Part A: Strategic overview
1. Situational analysis
Whilst the AgriSETA Sector Skills Plan (SSP) aims to address wide range of issues in the
agricultural sector, in essence it captures the following important realities which have a
direct impact on the process of development of such skills in the sector1;

   The global consensus on commitment to agriculture as a key driver for achieving food
    security, poverty alleviation and economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, calls for new
    strategies and approaches in Agriculture for development. This commitment will directly
    encourage development of capacity towards smallholder and emerging farming sector.
   The sectoral challenges, which include Inter Alia: Equity; Growth and Competitiveness;
    Environmental Sustainability; and Governance as identified in the Integrated Growth
    and Development Plan of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for the
    period 2011-2031 shape the process of packaging these skills in the sector.
   The pressure on AgriSETA to balance the disbursement of discretionary funds to AET,
    NQF 1 and NQF 2 learning programme, due to the fact that the Agriculture relies heavily
    on unskilled and semi-skilled workers with higher pitched learning in response to
    technological advances and the increase in the need for skilled agricultural workers;
   The required efforts of the agriculture sector to change the image of agriculture to
    attract the youth, to advocate prevalent career and business opportunities in the sector.
   The continued low success rate of land reform projects need to be factored into
    discretionary grant funding plans of the AgriSETA.

1.1.    Performance delivery environment
The need for discretionary grant funded support to deliver on the required learning
programmes in the sector outstrips the available resources of the AgriSETA. The Strategic
plan has been updated to the National Treasury framework with the following significant
changes:

       AgriSETA identified 4 programmes that will be driven to achieve the organisational
        goals aligned with the proposed DHET framework for Strategic Plans;
       Strategic outcome orientated goals were devised for the organisation

                                                                                             5
1.2.       Organisational environment
The AgriSETA structure is well balanced and is entrenched from Accounting Authority level
to the Operational structure. Stability and extensive institutional knowledge however
challenges exist to fill vacancies resulting from resignations. The AgriSETA registration that
was extended up to 2020 makes the management of talent challenging.

2. Revisions to legislative and other mandates
The following legislative mandates are noted:

      Proposal for the New National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) and Sector
       education and Training Authorities (SETAs)

The following pending court case should be noted:

The court case between Business Unity South Africa (BUSA) and the Minister of Higher
Education and Training, BUSA won the court case, currently the mandatory grants are still
pitched at 20%. Changes to the Mandatory grants can have a significant impact on the
number of employers participating in the mandatory grant process.

There have been no significant changes to AgriSETA’s mandates.

                                                                                            7

     Finance-During this MTEF this sub-programme will focus on the implementation of the new SCM guidelines
     Governance- This sub-programme will focus on the continuous development of board sub committees and structures
     *Information Technology-The management and storage of information will be prioritised through the maintenance of infrastructure
        and the continuous improvement of information systems
     Human Resources-The retention of talent and human capital will be prioritised in this MTEF in light of the new SETA landscape. The
        management and measurement of performance will also be prioritised through the implementation of a new performance
        management system.

2. Programme 2: Skills Planning
        2.1.    Purpose: To ensure that HRD information is available and to contribute to skills development planning.

 This programme aims to address the challenges resulting from the lack of institutional mechanisms, to provide credible information and an
analysis of the supply and demand for skills, thus informing the skills planning and delivery processes. It also looks at the gap in terms of the
capacity to conduct and coordinate professional research, and the dissemination of information.

The management of mandatory grants will be done through the skills planning department who is ultimately responsible for achieving the
objectives within this programme. Currently AgriSETA has approximately 21 408 registered employers, of which 5 233 pay skills development
levies. The SETA has a total of 2 394 registered SDFs (skills development facilitators) throughout the nine provinces, who are either employed
by companies or work as freelance consultants for one or more companies. Generally, the mandatory grant system and the submission of the
WSPs (workplace skills plans) and ATRs (annual training reports) by companies are working well, at a 73% pay-out rate to employers
participating in mandatory grants. However, there are some challenges that need to be addressed in order to maximise the effectiveness of
this process.

   Professional, Vocational, Occupational and Workplace Learning – Decent Work
       The Sector Skills Plan for the 2018 period identified the development of higher level skills in the Agricultural sector as critical and
       scarce, through Learnerships, Bursaries, internships this programme will provide opportunities for the development of these skills in
       the Agricultural sector. This sub programme will ensure that the following Occupations amongst others, are addressed as identified in
       the sector skills plan for 2018: Veterinarians, Agricultural scientists, Farm Managers, Agricultural produce inspectors, Agricultural
       Engineers, Industrial Machinery Mechanic, Mobile plant operators, operations managers, mixed crop and livestock farm workers,
       Research and development Managers and Agricultural consultants, implementation will be through Learnerships, skills, internships and
       bursary programmes. The development of numeracy and literacy skills will also be prioritised to improve these basic level skills for
       employees.

   Rural Development
       During this MTEF this sub-programme will continue to focus on the strengthening and support to youth and co-operative structures to
       improve food security. Through new venture creation programmes and learnerships mentorship skills capacity will be built to mentor
       new and up-coming farmers. The development extension services to farming enterprises are seen as a keen initiative to support
       farmers and ensure longer term sustainability. The development of agricultural leadership will focus on providing the new and
       emerging farmer with the required competencies to increase the knowledge base increasing competitiveness and improving the overall
       sustainability of the emerging farming sector. This programme will again in this MTEF leverage on conditional grants to broaden the
       AgriSETA’s impact in support to Rural structures.
       This sub programme will ensure that the following Occupations amongst others are addressed as identified in the sector skills plan for
       2018: Veterinarians, Agricultural scientists, Agricultural produce inspectors, Agricultural Engineers, Industrial Machinery Mechanic,
       Mobile plant operators, mixed crop and livestock farm workers, implementation will be through Learnership and skills programmes.

