ANALYSIS OF ASSESSMENT
The assessment of the three pillars of the “triple bottom line” has shown the following:
Environmental assessment: the Eastern Cape Parks Board has as its mandate biodiversity management, yet the environmental assessment shows that the rating as used has produced a total of 18 out of a possible 54 giving the organisation a rating of 33,33%. For an organisation that has the environment as its core business, this score is poor and would indicate that the organisation needs to look at the areas where the rating was zero or one and improve its monitoring and achievement of targets.
Economic assessment: the Eastern Cape Parks Board has a need to realise income from its activities, its grant from the Provincial Government is inadequate to meet its operational needs and it therefore needs to generate additional income from activities in order to meet its needs. The assessment of the economic bottom line has realised a score of 20 out of a possible 45 giving the organisation a rating of 44, 44 %.
Social assessment: the Eastern Cape Parks Board has a demonstrated policy and procedure in place to address the social issues through its People and Parks Programme. This programme is aimed at involving local communities in the operations of the protected areas and for communities to derive an economic benefit from the protected areas. On this assessment, the organisation has scored 31 out of a possible 54 giving it a 57, 4% rating which is the best rating of the three pillars.
The overall rating for the Eastern Cape Parks Board is therefore 45% which indicated that there is still work to be done in achieving the principals and mandate that the organisation has to report on.
CONCLUSIONS
The Agency has a number of challenges to overcome in order to meet the requirements of a sustainable organisation. The Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency is reliant on a grant that is provided by the Provincial Government through the Department of Economic Development and Environmental Affairs and is based on a five year strategic plan and operational plan. The funding that is received has proven to be inadequate for the Agency to meet its stated objectives and mandate. The protected areas are underfunded and a legacy of poor infrastructure has been inherited from the previous departments. This has placed major
