DEAT DONOR STRATEGY

NOVEMBER 2006

AIM OF THE STRATEGY

To have a more strategic and focused bilateral donor

engagement that is DEAT driven and contributes to

achieving our strategic objectives and priorities.

DEAT DONOR STRATEGY

The donor strategy matrix has been developed with a view

to addressing the following two focus areas:

The countries

Specific sectoral areas of cooperation.

DEAT BILATERAL ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY MATRIX

In determining the countries to cooperate with we looked at:

Strategic political priorities of South Africa,

The technical expertise available in these countries

The financial and technical resources we are able to

mobilize through development assistance.

The following countries have been identified.

Australasia - Japan, Australia, New Zealand

North America – USA

Europe - Norway, Denmark, Germany, Finland, UK,

France, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland and the

European Union

DEAT DONOR STRATEGY MATRIX COUNTRIES

Programmes and projects are seen as separate processes from the normal core

functions of DEAT - Not integrated into DEAT strategic plan.

Too project orientated with no coherent programmatic approach.

Funding the donors priorities or pet projects of officials.

No coherent financing packages are being developed, lack of effective utilization of

total resources available and a lack of leveraging new resources such as private

sector.

No clear programme/project champions and constant changes of programme/project

managers.

No effective engagement with provinces, NGO’s etc in developing a coherent

programme.

Donor funding has been unpredictable, uncertain and unsustainable.

DEAT DONOR STRATEGY MATRIX RECIPIENT DONOR FUNDING – PROBLEMS

Donor funding is based on a finite period and also dependent on external and

internal factors - Donor country’s economic situation, global influences (War

on terrorism, Afghanistan, Iraq) and new governments (Denmark). Donor

funding should be utilized:

To fund short term initiatives

As start-up capital to leverage other resources

To fund initiatives which, if not fully implemented as a result of termination of

funding, would not be a major obstacle to South Africa achieving its strategic

objectives
