ECSA | www.ecsa.co.za 5Message from the President of the CouncilThe world of engineering is an ever changing landscape because of the need to keep up with thesocio-economic demands. The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) has been given a leg-islative mandate to regulate the engineering profession. ECSA must also contribute in the devel-opment of a stable engineering environment that balances supply and demand. It is also importantto uphold the integrity of the profession. The registration process should be rigorous and of highstandard whilst retaining the principles of transparency and fairness. All registered persons mustconduct themselves in an ethical manner at all times. It is therefore our legislative mandate to en-sure that those engineers who are registered with us adhere to the spirit and the letter of the conductof registered persons.In this report, we show how ECSA business impacts on the macro-environmental factors such asthe triple challenges of unemployment, inequality and poverty within the context of South Africa. Asa result, we have partnered with government as we promote the realization of the National Devel-opment Plan (Vision 2030). Our continuous engagement with the Presidential Infrastructure Coor-dinating Committee through our Thought Leadership Forum is an effort to facilitate and nurture theculture of innovation and research within the Built Environment. We envisage that our core businessbetween 2015 and 2020 will be focussed on supporting the development priorities of government bydeveloping a reliable pipeline of engineering skills.The strategic alignment between the Department of Public Works (DPW), Council for the Built Envi-ronment (CBE) and ECSA is a strategic partnership that seeks to enhance the engineering profes-sion through cooperation and using shared resources. This will eventually translate to meaningfulsupport of the government mandate.The development of the annual performance plan has been a rigorous process where the first phaseinvolved preparation and gathering of information from internal and external stakeholders. The sec-ond phase was analysis and synthesis of information in order to come up with a plausible supportmodel for delivering the mandate of ECSA. We therefore commend ECSA staff for a job well donein concluding this plan. Lastly, the committees of Council had to be realigned to the new organo-gram structure as approved by Council in order to achieve a well functional operational plan. Thisclearly redefines the roles of committees and seeks to alleviate duplication where necessary. Thiswill enhance effectiveness and efficiency of ECSA. I am therefore pleased to deliver the strategicdocument and the Annual Performance Plan of ECSA for 2015 to 2020 and 2015/16 financial yearsrespectively as documents that will guide us to achieve our mandate and continue to support thesocio-economic mandate of government. Yours sincerely_____________________________Mr Cyril Vuyani Gamede, Pr EngPresidentTHE ENGINEERING COUNCIL OF SOUTH AFRICA ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN ECSA | www.ecsa.co.za

ECSA | www.ecsa.co.za 7PART A: STRATEGIC OVERVIEW1. Situational AnalysisThe 2014 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) sets the broad macro-economicenvironment of the country which will have an impact on the configuration of the Built Environment,and secondly set the policy priorities of government through trade-offs that will be enforced by themacro-economic environment.The 2014 MTBPS identifies the policy priorities of government. It states that Government’s 2014-19 Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) provides a roadmap to address these challenges. Itis the first five-year policy framework designed in sync with the 2030 vision of the National Devel-opment Plan. The 2014-19 MTSF aims to improve policy coherence, alignment and coordinationacross government. It highlights the need for partnerships between a capable developmental state,a thriving business sector and a strong civil society. It identifies employment, education and enhanc-ing the capacity of the state as core policy objectives. The following are the outcomes targeted inthe 2014-2019 MSTF:1. Quality basic education2. A long and healthy life for all South Africans3. All people in South Africa are and feel safe4. Decent employment through inclusive growth5. A skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth plan6. An efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure network7. Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities contributing to food security for all8. Sustainable human settlement and improved quality of household life9. Responsive , accountable, effective and efficient local Government10. Protect and enhance our environmental assets and natural resources11. Create a better South Africa and contribute to a better Africa and better world12. An efficient, effective and development-oriented public service13. A comprehensive, responsive and sustainable social protection system14. A diverse, socially cohesive society with a common national identityThe Department of Public Works as the Executive Authority of the ECSA contributes directly tooutcomes 4, 6, 7 and 12; and indirectly to outcomes 1, 5, 8, 10 and 14 as identified in HonourableMinister Nxesi’s Five Year Policy Statement and Vision for the period 2014-2019. These have animpact on the strategic programmes and projects of the ECSA and the CBE,The Council for the Built Environment (CBE) is the overarching body that coordinates the activitiesof the Built Environment Professional Councils. The CBE is of the view that the period between2015 and 2020 is the time to consolidate and position the Built Environment Professions (BEPs) asimportant contributors to the development priorities of the State in support of the 14 outcomes ofgovernment, and those outcomes to which DPW has a direct and indirect contribution.The CBE have identified the following core policy objectives in order to provide key areas thatwill anchor its effort and activities. The MTSF priorities over the period ahead as identified in theMTBPS, which are amenable, to the CBE mandate, include the following• Building the capacity of the public sector, particularly at local government level, through the “back-to-ba- sics” approach, focused on improving service delivery, accountability and financial management.THE ENGINEERING COUNCIL OF SOUTH AFRICA ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN ECSA | www.ecsa.co.za

