HIGHLIGHTS REGIONAL & PROV DIALOGUES
• Total participation during Prov. Dialogues: 1 428• The dialogues were seen as being long-over-due
(highly appreciated & welcome)
Theme: Legislative Framework No legislation for people with disabilities Non-functional boards NPO office not accessible Compliance to varying Municipality by-laws Mushrooming of NPOs with same services Complicated & not coordinated forms
11
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
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
– Conclude the development of the Disability legislation;– Establish new dispensation for establishment & functioning
of Boards & coordinating structures in GP– Intensify & strengthen NPO capacity, incl enhancing
governance capacity, training on PFMA, NPO management, professional development , twinning & mentoring
– Building of relations between NPOs & GPG to be intensified (currently led by Prov. Executive Council)
– Implementation of the Financial Awards Policy & its implications to be outlined to NPOs
– Simplified guidelines incl application & reporting forms;
Recommendations cont ...• Resource Mobilisation
– Institute NPO Sector involvement in Dept budget processes– Dept to review the current funding model – incl addressing
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)
– DSD intervene in managing NPO relations with Municipalities
Recommendations cont ...
• Resource Mobilisation cont ...– Expand the benefits of EPWP to NPOs, creating job
opportunities and exit of volunteers into decent jobs– Progressively improve conditions of EPWP workers in
NPOs towards compliance to Ministerial Determination on EPWP Workers
– Formalise Institutional Mechanisms: setting up a platform for structured engagement (NPOs in GP & key Departments incl Prov. Treasury)
– DSD to have MOU’s with other Departments with clear roles and responsibilities, incl standardizing requirements for funding;
16
Recommendations cont ...
• 10 Point Plan– Strengthen infrastructure development for the sector (incl
sector as part of human settlement agenda, allocation of serviced land by municipalities, etc)
– Structured and continuous NPO engagement in defining & re-defining the sector strategy and resource appropriation
– Strengthen NPO service delivery capacity & ability to expand – incl services to foreign nationals
– Expand the application of the retention strategy to NPOs – to counter brain drain within NPOs
