Government's 2019-2024 Medium-Term Strategic Framework serves as the implementation plan for the second phase of the National Development Plan. The framework identifies seven priorities to guide planning by all stakeholders. These are:
Priority 1: A capable, ethical and developmental state
Priority 2: Economic transformation and job creation
Priority 3: Education, skills and health
Priority 4: Consolidating the social wage through reliable and quality basic services
Priority 5: Spatial development, human settlements and local government
Priority 6: Social cohesion and safe communities
Priority 7: A better Africa and world
The DSI has committed to priorities 2 and 3 , excluding job creation per se. Through its mandate, TIA will contribute to these priorities through the commercialisation of intellectual property from publicly funded research institutions, and support the creation of technology enterprises that will contribute to job creation with a specific emphasis on historically disadvantaged individuals and communities.
