For the 2024/25 financial year, the department received a budget of R10.6 billion, a slight dip from last year’s R10.9 billion.
Minister of science, technology and innovation professor Blade Nzimande delivered his department's budget vote in Parliament yesterday.
Yesterday, Nzimande and deputy minister Nomalungelo Gina presented the budget vote of the Department of Science and Innovation , highlighting priorities for 2024/25. “Cabinet also approved a STI budget coordination framework to improve cross-governmental budget allocations for STI and enabling cooperative planning across government.”
According to Nzimande, his department is leading major innovations to promote the transition to green hydrogen as an alternative source of energy to fuel the economy and to facilitate a net-zero energy future. To ensure whole-of-government coordination and unity of purpose, the president created an inter-ministerial committee on hydrogen, led by the deputy president.
The programme will also have a special focus support for safeguarding, rebuilding, and developing Palestine’s research and innovation capacities and infrastructure, he stated. “Our challenges notwithstanding, we present this budget as our commitment to transform our national system of innovation and using science, technology, and innovation to impact the lives of our people in a transformative way.”
