How does the work of the CSIR respond to the triple challengeof poverty, inequality and unemployment?

The CSIR is one component of a range of scientific and technological interventions, and operates within a framework that recognises the inter-connected nature of the NDP, sectoral policies and other political, social, economic and scientific interventions.

Our imperative is to:• Identify some key determinants of poverty, inequality

and unemployment• Explicitly draw the link between our research work and

addressing these determining factors• Our understanding of the dimensions of poverty,

inequality and unemployment is guided by the National Planning Commission’s Diagnostic Report of 2011

Page 8: Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Science and Technology 15 October 2015

The CSIR contributes to the alleviation of poverty,

inequality and unemployment through:

1. Directed Research and Technological Innovation:

Research Impact Areas

2. Maintaining an enabling environment: Good

Governance and Financial Sustainability

3. Human Capital Development: Building and

Transforming Human Capital

How does the work of the CSIR respond to the triple challengeof poverty, inequality and unemployment?

SA’s first national map of woody cover

Challenge• No good map of South Africa’s woody

cover• This is needed to plan clearing of alien

plants, monitor carbon for climate change modelling, manage forests

Research and development• Research team used satellite-based

synthetic aperture radar (SAR)to create a national map

• Then used light-detection and ranging (LIDAR) maps to enhance the data

• Worked with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for SAR mapping

• Working on automatically updating the map when new data are received
