6. CONTEXT/SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS "Building a Caring Society. Together" The Social Development Sector delivers its services in an environment marked by high levels of poverty, unemployment and inequality. Some recent policy developments • The social assistance programme remains government’s single most significant poverty alleviation programme • Commitments to Universalise the Old Age Grant by 2016 were made by both Ministers of Social Development and Finance. To this date the Consolidated Comprehensive Social Security Reform proposals have been completed, that begins to give expression to the right to social security entrenched in our Constitution. • Internationally, the grant has been recognised by the World Bank to be amongst the best unconditional transfers in the world. In their recent report, The State of Social Safety Nets 2014, the World Bank ranks the CSG amongst the top five programmes across the world in terms of absolute number coverage as well as percentage of the population coverage. The CSG was ranked the largest social safety net in the continent 6

7. CONTEXT/SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS "Building a Caring Society. Together" • Project Mikondzo: Is a collective sector-wide service delivery improvement initiative that is targeting the most deprived and rural poor municipalities, 23 deprived municipalities and 1300 wards in the country. Through this project DSD has been able to: • Identify service delivery gaps within local level as well as between policy formulation & implementation • Increased DSD foot print and visibility in communities. • Increased our understanding of the service delivery challenges and backlogs through direct interaction with local stakeholders e.g. ward councillors, ward committees, Civil Society Organisations, women’s groups, traditional leaders, FBOs, etc. • These have assisted DSD to draft a citizen oriented Service Delivery Improvement Plan 7

8. CONTEXT/SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS "Building a Caring Society. Together" Although the Department is largely responsible for policy formulation, it also renders some of its services directly to the public, e.g. Registration of NPOs The Department works with other institutions within and outside government in the execution of its mandate: Critical partners include amongst others the Departments of Basic Education, Labour, Justice, Health and Rural development. Areas of collaboration include critical projects on issues affecting Children, HIV & AIDS, Older Persons, Victim Empowerment, Youth, Social Security. Given the collaborative and interdependent nature of some of the department’s work, it can only meet some of its targets if the other institutions deliver on their commitments as well . – This is a government-wide integration challenge. 8

9. Programme Performance and Expenditure

10. Standard Reporting Format and Rating System "Building a Caring Society. Together" • For the quarterly report, and for ease of analysis an additional colour coded column, (green, amber and red), is used to determine progress towards meeting pre-determined targets and objectives. On course – no major action needed. Moderate risk that some problems exist and as a result the target will not be achieved in the planned time frames- remedial action is needed to avoid this. Certainty that the target will not be achieved or was not achieved in the planned timeframes- major remedial action and urgent intervention is required 10
