KEY CHANGES 3 The department initiated a major organisational transformation programme in 2015/16, which has culminated in a new organisational structure, a new Strategic Plan and a new APP, new budget programme structure and new placement of staff with refined or new job descriptions. This has placed the department in a better position to focus on improved delivery in 2016/17 The department was restructured to align with the strategic direction and the mandate of the Department. The new structure included the reprioritisation of available posts by downscaling corporate management from a branch to a chief directorate in favour of the creation of the additional core branch, and the proportionate redistribution of posts between the various business units. As part of the organisational transformation, a skills audit was undertaken to support the matching and placing of staff into the newly approved structure to ensure the correct placement of employees in terms of their skills when compared against the competency requirements of respective jobs on the new post establishment. All existing staff had to be placed against the structure and the bulk of staff have skills related to the administration programme. The inadequate compensation of employees budget has resulted in not all required posts being able to be funded, particularly in core business branches.

KEY CHANGES 4 The department’s financial structure consists of three programmes from 2106/17, namely (1) Administration; (2) Social, Transformation and Economic Empowerment; and (3) Policy Stakeholder and Knowledge Management Department refined its strategic objectives, outcomes and goals in accordance with restructured programmes to champion the advancement of women’s socio- economic empowerment and the promotion of gender equality and to enable improved delivery on the Minister’s Performance Agreement. The revision of the strategy has also been enhanced by the Presidential Directive of 22 September 2015, to the Economic Sector, Employment and Infrastructure Cluster Ministers to embed the empowerment of women in their departmental plans and expenditure and as a priority to ensure that the Nine Point Plan and the Oceans Economy are geared to empower women, and to the Minister in the Presidency Responsible for Women to monitor, evaluate and report on the implementation of this directive on a regular basis.

CONSTITUTIONAL, LEGISLATIVE & OTHER MANDATES 9 Constitutional mandate: The department derives its mandate from the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa which champions the achievement of equality, including gender equality, throughout its provisions and particularly section 9 thereof. Section 9 of the Constitution creates the basis for the obligation of the public sector, the private sector and civil society to eliminate and remedy gender, race and social inequalities. Section 9(2) of the Constitution guarantees the full and equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms by people of all genders. It furthermore provides that legislative and other measures designed to protect or advance persons or categories of persons disadvantaged by unfair discrimination, may be taken to promote the achievement of equality. The Constitution also provides the foundation for the promotion and protection of the rights of all South Africans and sets out the inter-changeable roles of the various institutions of government in achieving this.

CONSTITUTIONAL, LEGISLATIVE & OTHER MANDATES 10 Legislative mandates: South Africa adopted the principle of mainstreaming of the rights of women across all legislation; policies, programmes and budgets post As such, various institutions responsible for promoting and monitoring the realisation of the socio-economic empowerment of women towards a gender equal society are required to ensure adherence to gender mainstream principles. Since 1994, the principle of ‘gender equality’ influenced legislation development and policy formulation in all sectors. The law reform processes undertaken since 1994 have resulted in the production of an unprecedented body of laws and policies which the Department has to monitor and evaluate their impact on women.

CONSTITUTIONAL, LEGISLATIVE & OTHER MANDATES 11 Policy Mandate: The South African National Policy Framework for Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality (2000) establishes a vision and framework for gender mainstreaming across laws, policies, procedures and practices which will serve to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women and men in all spheres and structures of government as well as in the workplace, the community and the family. The main objectives are to: create an enabling policy environment for translating government commitment to gender equality into a reality; develop policies, programmes and mechanisms to empower women and to transform gender relations in all aspects of work, at all levels of government as well as within the broader society; ensure that gender considerations are effectively integrated into all aspects of government policies, activities and programmes; establish an institutional framework for the advancement of the status of women as well as the achievement of gender equality; and advocate for the promotion of new attitudes, values and behaviour, and a culture of respect of women’s rights as human rights in line with the policy.

CONSTITUTIONAL, LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER MANDATES 12 Planned Policy Initiatives: The Department is in the process of developing a Discussion Document on Gender Mainstreaming and vehicles of gender mainstreaming, including gender focal points, gender sensitive planning, gender equality regulatory framework, gender responsive budgeting, gender transformation monitoring and evaluation The Department will also participate in and facilitate the mainstreaming of gender and contribute to policy development by other government departments.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS 13 South Africa has a history of inequality and divisions resulting from years of apartheid, a system premised on exclusion on the basis of race, class and gender which has resulted in poverty, inequality and unemployment. While there has been improvement in the indicators of the socio-economic empowerment of women since 1994, gender disparities still persist in favour of men: Gender Inequality Index (UNDP): In 2012, ranked 90; in 2014, ranked 83 against desired state of 1.0 Gender Development Index (UNDP): In 2014, against desired state of 1.0 Gender Gap Report (WEF) In 2014, ; in against desired state of 1.0 Outcome 14 Impact Indicator- % of women in legislative bodies- Women constitute 33% of all Judges, of the 61 female Judges 48 are black. There are 2 female Judge Presidents and a female Deputy Judge President. Women representation in the National Assembly is at 41% and the representation of women at Cabinet level stands at approximately 43%. According to Quarterly Labour Force Survey, Quarter by STASSA, the general unemployment rate was 33.8% for both men and women and 38.0 % for women.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS 14 According to Gender Series Volume 1: Economic Empowerment by STASSA, the working age population by sex and fields of study among those with tertiary education in 2011 indicated that the market participation is highly determined by the tertiary level of education and a higher percentage of participation was for those who qualify in economic and management sciences at 30% and physical/ mathematical sciences/ engineering at approximately 22%. Gender differences are noted where female where clustered around arts/ education/ hospitality, social studies and health sciences at 68.6% and 67.1% respectively. Male on the other hand were more likely to have qualification in physical/mathematical science at 71.3%. The table below indicates:

PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENT 15 The Department of Women (DoW) is responsible for contributing to the deliverables of Outcomes 2, 3, 4, 13 and 14 : Outcome 14: Social Cohesion Sub- Outcome 2: Equal opportunities, inclusion and redress; Change attitudes and behavior in relation gender issues and xenophobia; Increased progress towards gender equality. Action to change attitudes and behaviour in relation to gender issues and xenophobia will be taken forward through 6 major gender campaigns annually and reported per quarter, namely: 1.Women’s month, including National Women’s Day 2.Girl Learner and Young Women Work Exposure Programme 3.16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and children 4.National Dialogues and Advocacy Programme 5.International Women’s Day 6.#365 Days Campaign for a non-violent South Africa These activities are budgeted for in the Stakeholder Coordination and Outreach sub- programme of the Policy, Stakeholder Coordination and Knowledge Management programme.

PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENT 16 In addition to Minister’s lead role in Outcome 14, the following are Outcomes and Sub-outcomes lead by other Ministers, in which Minister has a supporting role: Outcome 2: Along and healthy life for all South Africans – Sub-outcome 9: Maternal, infant and child mortality reduced Outcome 3: All people in South Africa are and feel safe – Sub-outcome 1: Reduce levels of contact crime Outcome 4: Decent Employment through inclusive growth – Sub-outcome 8: Economic opportunities for historically excluded and vulnerable groups are expanded and the numbers of sustainable small businesses and cooperatives are improved markedly. Outcome 13: An inclusive and responsive social protection system – Sub-outcome 1: Strengthening social welfare delivery through legislative, policy reforms; capacity building – Sub-outcome 2: Improved provision (improved quality and access) of early childhood development services for children aged 0-4.

PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENT 17 The department will also develop mechanisms to address identified gaps in the implementation of existing policies on women’s socioeconomic empowerment. The mechanisms to be developed include: interventions for skilling women in the economy, a gender responsive planning and budgeting framework, and the prevention strategy for the integrated programme of action on violence against women and children. The gender responsive budgeting framework will guide government on how it may need to adjust its priorities and reallocate its resources to meet its commitments to women, including those stipulated in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Beijing Platform for Action.

PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENT 18 The departments mandate is aligned to the National Development Plan (NDP) which is anchored on the Constitution's vision of a prosperous, democratic, non-sexist, non- racist and equal society. An overall gender analysis of the NDP has been conducted by the CGE and shared with government. A possible measure to increase economic benefits for women across sectors is through the facilitation of access to economic opportunities which would address the quality of women’s participation in the economy, beyond their mere presence as workers or women in entry level businesses.

PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENT 19 Women comprised 61 percent of undergraduate enrolments between 2010 and 2012, and 64 percent of enrolments in post-graduates degrees below the level of Masters Degrees. However, this proportion falls to 48 percent for Masters Degrees and 43 percent for doctoral degrees; once again these proportions are below females’ population shares.

DEPT OF WOMEN PRIORITIES FOR NEXT 5 YEARS 20 In the next five years, the priority of the DoW will be to ensure that women’s socio- economic empowerment and women’s rights are mainstreamed across all sectors of society through: Policy implementation analysis and advice to ensure engendered transformation for socio-economic empowerment of women and gender equality; Monitoring, evaluating and making recommendations for enhancing women’s economic empowerment; Monitoring, evaluating and making recommendations for advancing women’s social empowerment; Monitoring, evaluating and making recommendations for enhancing women’s access to justice, safety and security Development of gender monitoring framework to evaluate progress made on women’s socio-economic empowerment and gender equality; and Conducting outreach initiatives, stakeholder coordination, dissemination and gathering of information to promote women’s socio-economic empowerment and gender equality.

ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT 21 Following the National Elections that were held in April 2014, the National Macro Organisation of State (NMOS) 2014 process facilitated the establishment of the Department of Women and the transfer of functions related to the rights and empowerment of children and people with disabilities to the Department of Social Development. The NMOS 2014 process did not allow for restructuring processes. In 2015/16 the department initiated an organisational transformation process to review and align its strategic approach to the new mandate of the Department of Women to champion the advancement of women’s socio-economic empowerment and the promotion of gender equality. This process informed the organisational design, placement of officials and the revised budget programme structure.

ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT 22 The Department accordingly redefined its Strategic Goals in support of its revised mandate in terms of: Promotion of strategic leadership, good governance, effective, efficient and economical use of public resources for the socio-economic empowerment of women and promotion of gender equality; Promotion of gender mainstreaming of socio-economic and governance programmes such that they accelerate a just and equitable society for women; Promotion of gender knowledge and analysis of policy and policy implementation for socio-economic empowerment of women; and Promotion of the rights of women and gender equality advocacy and information gathering in outreach campaigns and stakeholder engagement on achievements with respect to women's socio-economic empowerment and gender equality. Monitoring and evaluation the implementation of government programmes including the nine point plan in the economic cluster departments.

ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT 23 In consultation with DPSA, a transitional organisational structure was designed that was aligned to the mandate and redefined strategic intentions – albeit a compromise between available resources and the visionary structural model, whereby the following services shall be directed towards the achievement of its strategic objectives: Social transformation and economic empowerment; and Policy, stakeholder coordination and knowledge management The new structure included the reprioritisation of available posts by downscaling corporate management from a branch to a chief directorate in favour of the creation of the additional core branch, and the proportionate redistribution of posts between the various business units. A skills audit was undertaken to support the matching and placing of staff into the newly approved structure to ensure the correct placement of employees in terms of their skills when compared against the competency requirements of respective jobs on the new post establishment. All existing staff had to be placed against the structure and the bulk of staff have skills related to the administration programme. The inadequate compensation of employees budget has resulted in not all required posts being able to be funded, particularly in core business branches.

DESCRIPTION OF STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS 24 The Department of Women conducted its departmental strategic review session on the 19 to 20 July The session was attended by the Ministry and all management of the department. The purpose of the session was to review the Strategic Plan and develop a logic model of the department with assistance from the Government Technical Advisory Centre (GTAC). The Minister gave the key note address where she outlined the department’s priority for the next five years and also the interim organisational structure. Prior to the session various branches in the department were requested to develop their outline of the strategy for the next five years. Follow up strategic planning sessions, including Exco sessions led by the Minister, were held to refine the Logic Model and align the Logic Model, the strategic objectives and the programmes of the department.
