4. DSA 2017 strategic approach
From a holistic perspective - DSA mandated objectives in context of the strategic direction of Milk SA
Role of DSA and its relationship with other projects of Milk SA - complementary nature of the activities;
Role of DSA and maintenance of its relationship with other institutions (government, SABS and industry stakeholders);

5. DSA 2017 project planning
Strategic approach and project plan was approved by DSA Board and Members.
17 projects – 11 statutory projects
- 6 non-statutory projects
Impact of DSA as self regulatory initiatives - diminishing government services e.g 2365 samples analysed in 2105
Restrictions in terms of resources and budget allocation
Statutory mandate of DSA – effective monitoring, communication and rendering of support services
Potential growth in non-statutory activities – milk shed audits
Optimising IT resource and infrastructure capacity ensured during 2016 – MIS
DAFF assignee - possible change in organisational structure (impartiality)
