Page 12: GAUTENG Department of Social Development Presentation by: MEC Nandi Mayathula-Khoza 1

HIGHLIGHTS Cont …

Theme: 10 Point Plan• Good policies and legislation in place. • Govt has made progress (e.g. active ageing, rebuilding

families, HIV & AIDS, but there are challenges like:– Lack of infrastructure for NPOs– Legislation like Children’s Act not easy to implement;– Lack of Social Workers and Psychologists in schools;– Participation of NPOs in strategic planning of government

minimal;– Not enough services rendered to Non-SA citizens;– High Social Work turn over in NPOs;

12

Page 13: GAUTENG Department of Social Development Presentation by: MEC Nandi Mayathula-Khoza 1

Highlights Cont …

Theme: Resource Mobilization• Policies & guidelines set by the Dept not NPO user friendly

(perceived as too rigid at times & not in all languages);• Funding from the Department not equitable & adequate,

especially during times of donor funding shrinking;• Lack of expertise in financial management & fundraising• NPOs not transparent about donor funding • NPOs in disadvantaged communities have limited means to

generate income & sustain programmes• Delays in funds transfer affects NPOs functioning • Salary disparity of Social Workers (NPOs & DSD)• Employees in NPOs are poorly remunerated

13

RECOMMENDATIONS• Legislative Framework

of Boards & coordinating structures in GP– Intensify & strengthen NPO capacity, incl enhancing

Recommendations cont ...• Resource Mobilisation

equity & programme funding;– Progressive increase in budget allocations (incl improving

conditions of service for professionals)– DSD to avail expert support to NPOs: M & E and admin

capacity – not to police NPOs but support them (e.g. Bookkeepers, administrator posts, etc)

– Facilitate CSI & facilitate donor funding (donor access for new, rural & poor NPOs)
