foRewoRD By The chAIRpeRSon of councIlThe Africa Institute of
South Africa (AISA) is a Science Council, which conducts
socio-economic and political research in Africa. In line with
AISA’s turnaround strategy, we reviewed our vision, mission, brand
promise and values. This review process clarified AISA’s core
ideology, providing better guidance towards the Institute’s pursuit
of its mandate of knowledge production, dissemination, and training
on African Affairs. Our endeavour is to be the first point of call
on African affairs. This requires making every effort to improve
the profile and visibility of AISA.
AISA is well positioned to contribute to the development of
research products that support the National System of Innovation,
the Depart-ment of Science and Technology Grand Challenge on Social
Dynamics and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. AISA
will continue to conduct research on continental integration to
create increased awareness of developments in Africa, taking into
consideration that AISA is celebrating five decades of existence
with 17 African countries that achieved independence in 1960.
Apart from many interesting developments on a global and
continental front, June 2010 heralds the first ever FIFA World Cup
tournament to be held on the continent. Aside from uniting us as a
nation and a continent, it will create instant branding of South
Africa as a tourist destination to millions of potential visitors
and a country where big events could be hosted successfully. As
will be amply demonstrated during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, soccer
has a unique ability of unifying nations and continents. It is thus
incumbent on all nations to maintain this momentum in our quest for
sustainable development, peace and democracy, and the promotion of
tolerance for diversity. South Africa has shown in the preparations
for the FIFA World Cup that a lot can be achieved through teamwork
and focus. Hopefully the AISA team, amongst others, will have taken
these lessons to heart and effect significant progress over the
next few years.
To ensure that AISA survives the interesting challenges into the
future, proper project planning, maintaining impeccable project
records, improving the relevance and quality of research work
conducted and effective dissemination of the research outputs are a
must. This must be buoyed by a healthy team environment and the
right talent to contribute to the objectives of AISA. To this end,
Council will keep strict oversight on performance, governance
issues and audit queries to ensure that AISA complies with all
legislated requirements and that the control environment becomes
sacrosanct.
AISA’s ever-increasing network of researchers on the continent
served the institution well as it facilitated the exchange of
information and collaboration on projects. This, as well as prudent
management of resources, enabled AISA to increase internal
efficiencies through the sharing of project costs and to continue
building the Africana library holdings.
On behalf of AISA’s Council, I would also like to thank AISA
staff for their dedication and willingness to accommodate change,
PriceWater-
houseCoopers for their contributions to an improved control
environment, the Auditor-General of South Africa, National
Government, and the Department of Science and Technology for their
unwavering support.
Thank you, Obrigado, Je vous remercie, Asante, Gracias,
Shkrã,
Dr Beki Hlatshwayo

RepoRT fRoM The chIef execuTIve offIceRIntroductionThe global
socio-economic crisis that began in September 2008, which had its
genesis in the North, eventually spread across the world and its
after-effects were still being felt in 2009/2010. Millions of jobs
were lost, tax and other revenues plummeted and social cohe-sion
was unravelling in numerous countries. South Africa suffered a
recession after 17 years of continuous growth. The 6% average
annual growth across Africa for most of the past decade was
abruptly halted. To this negative scenario the debilitating impacts
of climate change, conflicts, poverty, epidemics and other factors
manifested themselves, which are reversing progress in meeting the
Millennium Development Goals and others under the African Peer
Review Mechanism. The continental integration became a constrained
agenda as many states adopted inward-oriented policies to deal with
these crises. However, during the financial year of 2009/10 there
were some improvements across Africa and recovery is becoming
stronger. This is the context in which AISA conducted its research
agenda of African continental integration, under the sub-themes of
Peace and Security, Sustainable Development, Democracy and
Governance and Science and Technol-ogy. The research was undertaken
through our staff and jointly with external researchers and
institutions. We continued to increase our networks nationally,
continentally and globally. We increased both the latitude and
depth of our coverage of issues, countries, regional eco-nomic
communities and continental bodies.
During the year the strategic planning session of council
undertook a review and refinement of our vision (‘An indispensable
African voice on African Affairs’), our mission (‘To produce
relevant research products aimed at informing sustainable political
and socioeconomic development in Africa’), our brand promise
(‘Africa’s knowledge re-source’), our logo and various other
organisational development is-sues. We are now much clearer in
defining ourselves and what we want to be and where we want to be.
