ALIGNMENT WITH NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
SOCIAL COHESION AND NATION BUILDING
DAC is central in driving Chapter 15 of the NDP
DAC worked closely with the Presidency in developing the MTSF for the new
Outcome 14: Nation Building and Social Cohesion.
Outcome 14 is under the stewardship of the Minister of Arts and Culture
Other relevant departments include Sports and Recreation, Justice, Women, Social
Development, COGTA and SALGA
JOB CREATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DAC re-engineered its strategic focus during 2009-20014 Term of Office
This was informed by the government-wide re-orientation that put job creation and
economic development at the centre of government priorities.
DAC adopted the Mzansi Goldern Economy strategy (MGE) whose primary objective
is to chat the role of arts, culture and heritage in job creation & economic
development.
ALIGNMENT WITH NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Quality education and rural development
The NDP emphasizes the need to improve schooling and education as well as
the need to improve quality of life in rural areas of South Africa.
Going into the medium term, the department will continue to make a visible
contribution to quality education through ensuring that artists are placed in
schools to improve the teaching of arts in basic education.
This will not only ensure that a substantial number of artist will be employed but
will also increase interests in arts and improve audience development.
Building of arts, culture and heritage infrastructure in rural areas will continue to
be the priority of the department as we move into the next medium term.
Such infrastructure include libraries, heritage monuments and arts centres.
Maintenance of the already built infrastructure will also be central to the
department’s priorities.
Apart from developing and investing in our rural areas, such ventures will also
create much-needed jobs, as employment of local people will be at the centre of
such development.
ALIGNMENT WITH THE OUTCOMES OF THE MTSF
The 2013 July Cabinet Lekgotla approved 14 Outcomes for the 2014-2019 Medium
Term Strategic Framework.

responsible for the coordination, implementation, monitoring and reporting on
this outcome.

UPDATED SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
DAC has increasingly sought to support a number of emergent shifts in the arts, culture
and heritage sector through the implementation of its policy and strategic intent.
DAC has recognised the need to move towards sector-wide integrated planning, a
planning process that involved and recognise the environment, stakeholders and the
sector at large
In adopting the integrated sector-wide strategic planning approach DAC will ensure:
o Alignment of plans within the sector (DAC, Public Entities and Provincial Departments.)
o Effective consultation of the arts, culture and heritage sector and taking into account
genuine interests of stakeholders
o A thorough analysis of the department’s strengths and weaknesses as well as the
opportunities and treats presented by the outside environment
The strategic challenges that DAC has identified as it began to consciously work on
integrating the sector include (but not limited to):
o The bias in the distribution of public funds, the geographical location of physical
infrastructure, the dissemination of skills, the staffing, governance of institutions.
o Lack of training opportunities for black South Africans, women and young people and
almost no training for arts managers.
o Infrastructure to support the creation and dissemination of the arts and culture is largely
located within the centres of major cities.
PERFORMANCE DELIVERY ENVIRONMENT
Job Creation:
In the middle of the 2009/14 ToG DAC developed and approved the MGE strategy,
which locates the arts and culture sector at the centre of economic development
and job creation.
Since its adoption more than 50000 jobs have been created within the sector.
The department is working hard to achieve its target of creating 150 000 jobs.
Support will continue to be provided to cultural events, cultural precincts, arts
and culture seasons with other countries as part of MGE
Arts, culture and heritage infrastructure development will also central to job
creation agenda.
Construction of new and maintenance of existing library infrastructure legacy
Projects and other heritage infrastructure will continue to be part of
infrastructure development.
As we move into the new financial year and the new term of office there is a need
to improve statistical mapping and analysis of the contribution of arts, culture
and heritage sector to the economy
