Operational Prospects for Implementation: A Reflection
Informed, critically engaged & science literate
public
Framework Intention
Systematise collective effort of multiple role players
Improve co-ordination
Encourage science promotion and communication
Foster better, more valuable science engagement
Improve balance in portfolio of activities
Enhance collective impact
Framework Scope
Across DST (intra- departmental)
Its entities (NRF, CSIR, HSRC, SANSA, ASSAf)
Universities, museums, science centres
Other Science Councils
Other Government departments
Private sector
International opportunities
Strategic Partners
Framework Enablers
Effective coordination – coordinating body
Adequate funding
Participation of relevant stakeholders and role players
Establishment of a monitoring and evaluation framework
Framework Coordination
National – SAASTA
Intra-departmental – across DST
Inter-departmental – clusters
Inter–governmental – continental, international
Coordination with Science and Technology Research Institutions
SAASTA Business unit of NRF DST projects (largely) High level of contract funding (13/14 approx R90M) Dual role – funder and practical implementer Maths and Science Education – strong focus Science communication and awareness increasing in recent
years Website(s), resource production, exhibits, infrastructure,

Audit –who is doing what? How? Why?
Meaningful Performance Indicators
National SURVEY instrument
Visitor studies, informal learning, attitudinal studies
Long term tracking studies
Media monitoring and analysis
Skilled M&E Practioners
Phased Approach
Phase 1
Securing stakeholder buy-in Consolidating existing systems , identification of new systems Re-alignment of existing projects Conceptualisation of new programmes. Implementing programmatic activities not adversely affected by
absence of and/or lack of adequate systems. Reconstruction of baseline data for input, output, outcome and
impact indicators.
Phased Approach
Phase 2
Implementation of all the systems developed in Phase 1.
Continuation and consolidation of programmes
Monitoring and Evaluation Framework
Phased Approach
Phase 3
Full scale system performance monitoring and project-based evaluations to establish emerging impacts and outcomes, which includes periodic international benchmarking and comparative studies.
Growing reach while concomitantly increasing efficiencies of the institutions, programmes and systems developed