    4.1.      Performance and expenditure trends

This programme will continue to focus on strengthening the quality assurance function through support to the development of occupational
qualifications and the support to assessment quality partners in the implementation of new qualifications. Closer participation and
strengthening relations with Sector Skills Committees will be utilised to identify new or emerging occupations. The support to Colleges of
Agriculture will continue to ensure that the base for learning programme delivery is broadened. The recognition of prior learning (RPL)
programme will be further expanded to respond to the need of the sector.

6. Conditional grants
The AgriSETA’s levy base is relatively small in relation to the need expressed for funding of
learning interventions annually. The cross subsidization of capacity building programmes
and the collaborative approach taken by AgriSETA broadens the impact of projects. The
table below reflects the conditional grants currently active:

7. Public entities
AgriSETA recognises the importance of partnerships to achieve implementation of the Sector
strategy. Over a number of years the SETA has worked with various sector stakeholders to
implement skills development projects. Some projects are of a short term nature, but many have
developed into medium term collaborations that have organically evolved into more meaningful
longer term partnerships. This section is in two parts: the one dealing with existing partnerships,
setting out their focus and scope; the second setting out a strategy for the development of new
partnerships during the period 2015-2020.

                                                                                                      45
7.1. Current partnerships

       Department of Rural Development and Land Reform Gauteng

AgriSETA has funded emerging farmers through a budget of R400 000. These farmers were
supported by the DRDLR through inputs for production as well as farm capital infrastructure. In total
8 farmers will benefit from the programme. The project will be reviewed and success factors
evaluated to extend the project into the next financial year.

       Polokwane Local Municipality

A funding of R 400 000 was approved by AgriSETA to assist farmers to be settled on the
municipality’s farm. In total 4 farmers will benefit directly from the project. The proposed
intervention covers areas such as Governance Training, Enterprise Development and Technical
Training which focus on AgriSETA’s PIVOTAL programmes. The project will be continued based on an
evaluation of the current year project.

       Regional Land Claims Commission (KZN)

Funding of R 400 000 was approved by AgriSETA to land restitution projects as identified by the Land
Claims Commission in KZN. A total of 8(eight) land restitution projects have been identified to be
supported through mentorship programmes and capacity development programmes in governance
and general management to ensure compliance to the Communal Property Association Act. The
project will be continued based on an evaluation of the agreed deliverables.

       North-West Department of Rural Development and Land Reform

AgriSETA in partnership with North-West Department of Rural Development and Land Reform
approved a mentorship programme in the North West Province. One farming enterprise will benefit
directly from the partnership. An amount of R400 000 has been approved for this project with the
expectation to extend the project into the next financial year.

       Land Claims Commission Limpopo

AgriSETA entered into a partnership with the Land Claims Commission in Limpopo. The project will
focus on mentorship support and a budget to the value of R400 000 was approved. This support
programme will be geared towards the Gagesho farming project. This project was approved for
support by AgriSETA after it received Recapitalisation and Development funding from the Land
Claims Commission to the value of R3 000 000. One owner and six full time employees will benefit
from the project. The project after evaluation is expected to be extended based on the success of
the intervention.

                                                                                                  46
7.2. Planned Partnerships

       Youth

The National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) has as its focus to develop rural youth. In a joint
project some 470 young people have been provided access to agricultural training. This is an
important project as it aims to motivate and incentivise young people to work on the land and
thereby have a stake in their rural communities rather than gravitate to the towns. It is unclear at
this stage how successful the project has been. On the basis of a review the DRDLR and the SETA will
determine whether to take the project forward in the longer term.

       Limpopo Department of Agriculture

AgriSETA in partnership with the Limpopo Department of Agriculture will focus on the support to the
Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme (CASP), Revitalisation of Agriculture and Agro-
processing value Chain (RAAVC). This partnership is conceptualised in line with the NDP nine point
plan given context in the Operation Phakisa programme for Agriculture and Land Reform.

       Mining Development Agency and UIF

AgriSETA in partnership with the Mining Development Agency and the UIF will focus on supporting
skills development in mining communities interested in agriculture. The project will further focus of
employees that were laid off in the mining sector. The project will be driven through a co-funded
model in partnership with UIF, AgriSETA and MDA.

       Agricultural and TVET colleges

Whilst there is no formal partnership in place, there has been a strategy developed in the sector and
which informs a range of projects that need to be developed into a formal set of partnerships. The
strategy is one of building the capabilities of the 11 Agricultural Colleges to deliver occupational
qualifications to the sector. These colleges are in the process of being transferred from DAFF to
DHET. There are a number of challenges that need to be addressed including funding models for
programmes required in the sector, neglected infrastructure and equipment and the difficulty in
establishing long term plans during a transitional period. The establishment of a formal partnership
requires engagement with both the Departments (DAFF and DHET) and the SETA will initiate these
discussions. It also requires engagement with the CEOs of the colleges and their umbrella body the
Association of Principals for Agricultural Colleges (APAC).

Working with the 11 colleges does not imply a neglect of either TVET colleges or universities but
rather an acceptance that there are specialist colleges that have their own working farms and a long
tradition of developing farm managers, and that this sector resource must be valued and retained.
The SETA will work with universities to provide support to the 11 colleges and with the TVET colleges
to identify learners in agricultural programmes who can be drawn into Agricultural college
