But while there is widespread international consensus on the need to develop new and improved growth and development models in this respect, little in the way of concrete policy guidance has emerged. There is a growing need for analytical frameworks and evidence-based solutions suited to this purpose. The Forum seeks to contribute to an improved understanding of how countries make use of the diverse spectrum of policy incentives and institutional mechanisms available to expand social inclusion in the process and benefits of economic growth without dampening incentives to work, save and invest. Building upon an initial discussion with World Economic Leaders at our Annual Meeting in Davos this year, this private session will be among the first in a series of regional public-private dialogues among the leading decision makers in Africa and globally aimed at tackling this challenge. During the session we will discuss the Inclusive Growth and Development Benchmarking Framework (developed by the Forum) and share some initial findings and key takeaways for the region. Participants will also be invited to share their feedback and initial reactions along the following dimensions: 1. What are the main obstacles to advancing inclusive growth in Africa? 2. What are the key policy instruments and business practices needed to deliver more inclusive outcomes from growth? 3. How can the public, private sector and civil society join forces to tackle this regional challenge? The session is highly interactive. (The Westin Cape Town, Edward/Schappen) 15:00 - 17:00 Your Industry Partners Session entitled Promoting Financial Special Guest Invited Inclusion in Africa (Financial Services Industry Partners Meeting at Africa) Tremendous opportunity exists in Africa to deliver a full range of quality, affordable financial products and services to lower-income individuals and small enterprises that are currently excluded from Africa’s formal financial systems. Many African governments have taken steps to build and implement electronic payment systems that Arrival Date and Time : Departure Date and Time : Issue date : 18/05/2015 10:30 Reuben Coulter 1 Personal Agenda for Pravin Gordhan Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs of South Africa allow them to make regular government-to-person (G2P) payments electronically. The funds being transferred are typically salaries or social benefits, which helps ensure that the right beneficiaries are paid in full and on time. However, many countries have recognized the need for additional efforts to make these electronic transfers a true stepping-stone to full financial inclusion. Moving beyond simple G2P programs to creating enabling ecosystems for full financial inclusion requires multistakeholder collaboration. How can public and private sector institutions collaborate to develop an economically sustainable model for electronic delivery of G2P payments that promotes savings and provides recipients with access to a suite of quality, affordable financial services, including credit and insurance? What will it take to enable additional electronic transactions (e.g. money transfers, purchase of basic goods and services) linked to these G2P transfers? How can accessible tools and information for financial management and capacity building also be incorporated?

  • South Africa Political Snapshot New ANC President Ramaphosa’S Mixed Hand Holds Promise for South Africa’S Future
    South Africa Political Snapshot New ANC President Ramaphosa’s mixed hand holds promise for South Africa’s future South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, yesterday (20 December) concluded its 54th National Conference at which it elected a new leadership. South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was announced the ANC’s new leader against a backdrop of fast-deteriorating investor confidence in the country. The new team will likely direct the ANC’s leadership of the country for the next five years and beyond. Mr Ramaphosa’s victory is not complete. The election results have been the closest they have been of any ANC leadership election in recent times. The results for the top six leaders of the ANC (Deputy President, National Chairperson, Secretary-General, Treasurer-General and Deputy Secretary-General) and the 80-member National Executive Committee (NEC - the highest decision-making body of the party between conferences) also represent a near 50-50 composition of the two main factions of the ANC. Jacob Zuma, Mr Ramaphosa’s predecessor, still retains the presidency of South Africa’s government (the next general election is still 18 months away). It enables Mr Zuma to state positions difficult for the new ANC leadership to find clawback on, and to leverage whatever is left of his expanded patronage network where it remains in place. A pointed reminder of this was delivered on the morning the ANC National Conference commenced, when President Zuma committed the government to provide free tertiary education for students from homes with combined incomes of below R600 000 – an commitment termed unaffordable by an expansive judicial investigation, designed to delay his removal from office and to paint him as a victim in the event it may be attempted.

    http://www.politicsweb.co.za/documents/going-off-the-rails--irr Going off the rails - IRR John Kane-Berman - IRR | 02 November 2016 John Kane-Berman on the slide towards the lawless South African state GOING OFF THE RAILS: THE SLIDE TOWARDS THE LAWLESS SOUTH AFRICAN STATE SETTING THE SCENE South Africa is widely recognised as a lawless country. It is also a country run by a government which has itself become increasingly lawless. This is so despite all the commitments to legality set out in the Constitution. Not only is the post–apartheid South Africa founded upon the principle of legality, but courts whose independence is guaranteed are vested with the power to ensure that these principles are upheld. Prosecuting authorities are enjoined to exercise their functions “without fear, favour, or prejudice”. The same duty is laid upon other institutions established by the Constitution, among them the public protector and the auditor general. Everyone is endowed with the right to “equal protection and benefit of the law”. We are all also entitled to “administrative action that is lawful, reasonable, and procedurally fair”. Unlike the old South Africa – no doubt because of it – the new Rechtsstaat was one where the rule of law would be supreme, power would be limited, and the courts would have the final say. This edifice, and these ideals, are under threat. Lawlessness on the part of the state and those who run it is on the increase. The culprits run from the president down to clerks of the court, from directors general to immigration officials, from municipal managers to prison warders, from police generals to police constables, from cabinet ministers to petty bureaucrats.

    UNREVISED HANSARD NATIONAL ASSEMBLY THURSDAY, 8 MARCH 2018 Page: 1 THURSDAY, 8 MARCH 2018 ____ PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY ____ The House met at 14:02. The Speaker took the Chair and requested members to observe a moment of silence for prayers or meditation. CONCERNS ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF MINISTERS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE (Statement by Speaker of the NA) The SPEAKER: Hon members, during questions to Cluster 1, Peace and Security, on 7 March, a number of issues arose that I believe require clarification so that all members are clear on the procedures to be followed in terms of questions to Ministers. UNREVISED HANSARD NATIONAL ASSEMBLY THURSDAY, 8 MARCH 2018 Page: 2 I firstly wish to state that I share the concerns raised by members about the availability of Ministers to answer questions in the House. Ministers may be unable to appear before the House for a particular Question Session due to either compelling official responsibilities or personal circumstances. However, the House must be properly notified of this. Rules 138(3) and 138(4) provide for a Minister to authorise his or her Deputy Minister to reply to a question directed at that Minister, or if a Minister and his or her Deputy are absent, for another Cabinet Minister to respond to the question. Rule 144(1)(b) provides that a question for oral reply stands over if the Minister to whom it is addressed is not present in the Assembly when the question is called for a reply and it is not replied to by the relevant Deputy Minister or another Cabinet member on his or her behalf.

As such, the Togolese Government considers that there are four major challenges in the medium term for the period 2013-2017 to ensure the take-off of the Togolese economy and move towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. These are the challenges of accelerating economic growth, employment and greater regional and international integration of the Togolese economy; the challenge of governance; the socio-demographic challenge; and the challenge of urban development, spatial planning and environmental protection. (2) Major Points of the SCAPE 2013-2017 The economic policy of the Government in the medium term for the period 2012-2016 focuses mainly on laying down and strengthening the foundations of the future emergence of Togo. For this, it moves towards establishing new priorities which are: • Acceleration of growth; • Employment and inclusion; • Strengthening Governance • Reduction of regional disparities and promoting grassroots development.
