has assisted Of the approximately 84,000 clients assisted during the 2009/10 to 2014/15 period, nearly 40% indicated an increase in the number of people employed subsequent to Seda’s interventions. The Seda Technology Programme, which is able to track the actual number of jobs created, has created 14,686 direct and permanent jobs since incorporation into Seda in Efforts have been made on the four strategic focus areas, aimed at giving impetus to the National Development Plan.
