ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN - Dedea

FOREWORD
The annual performance plan takes cue from the strategic plan for the period 2010 – 2014. The
plan is a prioritised consolidation of identified MTSF programmes, the Provincial Economic Growth
and Infrastructure programme of action, and the revised Provincial Growth and Development Plan
(PGDP).
In an effort to streamline operations and realise significant impact within the Eastern Cape, the
Department will focus on the following strategic dimensions over the next three years:
• Realignment and streamlining of the DEDEA and its public entities to increase effectiveness
and efficiencies
• Rapid advancement of rural development to address Apartheid-created spatial distortions
and poverty
• Management and protection of the natural environment
• Protection, diversification and expansion of our manufacturing and services sectors
• Achieving a sustainable balance between economic growth and responsible use of land
and natural resources
• Creating an enabling regulatory function that ensures legal and regulatory compliance and
• Creation of an enabling environment to support enterprise development.
The mandate of the Department will be undertaken by a network of head office, regional offices and
public entities, each of whom will have specific form and function to deliver to various clients and
customers of the Department.
Although there is urgency for service delivery, during the first year, the Department will ensure that
requisite capacity of the state is provided and resources appropriately apportioned. Key strategies,
action plans and initiatives in support of sustainable economic development will be completed
during the first two years of this plan.
