The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Productivity SA, Mr Mothunye Mothiba will address delegates at the Productivity Summit hosted in Zimbabwe by the Zimbabwe National Productivity Institute on 29 June 2022. The Productivity SA CEO’s address will be on “The National Productivity Organisation’s role in Salvaging Distressed Companies and Saving Jobs”.
The summit will focus on raising productivity awareness among various stakeholders within the Zimbabwean society and is also expected to contribute to an improved understanding of role of productivity in the socio-economic development of the country.
Mr Mothiba, who will attend the event on behalf of Productivity SA in its capacity as the Secretariat of the Pan African Productivity Association (PAPA) will join various experts from the SADC region, who are members of the PAPA and Asian countries to tap on the experiences of the countries under the Asian Productivity Organisation (APO). PAPA is an African organisation tasked with carrying out the objective to provide a forum for promoting and sharing ideas and experiences on strategies, techniques and practices for productivity enhancement, accelerated economic growth and social development in Africa.
Productivity SA is South African government entity of the Department of Employment and Labour (DEL) established under Section 31 of the Employment Services Act, No. 4, with a mandate of promoting employment growth and productivity thereby contributing to South Africa’s socio-economic development and competitiveness. The entity provides productivity and competitiveness improvement solutions to enhance the productivity and operational efficiency of enterprises throughout the business lifecycle to accelerate the creation of wealth and decent work.
“This summit is important taking into consideration the fact that African Heads of State undertook and adopted various initiatives towards growth and sustainable development on the African continent” said Mothiba. “The initiatives include amongst others, the Lagos Plan of Action (1980), Africa’s Priority Programme for Economic Recovery (1986-1990), the African Alternative Framework to Structural Adjustment Programme (1989) and recently the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063, which seeks to optimise the use of Africa’s resources for the benefit of the Continent’s people in order to achieve inclusive growth and sustainable development” continued Mothiba.
Mr Mothiba says the summit will strengthen relations between PAPA members and paves way for new membership. The summit also takes place as arrangements for the PAPA General Assembly, scheduled to be held in South Africa in two weeks’ time on 11 -12 July 2022 are at a very advanced stage.
