| Department of Defence | | Programme 1: Defence Administration | SUBPROGRAMME: CORPORATE COMMUNICATION Overview Defence Corporate Communication (DCC) managed to achieve most of its output and objectives against plan in FY 2008/09. The focus of corporate communication remained the ensuring of stronger public support and understanding for Defence. High priority was given by Defence Corporate Communication during the past year to positively portray the SANDF as an effective instrument of Government, in its commitment to service delivery and to improving the lives of all South Africans. DCC facilitated extensive media coverage for several key DOD achievements. Of note is the handing over of the SA Army trained Congolese Rapid Reaction Battalion, as part of the integration of the Armed Forces of the DRC. Of equal importance was the coverage of the rst International Military Chief of Chaplains Conference held in Cape Town, and the third Sea Power for Africa Symposium hosted by the SA Navy. As part of the programme to market the DOD as a preferred employer with the focus on the youth, DCC participated in a Ministry of Defence Imbizo Week in Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. Visits to schools in the area saw a total of about 5 000 members of the community attending. The Directorate also successfully arranged a visit for prominent women from various NGOs and the business sector to the SA Army Combat Training Centre. During the Africa Aerospace and Defence Exhibition 2008, DCC successfully participated in exhibitions and presented a youth programme to attract the youth to the SANDF as an “Employer of Choice”. Internal to the DOD, industrial theatre performances were staged to support the DOD Financial Management Division’s campaign to create awareness of the content of PFMA. DCC also provided a range of SANDF promotional productions on peace support operations to Soweto TV for broadcasting. A possible partnership with them is being negotiated for future co-operation with regard to airtime for the DOD. Signicant progress was made with the initial transformation of Communication in the DOD, due for nalisation in 2009. The career dispensation and functional structures for Defence Corporate Communication functionaries have furthermore, been nalised while the Corporate Communication Business Strategy was approved and the Corporate Communication Policy is awaiting approval. The DCC implemented the concept in support of the National Internship Programme, as a pilot project by employing four interns that ended up in appointments in the Regular and Reserve Force. DCC continued to be affected by the shortage of skills during the period under review, but was successful in lling some critical specialist posts. In addition, 12 Reserves were also employed in the Division. Through these steps, the Division has reduced the crippling effect of the shortage of scarce skills in the Division. A major challenge still remaining, however, is the appointment of dedicated Website Content Managers for Services and Divisions due to inadequate organisational structures. As a result of the situation, updated websites could not be ensured and will remain a challenge for the near future. The issue is being addressed through the Corporate Communication Transformation Work Study team to determine an acceptable solution and successful implementation thereof. DCC achieved most of its set objectives during the past year, despite several challenges such as the retention of skills and expertise. The utilisation of Reserves and Interns was one of the successful measures implemented by DCC to ensure that communication services and products met client/ stakeholder expectations and requirements. DCC will continue to focus its communication efforts on support for the achievement of consensus on defence, among the DOD stakeholders through the establishment of mutually benecial relationships.
