To mitigate some of the CASP challenges, in July 2009, a Cabinet Lekgotla approved the establishment of an entity, the Agribusiness Development Agency (ADA), which will serve as an implementing arm of CASP on behalf of the provincial Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs and Rural Development. The ADA comprises MECs for the provincial Departments of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs and Rural Development (CASP funding on projects), Treasury (financial oversight), Economic Development and Tourism (capital requirements of the ADA) and Local Government and Traditional Affairs (linkages with municipal IDPs). The ADA is hoped to shorten the procurement process; provide linkages with the commercial sector to address sustainability; better coordination for efficient resource use and capacity building for farmers and the Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs and Rural Development. For the 2010/11 financial year, projects have been identified, consultative process in progress, and the commercial sector will play a role in implementing the projects.
