CONTEXT/SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
•
The Social Development Sector delivers its services in an environment
marked by high levels of poverty, unemployment and inequality.
•
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 other the Departments of Basic Education, Labour, Justice, Health
and Rural development.
"Building a Caring Society. Together"
10
CONTEXT/SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
•
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.
•
Reprioritization: In some instances, the Department often defers the
implementation of some of its targets in light of new, urgent priorities, these
include the focus by the Department on Kwanda Talk in order to prepare
the ground for the roll-out of Kwanda to the new sites.

SUMMARY OF DSD PERFORMANCE
•
The Department achieved 61% of its planned targets while the remainder were
either partially achieved (29%) or not achieved at all (10%).
•
Reasons for non-achievement of the targets include for example dependence
on other institutions such as provinces and other government departments
"Building a Caring Society. Together"
50
CHALLENGES
Some of the key reasons for non-achievement of targets which were beyond
Department’s control include:
•
With regard to the establishment of Department of Social Security, Cabinet
recommended that current social security institutions be restructured in order
to improve coordination among them.
•
With regards to policy on retirement reform, Cabinet recommended that further
consultations should take place before the policy is finalised
•
The department formed a unit tasked with establishing an Inspectorate for
Social Security. However, it was hampered by lack of internal capacity
•
The department revised its approach to these project to first creating the
requisite internal capacity
"Building a Caring Society. Together"
51
CHALLENGES
• Resource Limitations :
• Provincial Older Persons’ Parliaments were not convened in some
provinces due to limited resources and logistical challenges in provinces
• Capacity constraints:
• The Department could not process all NPO applications for registration
within 60 days due to increased number (about 4000 more) of application
received as compared to the previous years
• Other challenges:
• Extensive consultation affected achievements of other targets e.g.
 The Policy on Social Service Practitioners was not approved due to
extensive consultative processes and stakeholder interest
 The finalisation of the White Paper on Families was delayed by
extended consultations