Council recognised the need to have spent substantial resources on
stabilising AISA and firming up control issues. Now it was
necessary to concentrate on the core business of research. It was
in this regard that some members of the old council chose now to be
available to serve further terms. The new council began operations
in the last quarter of the year and this provided an opportunity
for its inauguration where Minister Pandor outlined the need to
improve performance, do less but outstanding work, concentrate some
of our effort on researching South African specific issues, become
more Africa-wide in our staff composition and be more visible. She
also affirmed the need to more clearly define African affairs and
studies and the need for a multi-disciplinary ap-proach in
knowledge creation. This is very important considering that the
social sciences and humanities have not always been integrated
in
the work of our shareholder department of Science and
Technology. This can only augur well for AISA and possibly mute the
debate about our location in DST. We must take proper advantage of
the policy space that has been created as we work into the future.
The efforts of council and its committees have been very valuable
in providing guidance and support to myself and the
institution.
The management team started the year with a team-building
exercise and then the whole of AISA followed suit. This improved
the morale and created a positive vibe in the organisation very
early in the year. Creating a united team was an ongoing exercise
throughout the year. We also tried to improve the inter- and
intra-divisional cooperation and collaboration.
overview of performanceWe continued in the financial year
2009/10 to build on the achieve-ments from the previous year. We
sought to plan better, improve on implementation, tighten controls,
ensure higher performance and de-velop a much more positive and
united team.
The performance targets across AISA were substantially increased
from January 2008. Of course we have the challenge that our
strate-gic plan targets over the next three years are already
outlined in the Estimates of National Expenditure, a document used
by government to plan for the Mid Term Expenditure Framework; a
planning and resource allocation tool. Nevertheless, we will have
to evaluate how to create more realistic outputs, whilst ensuring
that we have greater impact. Once we have revised targets these can
be negotiated with the Department of Science and Technology.
The Research Division committed to producing 120 high-level
outputs and achieved 115. However, we increased the scope and
breadth of issues, countries and multilateral organisations we
cov-ered. We continued to commission work and are gradually
improving the management of this process. Increased numbers of
partnerships were built in South Africa and internationally. This
allowed a growth in our networks and footprint, opened
opportunities for AISA securing commissioned work, development of
joint research projects, greater visibility, capacity building for
our staff and resource mobilisation. In-terestingly, we negotiated
and signed a memorandum of understand-ing (MoU) with the Human
Sciences Research Council, a sister sci-ence council. This is a
sign of maturity and shows that without being complacent Africa as
a field of study has space for many more!
We continued to build on the systems, processes and procedures
for creating a more efficient work environment across AISA. The
Re-search and Publications Committee (RPC) streamlined its
operations and we agreed that all research-related work would need
to be qual-ity assured by the RPC. We used commissioning to
strenghten our networks, to collaborate with other researchers and
institutions and to meet our targets.
Furthermore we utilised fellows in an innovative manner,
insisting that we joint-develop projects and they assist us in
implementing these. The projects conceptualised and implemented
included over-seeing production of the State of Africa book, North
Africa’s role in

African continental integration, evaluating the Campus Lecture
Series and benchmarking AISA with other research institutions. We
will con-tinue to improve the fellowship programme to use it to
meet some of our targets.
Our fundraising efforts led to over R1milion projects dealing
with Women and Defence Forces; transnational communities in Africa;
10th year anniversary celebrations of the South Africa–Nigeria
Bi-na-tional Commission and Standard Bank seminars on African
countries. Through these projects we developed resources
mobilisation and project management skills, partnerships, and
increased knowledge about and visibility of AISA.
Attrition of staff, insufficient planning and implementation and
pos-sibly over-ambitious targets are some of the challenges we
faced.
The publications Division met most of its targets, even after
starting the year with a backlog inherited from the previous year.
A substantial number of publications were finalised and we
maintained the quality of our publications and continued to produce
our accred-ited journal in good time.We increased attempts to sell
our publications, but our growing stock hardly moved. With South
Africa suffering its first recession in 17 years and high rates of
unemployment and poverty, buying books was not a priority.
