NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (NDA)

Question 1(a) and (b)

1(a) Attached please find a complete list of consultants per department, used by the National Development Agency over the past three years.

1(b) This list includes the name of the consultant, the purpose and the amount expended on the services.

Question 1 (c) and (d)

36

Projects:

Consultants are used to prepare the due diligence reports for the various projects considered for grant funding. This consultants are spread countrywide. The use of consultants is preferred over hiring of personnel as it is more cost effective given the wide range of skills necessary to consider the various projects.Included in the list were also the temporary staff employed to address short term needs while permanent staff were absent for legitimate reasons e.g. maternity leave.

Research and Development:

Consultants were commissioned to undertake specific studies and research exercises. The nature of the studies requires that various different consultants, being experts in specified fields, are commissioned to undertake the study.It is not envisaged that this function should be undertaken internally as a wide range of continually changing skills sets are required. Finance and IT:

Included in the list of consultants is the audit fees, which has inflated the costs.Once again temporary staff costs are also included under consultants. This was again to meet the operational needs due to legitimate absence of permanent staff.A large amount of the consultancy fees (e.g. Sandbox) related to Information Technology services. This was necessary as the NDA moved over to an electronic based system which required customisation and development.

Human resources:

Consultancy utilisation in this department has included recruitment costs as well as assessments undertaken in respect of prospective new recruits. The costs also reflect payroll administration costs as well as legal opinions which were sought from labour relations experts.It is not envisaged that these services would be done internally as they are of a once off nature and relate to varying skills requirements or require an impartiality that can only be obtained by utilising the services of an external third party.

Office of the CEO

The costs reflected herein include the costs of the Auditor-General (audit fees).Legal opinions necessarily sought by the organisation are also addressed under this item as are costs associated with strategic planning sessions which required the intervention of facilitators.Specific attention is drawn to the figure of R 650 000 paid in 2007/2008 which is reflected under this item but which was a legal settlement figure arising from a contractual undertaking.
