Application for Funding

DISCRETIONARY GRANTS EVALUATION PROCESS INTRODUCTION In terms of Gazette no. 35940 of 3 December 2012 (SETA Grant Regulations regarding monies received by a SETA and related matters), the Grant Regulations describe a Discretionary Grant as “the money allocated within the SETA to be spent on Discretionary Grants and projects contemplated in Regulation 6”: stating that a SETA may determine and allocate Discretionary Grants in support of the implementation of its Sector Skills Plan. In terms of Regulation 6 (4) a SETA must, on an annual basis, and in accordance with any guidelines issued by DHET, approve a Discretionary Grants policy, specifying how the SETA Discretionary Funds will be allocated to meet the sector needs. Furthermore, Regulation 6(5) states that the SETA Discretionary Grants policy must set out the funding framework, the different delivery models and project types that will be deployed and the mechanism for SETA member organisations to access the Discretionary Grants.

DISCRETIONARY GRANTS EVALUATION PROCESS MECHANISM TO ACCESS DISCRETIONARY GRANTS The MICT SETA process flow chart has reference. DISCRETIONARY GRANT COMMITTEE EVALUATION PROCESS The Discretionary Grant Evaluation Committee uses the following to evaluate submitted Letters of Intent. Before each sitting, the administrators serving in the Discretionary Grants Committee verify the following: If the employer/applicant’s Work Place Skills Plan is approved. Proof of Levy Payments on the Online Grant system. EMP201 forms requested from employers as proof of levy payment in the event that levies are not reflecting on the Online Grant System.

DISCRETIONARY GRANTS EVALUATION PROCESS Proof of accreditation or registration (Vendor Specific Programmes) where necessary. Learnerships; Skills Programmes; and Vendor Specific Programmes (Cisco, Microsoft, SAP etc.). If the programme applied for is in line with the MICT SETA Priority Skills List (2016/17 – 2017/18). If the employer is still implementing. Application declined; and Employer advised to re-apply on completion of the programme (as per completion on the commitment register). Applications are subject to a new evaluation by the Discretionary Grants Committee.

DISCRETIONARY GRANTS EVALUATION PROCESS For first time applicants, a vetting visit is conducted to determine numbers that can be allocated. The employer’s B-BBEE compliance in terms of code 400 (Skills Development).  Completion Fact File Report for previous programme. The administrators will then prepare and submit a checklist for each applicant for deliberations in the DG committee. During evaluations, the DG committee will consider all of the above and deliberate on. How each application relates to the SETA targets. How the numbers applied for impact on the budget. The motivation submitted. Once deliberations are concluded the committee will make a recommendation on whether the Letter Of Intent should be approved or not. A letter to this effect is then sent out to the applicant/employer advising of the outcome.

IF THE EMPLOYER IS DECLINED The applicant/employer is given the option to take the decision on review with the Review Committee. Outcome communicated to both the applicant/employer and the Discretionary Grants Evaluation Committee.

IF THE EMPLOYER IS APPROVED The Learning Programmes Division drafts a Service Level Agreement between the employer and the MICT SETA. The Senior Manager LPD signs the SLA as a witness on behalf of the MICT SETA and submits to the CEO for signature. The CEO signs the SLA and it gets sent to the employer for counter signatures.

IMPLEMENTATION STATUS This Discretionary Grants process has been successfully implemented from July 2016. It has also been audited by Internal Auditors in September 2015 and August 2016. Since the implementation of the process, the MICT SETA continued to receive clean audit reports as evidenced by the Auditor General’s Audit Report and the final management Report dated 31 July 2017. It was discussed and validated with the MICT SETA stakeholders at the consultative forums and there were no complaints as evidenced by feedback forms received.
