3. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS • According to the National Development Plan: Vision 2030, poverty is still pervasive in South Africa and not sufficient progress has been made in reducing inequality. • New focus areas informed by a need to make a contribution to the 2030 Vision, and these are: • Early Childhood Development • Food Security • Income Generation (Programmes and Projects) • Capacity Building

4. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS CONT’D Early Childhood Development • Addressing the legacy of apartheid education policies • ECD recognised as one of the tools of breaking intergenerational cycle of poverty in South Africa – 43% of children under five (in SA) are exposed to an ECD programme at home, a centre or elsewhere and there are disparities across provinces. • The National Development Plan (2011:274), released by the National Planning Commission indicated that “research shows (that) well planned and targeted early childhood development initiatives (can) be a cost effective way of ensuring all children have a childhood that is free of factors that impede their physical and cognitive development.

5. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS CONT’D Food Security • The NDA is aware of the social, economic, political and cultural dimensions of food security at both global and national levels. • The NDA agrees with the UN common food security definition: “all people at all times having both physical and economic access to the basic food they need”. • 2007 General Household Survey indicated that 10,6% and 12,2% of adults and children respectively were sometimes or always hungry. • Food insecurity results from, amongst others: climate change, urban development, migration, population growth and oil price shifts that are interconnected and rarely confined by borders. • Agricultural sector has been battling with high production costs, shrinking profit margins and soaring food prices, thereby exposing the fragility of the national food system and its vulnerability to shocks.

6.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS CONT’D Capacity Building • The NDA acknowledges the potentially significant role that the CSOs can play in strengthening community building and cohesion for development action. • The NDA believes that it is only through grass roots capability, competencies and collective action that a common goal of skills and sustainable development can be achieved. • CSOs are well positioned to drive and complement the government-wide programme of “massifying” community driven initiatives that create jobs in the second economy • The multi-year programme is targeted at enabling CSOs to access and use resources towards self reliance. • The NDA will also prioritise the strengthening of NGO networks to enable them to support government-wide programmes of improving service delivery in poor communities and providing a platform for policy dialogue with government on poverty eradication.