The library and Documentation Services expanded our li-brary
holdings to almost 100 000 publications. Furthermore, our GIS and
Cartography Units assisted researchers to turn data into maps,
collected and processed data; developed a geo-portal and provided
products and services that we sold. AISA also commenced the
digiti-sation of some of its documents. This is going to increase
the global access to our holdings.
We grew the number of institutions we exchanged documents with.
This is one way of increasing the scope of our holdings, while also
reducing the inventory that we have. LDS was involved in capacity
building in South Africa through our Campus Lecture Series,
sector-specific seminars, participation in conferences and
exhibitions and in the schools outreach programme. Internationally
the division partici-pated in conferences in Africa and Europe.
This division led our records management project and we are
learn-ing a lot in the process.
The outreach and International liaison two-person team was
overstretched but they hosted numerous events, assisted in the
de-velopment and implementation of memoranda of understanding with
local and global partners and arranged media interactions for
AISA
staff. We sought to improve the quality of our events by having
plan-ning committees and evaluation mechanisms.
We invested substantial efforts in networking locally with
various stakeholders, whilst internationally this included partners
in Africa, Asia and Europe. Meanwhile we hosted visitors from
across the world. We signed and implemented memoranda of
understanding (MoUs) with both local and international
partners.
Our media exposure was valued at about R900 000.00, which is
free publicity that we procured. We will continue to build our
media re-lations and ensure that we present the public with
knowledge and information on African affairs. The wide array of
media that we ap-peared in belies the argument that AISA is not
visible; but there is room for improvement, especially in the print
media and radio.
The human Resources Division continued the process of
im-provement of the conditions of service by moving the few
employ-ees on basic salary plus to the Total Cost to Company
package. This makes it easier to manage one system and allows
employees greater freedom in structuring their benefits. Grading of
posts and notches was introduced and for the first time the
performance bonus system was implemented. Much as we have improved
remuneration, we are a small institute and cannot totally match the
market. We lost some staff who found greener pastures elsewhere. We
also tried to get the organisation better prepared for the era when
the performance information is audited starting from the next
financial year.
During the year some of the staff who left us had reached
retire-ment age and two had been with AISA for more than 30 years
each. We have conducted interviews with them for the 50th year
anniver-sary of AISA and they provided us with interesting
insights. Of the researchers we lost, one had reached retirement
age, another was past retirement age and on contract and went for
an international position.
Another returned home. All of them were non-South African and
their loss robbed us of our Pan-African character.
We will need to explore extra commissioning of work, seeking
part-nerships with other institutions to increase our publications
and cov-erage.
We have benefited from resolving recognition and other issues
with the appropriate SETA. This meant receiving a R171 000 refund
for implementing our workplace skills plan. What we must improve on
is ensuring better skills-gap analysis, project managing the
training cycle and effective utilisation of the skills and
knowledge obtained.

We outsourced various human resource functions to a company,
which required paying a monthly fee. They deal with matters as we
present them, which is very cost effective. The only challenge is
that internal capacity is not necessarily developed, which can be a
disad-vantage where the Union and staff have become more assertive.
We will work with our service provider on these issues, including
educat-ing staff as well on their responsibilities.
Having developed numerous policies, the year was spent
implement-ing these and noting gaps and areas for improvement.
These would form the basis for revising our policies, which we
submitted through the relevant committees for consideration and
approval eventually by council.
A lot of effort was spent on controls and administration,
meaning insufficient concentration on the core business of
research. corporate Affairs continued to perform a secretariat
service for Council and its committees; collating inputs for
developing the stra-tegic and business plans; monitoring
performance and reporting to stakeholders and shareholder. The new
government which took office in May 2009 made service delivery and
monitoring and evaluation of performance priorities. Part of this
process requires regular report-ing, with an emphasis on both
quantitative and qualitative indicators. Staff have been made aware
of the importance of the commitments made in the shareholders
compact and the requirements of various finance and labour
legislation. We have put systems in place and will now concentrate
on capturing performance and other information much more
regularly.
