The practice of a trade, occupation or profession may be regulated by law. 2. Policy mandates: The National Development Plan – Vision 2030 developed on the basis that South Africa needs an economy that is more inclusive, more dynamic and in which the fruits of growth are shared more equitably The DSBD plays a major and direct role in implementing Chapters 3 and 6 of the NDP that deal with the economy and employment and rural inclusive growth, respectively. The NDP builds on the government’s New Growth Path that aims to create 5 million jobs by 2020 and bring about a new more inclusive, labour-intensive and efficient economy. The department is tasked to contribute to two outcomes of the MTSF, namely, Outcome 4: Decent employment through inclusive growth, and Outcome 7: Rural development. 3

Programme Review 6 The department inherited a package of programmes conceptualised at different times at the dti; It did not inherit a ready-made and full solution to deliver the small business development and co-ordinating mandate of a department; Hence it commissioned an objective scientific Programme Review determine the relevance and impact of the existing programmes to the mandate of the DSBD; The DSBD adopted most of the findings and recommendations that emanated from the review, which informed our strategy, value chain service delivery model and programme structure; Consequently, this new business model informed to a great extent the department’s strategic plan and APP; From a strategy perspective, the Programme Review assisted the department to understand clearly its mandate, which we are geared to deliver with the available resources.
