Objectives

The 4IRSA Partnership believes the national response to 4IR in South Africa must be coherent, so that the manifold and diverse elements of that response, executed by diverse role-players, are mutually supportive, complementary and non-duplicative. Without coherence, the response will be incomplete, and given the interconnectedness of impacts of the 4IR, it is unlikely to achieve positive sustainable outcomes. And finally, it needs to be a response, not merely a plan. The plan needs to be put into action, with progress and outcomes measured against the plan.