The finance Division streamlined the process of budgeting and
creating cost centres across each division. This meant that
manag-ers were better able to determine their resources and monitor
ex-penditure trends. Furthermore, the division assisted with
monitoring implementation of the audit recovery plan and risk
register, and led in reporting and servicing the Audit and Human
Resources and Finance committees.
We finalised a five-year improved lease with our landlord which
would save AISA resources and also committed the landlord to
un-dertaking an upgrade to the building. We ensured that we had
service level agreements with service providers, even though the
auditors discovered gaps in our system. There have been vast
improvements in our supply chain management and AISA is getting
better value for its resources in this area.
Again, despite repeated requests during the year, through DST to
Treasury, we only received permission to utilise our rollover funds
in
February 2010. However, since we had undertaken proper planning,
the use of the funds on various projects was smooth. After many
years of having substantial rollover funds, these have virtually
disap-peared.
There was improved knowledge about the need to adhere to control
measures, supply-chain procedures and policies and an appreciation
of audit exercises. Nevertheless, the high cost of and insufficient
returns on investment from outsourcing internal audit eventually
necessitated the need to in-source this function starting in the
new financial year. This has required orienting the organisation to
this change.
Focused implementation of the audit recovery plan and being
guided by a risk register allowed us to concentrate on improving
the control environment, even though there are some repeat findings
in our audit reports. The efforts invested in improving the control
environment and resource management are paying off and we will seek
to clear out the existing negative findings. We need to educate
staff on the new areas that audits in future will cover, especially
performance manage-ment, which can easily lead us to adverse
opinions.
conclusionThe management team continued to provide leadership in
strength-ening AISA whilst seeking to meet the objectives of our
strategic and business plan. This involved building the team,
developing capacity of staff, improving the work environment,
securing extra resources and monitoring and evaluating performance.
Externally we had to manage relations with stakeholders, which
included Council, the Department and Ministry of Science and
Technology, Parliament, the Auditor-Gen-eral South Africa and the
general public. We will utilise the goodwill built over the years
to secure more support and resources for AISA.
AISA celebrates five decades of existence which has had its ups
and downs. We must learn from this experience in order to better
sur-vive the next 50 years, being stronger, more relevant and
contributing to a united and developed Africa. Our vision of being
‘an indispen-sable voice on Africa affairs’ and our mission of
producing ‘relevant research products aimed at informing
sustainable political and socio-economic development in Africa’
plus our brand promise of being ‘Africa’s knowledge resource’ must
be made living realities and be our road signs guiding us along
this journey. Finally, we will continue to live and cherish our
values of Participation, Responsibility, Integrity, Development and
Excellence (PRIDE).
AISA’s achievements were a collective effort and we extend a
warm thank you to the staff, Council and DST for the support and
assist-ance during the year.

IntroductionIn the financial year 2009–2010, the research
division at AISA contin-ued to undertake research guided by its
three-year research agenda that is defined within the rubric of
African continental integration (2008–2011). At this point of the
research cycle, we have generated a large body of research on
various aspects of continental integra-tion. It is our hope that
the knowledge generated adds value beyond academia, and informs and
guides policy direction and implementa-tion processes that forge
integration in the various key aspects of the continent’s
political, social, economic and development agenda. To augment
research produced internally, the division commissioned a range of
journal articles, book chapters and policy briefs on various
aspects of continental integration.
During the year under review the division also witnessed an
expo-nential growth in activities relating to the transfer of
skills to various stakeholders, both internally and externally.
Within AISA, the intern-ship programme was strengthened by a
growing partnership with the National Research Foundatio (NRF). We
responded to a number of requests from government and private
stakeholders at national and international levels, to transfer
knowledge, skills and build capacity in various aspects of African
affairs. Significant among the burgeon-ing partnerships established
during the year was with the Standard Bank Group, in which AISA is
contracted to generate research to in-form the development of
service products for migratory populations across the continent.
These activities have significantly improved the status of the
Institute, strengthened our networks and added value to the
stakeholders with and for whom we work.
The division continued to grow its networks through attendance
and presentation of papers at national and international
conferences. Among the highlights of these activities were the
representation of AISA at the International World Social Science
Symposium in Bergen, Norway in May 2009, and the mounting of an
AISA panel at the 3rd Eu-ropean Conference on African Studies
(ECAS), hosted by the Africa-Europe Group of Inter-disciplinary
Studies (AEGIS), of which AISA is the only non-European member, in
Leipzig, Germany in June 2009.
