3. BACKGROUND AND POLICY CONTEXT
The CBE 2014 Strategic Plan is a product of the Strategic Planning Session held by the new CBE Council on the February 2011.
The Strategic Plan is informed by the following key policy documents:
Updated Government’s medium term strategic framework document
2011 State of the Nation Address
Outline of the Minister’s key priorities
The 2011 National Budget including estimates of national expenditure
The 2011/14 Strategic Plan and 2011/12 Business Plan considered and integrated key national and sectoral policy priorities including inputs from key stakeholders such as Professional Councils
This resulted in realignment of CBE work in an effort to make the organisation and the BE industry more responsive to important developmental priorities such as job creation and skills development.
The review of the mandates of the CBE was also a key input towards the strategic and business planning for the next MTEF period
The 2011/12 CBE Business Plan has since been tabled to Minister of Public Works for consideration and approval.

4. Some key challenges Slow pace of transformation in the BE sector
Poor representation of women and black people in the BE industry
Skills development
Poor throughput rates from tertiary education levels
Poor maths and science literacy level (from high school level)
Registration bottlenecks within BE professions
Delivery constraints
Mandates of CBE and Professional Councils were never fully costed
Funding and human resource capacity constraints at Professional Council level
Funding constraints at CBE level

5. RESPONSES TO PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE
The previous engagements with the Portfolio Committee raised two critical aspects on the resolution of Accreditation of Built Environment (BE) Programmes that are not accredited and conclusion of MoA between the Professional Councils and CBE.
On the Accreditation, we have concluded an Accreditation timetable outlining the time series targets and programme of ensuring that all unaccredited BE programmes are accredited within the term of the current Professional Councils terms.
On the conclusion and sign-off of the MoAs to regularise institutional relations, enable alignment and effective co-ordination, only 2 agreements have been signed with the SACPVP and SACPCMP. It must be noted that inspite the conclusion of in-principle agreements with all the 6 PCs as of 18 January 2011 with the process that commenced from October 2010 following the Portfolio Committees directive to conclude the MoA agreed upon in Joint Strategic Planning session of February 2009, the balance of PCs including ECSA, SACQSP, SACLAP and SACAP have not signed the agreement.

6. RESPONSES TO PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE
The public policy priorities relating to Job Creation, Rural development, Green House Gas Mitigation and Safety & Health have received prioritised responses through the available policy instruments.
The policy instruments that have been identified to drive the re-orientation of professional practice are 1. CPD (Continued Professional Development), 2. Accreditation requirements of Built Environment Programmes, 3. SGB (Standard Generating Body function of setting standards for curricula) and 4. International Agreements function for mutual recognition of Professions and Qualifications.
The approach is informed by an active instrumentalist approach to equip our Built Environment Professionals with the required skills sets, prior exiting institutions of higher learning and those in practice, to be able to Design, Develop, Maintain, Refurbish and Rehabilitate our Infrastructure through Labour Intensive Techniques, enable contextualised Rural Development, deliver infrastructure that meets our Kyoto Protocol obligations within Cabinet’s approved LTMS Strategy for the Republic and within a no harm ethos to Labour and the Public.
It should be noted that the impact of our policy instruments, is within the time series range of medium term between 3-5 years post implementation.

The CBE has requested the Minister to consider making additional funds available to the CBE to assist the organisation to implement its key priorities for 2011/12
The additional funds would significantly assist the CBE to effectively discharge its mandates and to further ensure that the BE industry makes a meaningful contribution to key policy priorities of government
