1.5.1.2 Prices In its strategic plan, the organisation has set out to re-engineer the PPI. Resources have been reprioritised to fund this activity. The revamped PPI will be launched in 2012/13. Further improvements include industry based PPIs, which will to determine the weights of the CPI basket. The 5-year strategic plan outlines the strategic intent to introduce a rolling sample collection methodology, which will lead to biennial updating of weights of the CPI. During 2010/11, an amount of R35 million was cut from the baseline of Stats SA. This cut had a serious implication on the sustainability of the survey programme, as Stats SA is currently funding the cut from ad hoc savings. operations or the future strategic intent of implementing a rolling sample survey. The impact is that the basket of goods for the CPI will become obsolete over time. 1.5.1.3 Employment, job creation and decent work on the labour market dynamics in the country. The labour force survey has introduced a new survey methodology survey that measures formal employment levels in the non-agriculture sector is dependent on samples drawn from the Business Register. 21 implementation of ISIC4 and 2008 SNA therefore has an impact on the future revision of the survey that could lead to the In addition, the organisation has set out to harmonise labour market indicators in the SANSS. Due to capacity and resource constraints within the organisation, this target will not be achieved. 1.5.1.4 Life circumstances, service delivery and poverty monitor levels of poverty over time. As outlined in the strategic plan, the organisation intends to introduce a continuous household survey that collects detailed expenditure information for both the IES and LCS. As already mentioned in paragraph 1.5.1.2, an amount of R35 million was cut from the baseline of Stats SA, which implies that the current survey programme cannot be sustained. Stats SA is currently funding the cut from ad hoc savings, which is not affordable over the medium term. The organisation will continue to conduct the annual general household survey to collect outcome statistical information on various social matters. Statistical information is disseminated on a national and provincial level to inform monitoring of progress. In order to broaden the domain of statistical production to inform socio-economic planning and monitoring, the strategic plan outlines the introduction of an integrated household survey programme. Information published from this survey cannot be used by municipalities for planning, monitoring and decision-making purposes. the South Africa I know, the home I understand
However, the main producer of statistics at a lower level is municipalities themselves. Output information to inform service delivery is based on administrative records kept by municipalities. The strategic intent in the new strategic as evidence in planning, monitoring, reporting and decision-making. Due to a lack of funding, this initiative cannot be implemented as envisaged. evidence-based planning, monitoring and decision-making for improved life circumstances, service delivery and poverty. 1.5.1.5 Population dynamics Stats SA has conducted a successful population census in 2011. Census information forms the baseline information statistical environment to measure development and progress. It provides information at a micro level that informs planning, monitoring, evaluation and decision-making at any level of geography. 22 becomes the most important instrument - a system of evidence to inform systems of planning and monitoring and evaluation in the country to measure progress and the developmental state of the country. organisation at every level and in every area. The organisation has the intellectual capability to design, analyse and produce any data series. It has shown through its delivery that it has the distinct competence and administrative and logistical data collection that not only serves Stats SA, but also serves partners in the SANSS in survey undertaking. through which statistical infrastructure was established. The census in 2001, the community survey in 2007 and the for the census is however coming to an end after the dissemination of census results in 2012/13. The state will not sustain its planning, monitoring and evaluation capabilities without a regular population census that forms the basis of a sound statistical system. The risk over the medium term will be if funding for a census or large scale survey is not approved, which implies that the statistical infrastructure that has been established cannot be sustained and will have to dismantle. With the next census or large scale survey, the organisation will have to restart its efforts towards building a statistical infrastructure. Civil registration and vital statistics has been adopted by the African Symposia on Statistical Development as the key focus on the continent. South Africa has accepted the leadership role through the Minister of Home Affairs in partnership with Stats SA in driving the improvement of civil registration and vital statistics systems on the continent. the South Africa I know, the home I understand
