Virtually the entire senior management structure at the Institute resigned during the year in review. Challenges were also encountered in the retention of South African Researchers, who left to join other Science Councils, research organizations and the private sector. A new council was appointed, on 1 January 2007 for a period of three years, by the Minister of Science and Technology, the Honourable Mosibudi Mangena.\n1.2\tStrategic Focus\nAISA has adopted a more focused approach in the delivery of its mandate. Pursuant to the recommendations of AISA’s 2004 Institutional Review, AISA will intensify its fieldwork-based research in the 2007/08 financial year. A total of 44 fieldwork-based research projects are planned for this period. These projects will include thematic programmes such as Peace and Security, Democracy and Self-Reliance, Africa and its Diaspora, and Health and Global Governance. The Areas Studies division focuses on the geographical impetus of its research, which is aimed at fostering awareness of Africa and understanding of national, regional, continental and global issues. Area Studies comprises five desks, which focus on Southern Africa and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), North Africa, West Africa, East Africa and the Horn, as well as Central Africa and the Great Lakes region.\nAISA’s record in the achievement of National System of Innovation goals is well documented. To this end, AISA has consolidated all its Human Capacity Programmes into one unit, which will be called the ‘Internship and Fellowship Programme’. This Programme will comprise the Internship Programme, Fellowship Programme, AISA Campus Lecture Series and Young Graduates Programme.\n1.3\tFinancial Resources\nAISA has relied heavily on the parliamentary grant to pursue its mandate. Although the there was an increase of 30% in AISA’s Parliamentary voted funds, it is evident that AISA should endeavour to raise additional revenue through the creation further funding outlets. In this vein, AISA plans to actively explore modalities for accessing the Department of Education’s subsidies for recognized scholarly publications. The money raised through these subsidies could be channelled to other research activities and the attendance of international conferences. A strategy will also be developed to raise money through sales of AISA publications. AISA will also endeavour to increase its activity in applied and commissioned research by responding to government tenders and soliciting donor funding for specific projects.\n1.4\tMeasurable Targets\nAISA has synchronised its core functions by aligning the targets of Research with those of support functions such as the Publications and Library and Documentation Services divisions.  We have endeavoured to address the skewedness of allocation of resources by improving the capacity of Research staff and increasing the financial allocation of the core business. Unlike the 2005/06 Business Plan, the 2007/08 Report includes measurable targets and delivery outcomes, which is a significant step from the immeasurable deliverables of previous years’ Business Plans. All targets also include concomitant financial allocations. This will serve to improve the accountability processes and make it easier to appraise Management in terms of its operational and fiduciary responsibilities.\n2.\tConcerns Raised by the Minister During the Approval of the 2006/07 AISA Business Plan\n2.1\tImproving the channels of communication with the Ministry and Department of Science and Technology\nDST officials, especially Mr. Dhesigen Naidoo and Dr Anusha Luchen, performe","cbCaijJtVLE6DMUJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijJtVLE6DMUJ","doc",925184,46,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Introduction\n## Strategic Focus\n## Financial Resources\n## Measurable Targets\n# Concerns Raised by the Minister During the Approval of the 2006/07 AISA Business Plan\n## Improving channels of communication with the Ministry and DST\n## Policy for the Appointment of AISA Employees, Including Researchers\n## The Need for Financial Systems to be put in Place\n## Signing of the Shareholder Compact\n## Submission to the National Treasury for the VAT Shortfall Amount\n## The Need for AISA to Work Closely with the HSRC to Avoid Duplication of Work","[{\"question\":\"What do the abbreviations 'A', 'C', 'I', and 'W' mean in the Employment Equity Profile table?\",\"answer\":\"‘A’ represents African; ‘C’ represents Coloured; ‘I’ represents Indian; and ‘W’ represents White.\"},{\"question\":\"Why was a new council appointed for AISA in 2007?\",\"answer\":\"The 2006/07 financial year saw major resignations in senior management, and challenges arose in retaining researchers, prompting the appointment of a new council by the Minister for a three-year period starting 1 January 2007.\"},{\"question\":\"How does AISA plan to improve accountability through measurable targets in 2007/08?\",\"answer\":\"AISA aligns research targets with support functions and pairs targets with corresponding financial allocations, strengthening accountability and enabling assessment of management’s operational and fiduciary responsibilities.\"}]","Abbreviations and Acronyms - Executive Summary | DOC"]
