HRD STRATEGY FOR SA (HRDSSA)
The importance of HRD demands a response that has a sense of urgency. It
demands a comprehensive and determined response from Government.
However, the scope and importance of the HRD project extends beyond
Government:
• It requires collective will and purposeful action from all stakeholders in
society
• It requires the determination, commitment and accountability of individuals
to invest time and effort in their own development
• It requires the commitment of all enterprises and organisations to invest
time and resources in HRD toward the public good
It is only through concerted efforts in HRD in the country as a whole that we
can create suitable foundations for institutional and corporate missions. The
urgency of the challenges and priorities, and the importance of the outcomes
we seek to achieve, obliges us as South Africans to forge a social compact
which will promote demand-driven HRD in the country.”(HRDSSA)

RATIONALE FOR EST. OF COUNCILS IN
THE PGDP
• According to the PGDP the intention of creating these
Councils is to entrench the shared ownership of the
PGDS and PGDP
• It sends a signal to the people and stakeholders in the
Province that the promotion of growth and
development in the Province is not the prerogative of
Government and Government Structures,
• It is a shared responsibility amongst the key social
partners and formations and interest groups in society
that are willing and able to participate in the
implementation process.
6
RATIONALE FOR EST. OF COUNCILS IN
THE PGDP continued
• the councils be structured and managed in a manner
that will allow and encourage stakeholders to
participate in the planning, implementation and
monitoring of the interventions in the PGDP and
interventions that may be added in the future.
• Each council should have representation from each of
the social partners – Government, business, labour and
community sector.
• Other interest or stakeholder groups should be invited
to participate in the councils based on criteria
formulated by the Provincial Planning Commission.
