3. Situational Analysis
NYDA Board of Directors appointed on 5th May 2017 by Hon. President J Zuma and a formal handover has been performed by the Transitional Accounting Authority.
The Board of Directors has undergone an induction programme as well as a strategy session to craft the strategy for their term of office.
This inclusive exercise together with the Board, was intended to facilitate an inside-out and outside-in analysis of the nexus of forces confronting the youth and the NYDA Annual Performance Plan has been amended and changes included in the presentation today.
The Agency successfully hosted the Youth Month programme culminating in the recognition event of June hosted in Ventersdorp in the North West province.
The Auditor General of South Africa issued the final NYDA audit report for the Agency on 31 July 2017 which would reflect on two major items:
The Agency has sustained its clean audit opinion for the third successive financial year.
The Agency has for the first time achieved 100% of all Key Performance Indicators for the financial year.
On the whole, the strategic focus of the new Board and the management team to take the organisation to new heights and ‘break new ground’ is positive and will require greater institutional focus, discipline and passion for the cause of young people in South Africa.
