DEAT DONOR STRATEGY NOVEMBER 2006

AIM OF THE STRATEGY  To have a more strategic and focused bilateral donor engagement that is DEAT driven and contributes to achieving our strategic objectives and priorities. DEAT DONOR STRATEGY

The donor strategy matrix has been developed with a view to addressing the following two focus areas:  The countries  Specific sectoral areas of cooperation. DEAT BILATERAL ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY MATRIX

In determining the countries to cooperate with we looked at:  Strategic political priorities of South Africa,  The technical expertise available in these countries  The financial and technical resources we are able to mobilize through development assistance. The following countries have been identified.  Australasia - Japan, Australia, New Zealand  North America – USA  Europe - Norway, Denmark, Germany, Finland, UK, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland and the European Union DEAT DONOR STRATEGY MATRIX COUNTRIES

 Programmes and projects are seen as separate processes from the normal core functions of DEAT - Not integrated into DEAT strategic plan.  Too project orientated with no coherent programmatic approach.  Funding the donors priorities or pet projects of officials.  No coherent financing packages are being developed, lack of effective utilization of total resources available and a lack of leveraging new resources such as private sector.  No clear programme/project champions and constant changes of programme/project managers.  No effective engagement with provinces, NGO’s etc in developing a coherent programme.  Donor funding has been unpredictable, uncertain and unsustainable. DEAT DONOR STRATEGY MATRIX RECIPIENT DONOR FUNDING – PROBLEMS

Donor funding is based on a finite period and also dependent on external and internal factors - Donor country’s economic situation, global influences (War on terrorism, Afghanistan, Iraq) and new governments (Denmark). Donor funding should be utilized:  To fund short term initiatives  As start-up capital to leverage other resources  To fund initiatives which, if not fully implemented as a result of termination of funding, would not be a major obstacle to South Africa achieving its strategic objectives DEAT DONOR STRATEGY MATRIX RECIPIENT DONOR FUNDING – CRITERIA