8• Improving the quality of the education system, starting with greater attention to human resources manage- ment and annual assessment of learners to benchmark progress.CBE, following the policy priorities stated above set the following key priorities objectives in themedium-term as follows:• Ensuring that Built Environment (BE) academic programmes curricula addresses issues of Labour Intensive Construction, implementation of the Infrastructure Delivery Management System (IDMS), Sustainable Development and Health and Safety.• Promotion of high demand skills for Strategic Infrastructure Projects (SIPs).• Stepping up mechanisms, programmes, projects and interventions to drive transformation and ensur- ing adequate representation of women and black people within the BE through the CBE Transformation Model;• Scaling up the maths and science support programme to reach learners in grade 1 to 12 in 2018;• Establishing a structured candidacy programme for candidates and interns to address bottlenecks in the skills pipeline;• Supporting workplace training of BE graduates/candidates and interns to deepen competencies and to promote professional registration;• Strengthening the technical capacity of local, provincial and national government;• Aligning the policy planning and reporting processes of Built Environment Professional Councils (BEPCs) to the government’s planning cycles and the government’s priorities;• Strengthening monitoring and regulatory work on delegated public functions of the BEPCs; and• Enhancing internal systems, controls and capabilities to allow the organisation to deliver on its mandate and strategic goals.2.1 Performance EnvironmentECSA has aligned its strategy to the Department of Public Works as the accounting authority andthe Council for the Built environment as the body charged with oversight role over the six built En-vironment Professional Councils. ECSA is of the view that the strategic objectives identified willimpact positively on the socio-economic growth and development of the South Africa. The followingare the strategic goals and strategic objectives of the ECSA within its context and in alignment withthe national priorities:• Recognising engineering practitioners through excellent, relevant and globally accepted educational standards;• Registering engineering practitioners through accessible, fair, transparent , efficient and credible systems;• Growth and retention of registered engineering practitioners;• Achieve growth of the engineering profession by increasing the number of engineering practitioners to meet the existing and future demands;• Engineering practitioners successfully renew their registration through fair, credible, transparent and accessible processes;• Promote public awareness of the profession and its standards through public education, information and awareness programmes;• Protection of the health, safety and interests of the public through effective regulation of the• profession;• Regulate the profession in accordance with the legislative requirements;• Undertake Research to into strategic contributions the profession could make to support national programmes including and not limited to NDP, NIP and the national beneficiation strategy;• Be responsive to decision makers through excellent stakeholder relationships;• Development of funding proposals for implementation of specific projects from Government and other stakeholders; andTHE ENGINEERING COUNCIL OF SOUTH AFRICA

ECSA | www.ecsa.co.za 9• Manage a sustainable, transformed and coherent organisation that is capable of delivering the• impact desired by its stakeholders and society.2.2 Organisational EnvironmentThe engineering Council has been in existence since 1968 and have had the founding statutes repealedtwice in 1999 and 2000. Since its establishment, this is the first time that the ECSA develop its strategy inline with the Government priorities. A business strategy and business plan was developed for the first timein 2010 since its existence. Since 2010 the Council has put in place monitoring and evaluation tools for con-tinues improvement. During March 2015 CBE impressed on ECSA that an annual performance plan shouldbe developed in the recommended format of the National Treasury.The strategy developed considered both the internal and external factors and mainly shaped by the transfor-mational factors in an endeavour to correct the overt disparities in the registration regime. Council recognis-es that the new strategic direction is a major milestone in the history of the council. Effective implementationand monitoring of the operation plan in realising the strategic objectives is imperative. Resources are neededto realise the strategy.2.
