RESEARCH AND POLICY ANALYSIS e: 13 October 2015

SUB-PROGRAMME STRUCTURE 4 Programme 3: Policy Stakeholder and Knowledge Management Sub-Programme: Research and Policy Analysis -Purpose: To promote the development of gender sensitive research and conduct policy analysis to intervene in transformation for socio-economic empowerment of women and gender equality.

Links to NDP & MTSF 5 NDP commitment: “transformation of the economy should involve the active participation and empowerment of women” informs one of the priority focus areas of DoW which is economic empowerment of women and financial inclusion of women NDP also states: “social, cultural, religious and educational barriers for women to enter the job market should be addressed. Concrete measures should be put in place to address these barriers”. In general, the sub-programme Research and Policy Analysis will analyse policies and legislations to identify gaps and weakness and undertake/ coordinate research as it pertains to women’s socio economic empowerment. This will cover concerns such as violence against women, women’s economic empowerment, women’s health, education and issues affecting young women.

Links to NDP & MTSF cont… 6 This is a broad scope of work covering many sectors. The work of the department will be to make available evidence-based research and policy recommendations to inform government’s planning, decision making, policy development and implementation. Given the department’s priority focus areas, the scope of this sub-programme has been narrowed down to focus on economic empowerment of women. Analysis of what concrete measures are put in place will be done to determine whether there is an impact on women’s economic empowerment. This entails looking at the employment of women, participation of women in the economy, increasing access to opportunities for women including for entrepreneurship development, SMMEs and Women’s Co-ops and education, training and skills development for women. Evidence based research and policy analysis on all government economic initiatives and incentive schemes as they pertain to women’s economic empowerment is critical and essential.

Links to NDP & MTSF cont… 7 Thus the Research and Policy Analysis is particularly focused on NDP chapters 3, 4, 6 and 9 and Outcome 4 on Decent Employment through Inclusive Growth (Sub-outcome 8). In addition, it seeks to address the AU Agenda 2063 Aspiration 1 actions C&D as well as SDGs 8, 9,14, 2, 6, 7 & 5. In this regard the sub-programme Research and Policy Analysis is honing in on government’s 9 point plan as it is meant to radically transform the economy; as well as looking at the benefits to women of government’s incentives schemes. For 2016/ 17, the focus of Research and Policy Analysis on the 9 point plan is particularly on Land Reform and Agri-Parks programmes while the incentives schemes will be analysed and a gender policy paper will be developed showing gender responsiveness and impact on women’s economic empowerment.

Research and Policy Analysis Activities: 2016/17 8 The Research and Policy Analysis has 4 activities for 2016/17 viz. - Research Analytical report on Land Reform and Agri-parks programmes -Research analytical reports on international commitments – Solemn Declaration update report -A five year research strategy on women’s socio-economic empowerment and gender equality in relation to 9 point plan -Gender policy paper on benefits to women of government incentives schemes in Agri-Parks and Land Reform as related to 9 point plan

Research and Policy Analysis Activities 1: 2016/17 9 Quarter 2-3 Research Analytical report on Land Reform and Agri-parks programmes: This output entails desktop literature review and analysis of policies related to land reform and agri-parks programme; (Quarter 1) The activities will also include site visits to agri-parks to determine best practices in terms of impact on women, (Quarter 1: KZN; Free State & Gauteng; North West, Mpumalanga & Western Cape; Northern Cape, Limpopo & Eastern Cape) Quarter 1; Quarter 2 and Quarter 4: Collaborate with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform

Research and Policy Analysis Activities 1: 2016/17 10 Quarter 3 and Quarter 4; A research analytical report will be produced at the end of these activities in which policy and research recommendations are provided to the relevant stakeholders such as the Departments of Rural Development and Land Reform, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, other departments in the economic sector, the Agricultural Research Council, and on how these programmes can further benefit women. Envisaged impact: The concept of Agri-parks includes the element of value addition/ value chain which should provide ample opportunities for women to obtain jobs as well as participate in economic activities where they have ownership and control

Research and Policy Analysis Activities 2: 2016/17 11 Quarter 1: Research analytical reports on international commitments – Solemn Declaration update report Research analytical data and information on women’s socio-economic empowerment will be used to account on progress made on government’s commitments to international obligations. In 2016/17, the department is only responsible for 1 report in terms of compliance. However, there will be ad-hoc reporting through out the year as and when the request is made by the United Nations (General Assembly Resolutions), Commonwealth Secretariat, UN Economic Commission for Africa, and other departments meeting their international commitments.

Research and Policy Analysis Activities 3 : 2016/17 12 Quarter 1; Quarter 2 and Quarter 3: A five year research strategy on women’s socio-economic empowerment and gender equality in relation to 9 point plan A draft strategy was initiated in the previous fiscal year. (Quarter 4 of 2015/2016) Quarter 4: In this financial year, the strategy will be strengthened through consultations with institutions of higher education, research institutions, other relevant stakeholders as well as with gender - research specialists. The research strategy will outline the DoW’s role in guiding gender responsive research and includes the research agenda which is particularly focused on government‘s 9 point plan. The DoW will not undertake any specific research during this fiscal year. Envisaged Impact: The 9 point plan comprises areas of focus that are predominantly male oriented and gender responsive research data and information will provide relevant stakeholders with evidence to include women and ensure their maximum benefits and participation in the different areas of focus.

Research and Policy Analysis Activities 4 : 2016/17 13 Gender policy paper on benefits to women of government incentives schemes in Agri-Parks and Land Reform as related to 9 point plan This output is linked to output (i) above. (Quarter 1 on literature review and analysis and Quarters 1, 2, 3 & 4 on collaboration with Departments of Rural Development and Land Reform and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.) However, it is focused on analysing policies related to incentives schemes with particular emphasis on Land Reforms (Quarter 1) and Agri-parks (Quarter 3) It involves desktop literature review (Quarter 1 on land reform and 3 on Agri- parks), analysis (Quarters 1 & 3) and drafting of the gender policy papers (Land Reform in Quarter 2 and Agri-parks in Quarter 4). Envisaged impact: will be in the collaboration with relevant stakeholders on the recommendations of the policy paper and is therefore future oriented as it will highlight areas that needs to be strengthened for positive effect for women’s economic empowerment.
