However the 2011/12 Annual Report notes:
• Three core programmes were expanded in the areas of Product, Business and Market Support, which are supported by Rural Outreach and Communications and Sector Promotion activities. There is now a broad network of services available to help craft producers and designer makers – across the entire province – in all aspects of business management, creative development, production and marketing. In 2011/12 1300 enterprises were supported with business, market and product support, and craft producers generated R4.2 million ($0,36 m) turnover through the CCDI.
• The CDI fulfilled orders worth over R2.4 million ($0,2m), providing work opportunities for 308 enterprises. The COP17 Climate Change Conference was particularly significant for the organization as: 15,000 bags, water bottles and other gifts worth over R1,6-million ($0,14 m) were made for the conference and 266 top-end craft pieces were sourced for an exhibition worth R0,5 million ($0,043 m).
• Developed an e-Catalogue to reach specific market segments with suitable craft products. A new software programme and retailer database provides valuable information and a solid foundation to better target customers.
• Over 300 craft producers took part in eight domestic and six trade events. Their hard work resulted in sales of over R932 000 ($79469,12) and orders worth over R260 000 ($22 141,6).
• The Creative Enterprise Training Unit, supported by the Culture, Arts, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Sector Education and Training Authority (CATHSSETA), achieved the following results:
− Business and creativity workshop programmes have been integrated and the individual business assistance programme expanded. The CDI now offers business mentoring and group coaching, resulting in more strategic visioning and targeted market reach.
− Professional Group meetings have drawn together craft producers working in similar or related media – this has proved to be a great way to network and exchange ideas.
− Offered counselling and referral services to 42 enterprises, individual business assistance to 121 enterprises, with 1174 craft producers attending workshops.
