ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN for the years 2010/11 - 2012/13 | Department of Economic Development and Environmental Affairs 10 PART A: STRATEGIC OVERVIEW 1 Updated situational analysis 1.1 Performance delivery environment The Deprivation Index is a composite measure of income and material deprivation; employment deprivation; education deprivation; adequate care deprivation; and living environment deprivation. The Eastern Cape is immediately identifiable on the national map of deprivation, reproduced in the Health Systems Trust Health Review 2008, as being home to some of the most deprived municipalities in the country. There is a higher than average concentration of deprivation in the municipalities of the former Transkei and Ciskei. Figure 1: Deprivation at municipal level, 2007. (Source: HST Health Review 2008, pp 253)
By contrast, an analysis of economic activity reveals that these same areas are practically devoid of meaningful economic activity. At present, there are two economic hubs in the province – in East London and Port Elizabeth – with little or no infrastructure linking these to the surrounding areas. In fact, the rural parts of the province are both economically under-developed and poorly provided for in respect of the delivery of government services. This sets a vicious cycle in motion, as areas with low levels of service delivery tend to have reduced access to economic opportunities, which makes the delivery of services more expensive and difficult. The vast majority of people living in the rural Eastern Cape (specifically in the former Transkei and Ciskei) are compelled to travel for an average of 120 minutes in order to access economic opportunities. According to Statistics South Africa, the Eastern Cape compares to the rest of the country as follows: • An economic growth rate of 2.9% in the past year, which is less that the national average of 3.1% • The reduction of unemployment to 29%. Unemployment remains stubbornly above the national average of 23.5% • The achievement of a gross investment growth rate of 8.3%, which is still less than national average of 12.5% Development Economic Indicator EC RSA Investment growth (%) 8.3 12.5 Persons below minimum living level (MLL) (%) 69 50 Unemployment (%) 29 23.5 GDP growth (%) 2.9 3.1 Grade 12 Education Level (20 years & older) 11.1 16.4 Figure 2: Eastern Cape performance on selected economic indicators (Source: StatsSA, 2009) With the widespread negative impact of the international economic crisis, the work of DEDEA has become increasingly important. In an impoverished, rural province, the effect of the crisis is most keenly felt by those who are already most vulnerable. Significant job losses in the two urban centres have exacerbated the endemic poverty of the rural areas as unemployed workers return home with no prospects. 11
