[1] Assumption: As 2009/10 is a transition year, the organisation will implement a limited number of programmes applying sustainable livelihoods methodologies, such that it is able to clearly articulate its contribution to poverty eradication by 2012.

[2] Assumption: Local Area Planning (LAP) is a methodology for community-based planning which the organisation developed and implemented over a number of years. However, the LAP methodology will be revised to embrace the strategic shift to the sustainable livelihoods approach to address intergenerational poverty.

[3] Assumption: A project will be deemed initiated when a community governing structure is in place; and, the baseline study and principles and purpose of engagement are formally endorsed by targeted communities. While this process of community-based development will commence in targeted communities in each of the provinces, experience suggests that the process will evolve differently and realistically agreements can only be concluded in 3 communities.

[4] Assumption: Participation refers to participations in both governance/community-based structures and projects.

[5] Assumption: Targeting women and youth is a critical lever of change in eradicating intergenerational poverty. At the same time the focus on youth addresses one of the objectives of the National Youth Service Programme, namely, developing responsible citizens and enhancing national solidarity.

[6] Assumption: Partnerships may be operational or strategic and must seek to advance the corporate strategy, and includes cooperation agreements. Resources mobilised include financial, technical, information and other material support and it assumed that such inputs can be quantified. Excludes service provider contracts

[7] Assumption: IDT will be able to develop plausible, innovative and bankable programme proposals. Corporate, donors and government are keen to invest in sustainable development. However, leveraging resources from the private and donor sector is a relatively new field for the organisation and the organisation assumes that it will be able to leverage resources to the value of 20% of the IDT funds invested in poverty eradication/ community mandated projects.

[8] Assumption: The budget split to be obtained by 31-Mar-10 is public mandated social infrastructure: community mandated: institutional capacity building: governance+ contingency equals 65:10:10:15. Some of the institutional capacity building will also be dedicated to communities and this will be in addition to the 10% stated in the target.

[9] Assumption: Currently the organisation’s programme portfolio is largely determined by departmental requests and long-term existing relationships. Instead the organisation will proactively declare the role it will play (output and outcome indicators and targets) in poverty eradication in each province and seek endorsement/support thereof by the appropriate provincial structure. However, access to and decision-making by these structures is outside the control of the organisation hence the modest target for year-one.

[10] Assumption: Includes both public-mandated social infrastructure and social development programmes. The social infrastructure plus factor is delivered at the IDT’s cost and the IDT funds will be applied to the community-based processes and mobilisation enabling the local determination of qualitative outcomes. Social infrastructure plus will be measured by indicators like: functional SGB’s taking ownership of facilities; employment of emerging contractors and labourers etc.

[11] Assumption: Turnover includes funds dedicated to addressing Apex Programmes. For example, the Eradication of Mud Schools and Undesirable Structures Programme, (both the IDT and the Provincial /Treasury budgets to which the IDT has been appointed as the implementing agent) and the Access Facilities for the Disabled Programme.

[12] Assumption: The turnover target is a judgment call based on past trends, existing multi-year agreements and initial commitments. It is also an indication of the maximum programme value the organisation can commit to. The risk, over which the organisation has no control, is the actual release of funds from provinces.

[13] Assumption: Direct programmes refer to costs for delivery at regional level.

[14] Assumption: These impact targets are directly linked to and reflect the organisation’s contribution to the creation of job opportunities targets of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) as well as the targets of the National Youth Service programme, both of which as Apex Priority Programmes.

[15] Assumption: This target includes the Contractor Development Programme, which is an Apex priority programme. It is also aligned to and draws on the initiatives of the Contractor Development Board (CIDB).

[16] Definition: Youth refers to women and men under 35

[17] Definition: Job opportunities is defined a short term engagement for the duration and labour needs of project and programme.

[18] Assumption: This is a transformational target which will include IDT institutional capacity building to gear the organisation for the strategic shift

[19] Assumption: Indicators for the HR Plan includes the approved targets i.r.o confirmed, prioritised and budgeted positions or staff establishment plan; and prioritised training;