In recognition of the need to protect AISA research and related
out-puts, the division led the process in forging partnership with
one of the leading Intellectual Property Rights law firms, Adams
and Adams in developing the institution’s policy on intellectual
property right. Besides ensuring compliance with national
legislation, this policy is well placed to protect AISA from any
agencies that may wish to claim its diverse products.
Operationally, the division has come a long way in developing
and im-plementing research systems that have streamlined the
management
of research processes and related activities. A range of
operating pro-cedures have been developed, in particular, the
research guidelines, project matrix documents and terms of
reference for the Research and Publications Committee, AISA’s
premier quality assurance mech-anism. These have been grounded by
the organisation’s strategic ses-sion that clarified the
institute’s vision: to become an indispensable voice on African
affairs, as well as its brand promise and objectives. Follow-ing on
the strategic session, the division held its research retreat in
November 2009, in which it reviewed progress made in the pursuit of
the research agenda, and aligned its anticipated work for financial
year 2010–2011 to the DST human and social dynamics grand
chal-lenge and the national development priorities.
Summary of Research financial year 2009–2010In pursuit of the
AISA mandate in terms of knowledge production, the division’s work
was geared towards achieving and supporting the realisation of six
strategic objectives, presented in the Business Plan 2009–2010, as
follows: a) Implementing the AISA Research Policy and Research
Agenda on
Continental Integrationb) Promoting knowledge and understanding
of African Affairs
through leading experts in the Social Sciences, Humanities,
Natu-ral Sciences and Technology
c) Increasing the awareness of AISA’s profiled) Increasing
AISA’s revenuee) Positioning AISA as a platform for public debate
and specialised
discourse on African Affairs, and f) Broadening research
capacity building and training across Africa.
The targeted research output expected in the Business Plan was
120 research outputs, inclusive of journal articles, policy briefs,
chapters in books, occasional papers and monographs. In addition,
each research-er was expected to attend at least one international
conference, one national conference and deliver a seminar at AISA
on the subject of their research area/topic.
While the division commenced the year without a full research
com-pliment, it suffered further attrition during the year dropping
the number of researchers from 13 to 7 at the end of the financial
year. In spite of this attrition, the division attained a total of
115 outputs and a meteoric expansion of its capacity-building
activities in response to a growing demand from various
stakeholders, as well as the intense networking that took place
with key stakeholders.

work was derived from the AISA research agenda and focused
fur-ther by the unit niche documents that elaborate the specific
project focus. The scope of work also discussed in various research
fora, in-cluding the research retreat and all proposals were
deliberated on by the Research and Publications Committee (RPC). In
all, the AISA RPC considered a total of 20 proposals for fieldwork,
research related ac-tivities, capacity building activities and
attendance to, and networking at, international conferences.

InTRoDucTIonA study by the Academy of Science of South Africa
(ASSAf) titled ‘Scholarly books: their production, use and
evaluation in South Africa today’ (2009) posits that Africa’s
contribution to world book output is in the region of two per cent,
which means that African publish-ing is still miniscule compared to
its European or American coun-terparts. Publishing on the African
continent remains predominantly educational because of government
spending. Trade / general book publishing is small due to
illiteracy levels and lack of disposable in-comes, amongst a
plethora of impediments, while scholarly publishing remains the
flotsam and getsam of the publising industry.
Therefore through our scholarly publishing programme AISA aims
to contribute to research on African Affairs and thereby help in a
small way in alleviating the African book famine, especially where
scholarly publishing is concerned. The Publications Division at the
Africa Institute of South Africa pub-lishes books, monographs,
policy briefs, occasional papers, as well as an International
Bibliography of Social Sciences (IBSS) listed and ac-credited
journal Africa Insight.
Although the majority of what the division publishes is
internally generated, it also does publish commissioned and
unsolicited journal articles, books, occasional papers, policy
briefs and monographs from other researchers from various South
African and African universities and from the Diaspora.
In the reporting year 2009/10 the Division published the
following titles:
