Strategy and Budget Presentation: 2009

Strategy The agency’s strategic plan is guided by the following objectives: To conduct an effective and efficient documented doping prevention programme, that is independent, unannounced, reliable, secure and suitable for the purpose of detecting and deterring the use of prohibited substances and methods by conducting a successful testing programme. To implement a comprehensive national education and awareness programme, that is relevant to specific target groups, accessible, valid and measurable, for the purpose of preventing and deterring the use of prohibited substances and methods. To participate and actively engage with international counterparts and other agencies who have strategic commonalities with the agency. To pursue additional funding sources to supplement the SAIDS government grant To build an organizational policy framework that supports efficient, transparent and accountable corporate governance.

Key Performance Areas The key performance areas are closely linked to achieving the strategic objectives : Doping Control Results Management Education International Relations Resource management Compliance Administration

International Paradigm Shift in the Fight Against Doping New international policy developments and requirements affected how we measure our key performance areas of doping control and results management. –Adoption of 2009 World Anti-Doping Code by March 2009 –Implementing a Registered Testing Pool within specific guidelines –Harmonized and independent results management –Minimum of 3000 tests to maintain Laboratory accreditation –Doping control infrastructure to include blood testing –Central administration of doping control through international database (ADAMS) –The Code includes numerous international standards through which to develop operational plans.

2009: Strategy Impacts Any dramatic changes in the agency’s strategy has a “knock-on” effect on the projected budget. In 2009/2010: a strategic priority to develop a national anti-doping investigative infrastructure Compliance on three levels –Auditor-General, internal audit and risk management –World Anti-Doping Code compliance –SABS ISO 9002 quality compliance – internal processes Re-formulate schools anti-education strategy to be more effective and efficient

Budget Cuts Current government grant = R5.7 million Shortfall of R4.3 million We can only spend “money in the bank” Implement further administrative efficiencies –Integrate database management into doping control process (ADAMS) –Greater staff loads Spending Cuts –Reduce number of drug tests to sport (will not meet SRSA indicator of 3100 tests per annum) –Cut education expenditure. Dependent on grant funding –No scientific or social research on drug use in sport

What is the Shortfall of R4.3 million? Blood testing –Capacity training –Blood testing equipment EPO tests Registered Testing Pool –Athlete training and education –Administration of whereabouts –Increase quantity of out-of-competition tests –International requests for testing Results management Anti-doping Investigations (performance vs social drugs) External audit Risk management

What are the Solutions? Government support for core business activities –Sustainability Increase grant funded projects –International/national partners –Sport sponsors Risk management (Festina cycling team) Continue to strive for achieving administrative efficiencies
