7. Planned Policy Initiatives The Current Legal Framework  The Public Service of SA is established in terms of section 197 of the Constitution of SA of 1996  The Public Service is governed by the Public Service Act of 1994 (PSA)  DIRCO is a schedule 1 Department and is regulated by the PSA  Conditions of Service applicable to the Foreign Service (the Foreign Service Dispensation) are determined by the Min of DPSA in terms of section 3(3) (c) of the PSA 77 2. FOREIGN SERVICE BILL

8. Planned Policy Initiatives Current Reality  The Mandate of DIRCO is not legislated, nor articulated in the Constitution  Role and Responsibility of DIRCO with regard to Foreign Policy strengthened  The Role of the HOM as co-ordinator strengthened 88 FOREIGN SERVICE BILL (CONT)

9. Planned Policy Initiatives Rationale for a legal instrument  The Department :  operates in an international environment that is not taken into account by the PSA  needs to take into account different Legal systems of various countries  needs to consider cultures of the countries it operates within  is bound by international obligations, treaties and protocols  offers assistance to South Africans abroad  may purchase properties and assets abroad  conduct financial transactions abroad 99 FOREIGN SERVICE BILL (CONT)

10. Planned Policy Initiatives  has an oversight role over other Government Departments on International Relations  is the custodian on International Law and International Agreements within Government  regulates, accredits Foreign representation and their interaction with the organs of state  provides employment in Missions abroad 1010 FOREIGN SERVICE BILL (CONT)

11. Situational Analysis  Global environment characterised by major shift in global, economic and social dynamics which include:  Realignment of new economic powers  New media and social networks  New innovations  Environmental change and the importance of environmental diplomacy  Formations of new economic and political groupings challenging the established political order  Convergence of information platforms, global mass media and social networking empowers the free-flow of information and ideas which impact on governance, economic activity and mobilisation over religious and social boundaries  Empowered advocacy groups pursuing political and social change ( e.g. MENA) 1111

12. Situational Analysis (cont)  Growth of South African economy, increasing link to new economic powers  Rules and institutions of the 20th century global and economic changing system under pressure for change  Notable growth in South- South trade  Regional and preferential trading proliferating  Globalisation continues to shape the world at an accelerated pace  Incidences of inter-state conflict on the decrease whilst resource-driven competition may lead to its resurgence 1212

13. Situational Analysis (cont) Arab-Israeli conflict and increasing tensions between the West & Iran regarding its nuclear weapons programme Widening Sunni-Shia Muslim conflict in the region, notably in Bahrain, Iraq & Lebanon, resulting in major tensions between the leading Sunni and Shia powers Saudi Arabia & Iran Unsustainable levels of sovereign and private debt, global economic imbalances, climate change and resource insecurity are causing insecurity, uncertainty and unpredictability. The ongoing Eurozone public debt crisis and the expected recession there is threatening global economic stability and growth The possible graduation of SA out of AGOA remains a threat and the non- renewal of the Act in 2015 is uncertain 1313

14. Situational Analysis (cont) The US increasingly views its foreign policy through an economic prism (State of the Union Address); the US may revert to protectionist policies; increase pressure on SA to open markets similar to the benefits gained by EU countries Financial crisis putting pressure on the programme budgets of multilateral organisations, developments cooperation assistance and NGOs Major powers seek secure sustainable energy and other resources for their development, inclusive of Africa 1414

15. Situational Analysis (cont.) The SADC region is relatively stable. However a number of countries are experiencing internal challenges at various degrees. Remedies to these situations would need to go beyond peacemaking and include remedial and (re)constructive economic efforts, nation building and improved governance by affected countries themselves. Intra-SADC trade has grown by a significant 155% since the implementation of the Protocol on Trade in 2000. (SADC Secretariat 2012 doc: Framework for the SADC Customs Union). However, as a proportion of total SADC trade, intra- regional trade remains relatively low SA currently conducts its foreign policy in an uncertain global environment and a successful foreign policy is a sine qua non for achieving South Africa’s domestic priorities 1515

26. SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TRENDS INTRA-AFRICAN TRADE  Intra- Africa trade accounts for 12 % of cross border trade (MGI:2010)  Africa’s exports to the world grew faster than trade within the continent (1996-2005)  Pursue regional infrastructure programmes that will promote intra- regional trade, investment and economic development, in line with the priorities identified by AU HoS/G in the AU/NEPAD PIDA  Impact of the global Financial crisis  The impact of the global financial crisis in Africa will be minimal because of the lack of integration between Africa’s economy and the global financial markets  However, there will be a decrease in Africa’s economic growth rate due to a decline in global demand for commodities  Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) to Africa will also shrink due to the global financial crisis 2625
