DTI, CIPC launch course to address SA public service capacity needs
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), in partnership with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC), on Monday launched a capacity-building course to deal with core public service capacity needs in South Africa pertaining to regulatory agency-specific risks, governance and strategy.
The course was kicked off at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research offices, in Pretoria.
“The CIPC is expected to now perform a much broader regulatory and enforcement function where governance and risk issues are key aspects of the regulatory landscape. We appreciate the importance of this change in mandate, which is why we are rolling out this course to better equip our workforce for the successful implementation of the CIPC strategy,” Deputy Trade and Industry Minister Elizabeth Thabethe said.
The course was rolled out to 50 delegates, comprising DTI and CIPC officials, specifically those performing regulatory and enforcement functions, and would explore the operations and management of the regulatory and enforcement agencies, rather than the reform of law.
The course would be presented by Harvard University’s John F Kennedy School of Government’s Practice of Public Management Professor Malcolm Sparrow, who was in 2010 appointed by President Barack Obama to the Recovery Independent Advisory Panel to advise on protecting the integrity of the economic stimulus package.
“We are excited that his lectures will help us achieve our objectives of promoting alignment in thinking between the various regulatory agencies and capacitate the DTI agencies with core skills on regulatory risk, governance and strategy. The course will contribute significantly to the skills set and competencies required by the CIPC and other regulatory agencies and will also create a platform for better alignment and integration between the regulators,” Thabethe said in a statement.
