NEMISA 2011 National Electronic Media Institute of South Africa Presentation to the Minister

NEMISA Mandate The mandate of NEMISA is to position itself as a sustainable, relevant, effective, industry-led and advanced multi-media skills developer and content generator striving to apply such skills in the business/production environment both in South Africa and the Continent, as well as making NEMISA the South African Government’s electronic content development centre. NEMISA provides the much needed skills training at an advanced level for the broadcasting industry. It is accredited by MAPPPSETA and offers diploma courses, short courses and internships in three subjects, namely: Television Production, Radio Production, Graphic Design and Animation. NEMISA’s emphasis is on equipping students to be market ready in a wide range broadcasting discipline and to have the ability to work effectively in constantly changing conditions.

NEMISA Strategic Intent NEMISA’s Mandate gives life to NEMISA’s mission NEMISA’s mission is to accelerate ICT and electronic- media training, research and development for the advancement and empowerment of South Africans through harnessing strategic partnerships in a sustainable manner.

NEMISA Strategic Focus Areas 3.1 Strategic objective 1: To transform NEMISA into a Technology, Research & Development driven organization NEMISA has identified that there is insufficient focus on academically recognized and industry contributing research outputs. NEMISA is not currently harnessing and capitalizing in technology as an institutional enabler of strategy Strategic objective 2: To enhance the financial viability and institutional sustainability NEMISA is financially dependent on Government through DOC. It needs to transform itself into a self- funding, financially sound and sustainable institution of learning Strategic objective 3: To improve the organizational efficiency, security and effectiveness NEMISA has recognized significant structural, systems, process, administrative, quality assurance and financial inefficiencies and flaws in the current business model which are inhibiting and constraining its ability to deliver on its strategic mandate.

NEMISA Strategic Focus Area continues Strategic objective 4: To improve and align stakeholder and strategic partner relations both internally and externally NEMISA has acknowledged that it needs to optimally exploit the business rewards of stakeholder engagement and to establish local and international partnerships to its advantage. To this end, NEMISA has for instance concluded partnership agreements with the SABC, MDDA, MAPPPSETA, NAB, SACIA, and North West University-Mafikeng Campus. 3.5 Strategic objective 5: To expand the accessibility and reach of the NEMISA product offerings NEMISA has recognized that the target market reach and accessibility is predominantly localized in the Gauteng Province. There should be a concerted effort expand and spread its footprint and influence to other geographic locations in as far as visibility is concerned.
