What We Do
Tshumisano’s Programme Management Unit (PMU)
The purpose of the Tshumisano Trust is to establish, manage and co-ordinate the TSP with its Technology Stations as competent service providers to SME's and thus to relieve the DST from the direct implementation management. To that end a Project Management Unit (PMU) at the trust manage the activities of the Tshumisano TSP. Its main functions are:
- Dialogue with all stakeholders to clarify goals and expectations.
- Strategic guidance and co-ordination for the achievement of the programme objectives, taking into consideration cross cutting issues e.g. Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) and gender empowerment.
- Comprehensive strategic and financial management of the TSP on behalf of the DST or any other stakeholder or donor(s) i.e. receiving grants and donations, allocation of funds to Universities of Technology, managing funds for major projects, major equipment and special initiatives and awarding respective financing to the Technology Stations upon motivated requests.
- Advocacy for the TSP concept in the University of Technology community and facilitation of a enabling environment for the commercial operation of Stations.
- Marketing and establishment of strategic partnerships and linkages as well as fund raising of the TSP with the SME community and with other relevant government support programmes as well as private sector partnerships.
- Development and facilitation of strategies for sustainability.
- Development and provision of generic tools, services and information for all Stations.
