Director-General’s foreword

I am pleased to present the Annual Performance Plan (APP) for the Department of Social Development (DSD) for the 2018-2019 financial year. This APP demonstrates the department’s commitment and efforts to implement policies and initiatives that contribute towards accelerating access to a comprehensive and responsive social protection system for all, as stipulated by Government’s National Development Plan (NDP) Vision 2030 and Outcome 13.

The NDP was developed after a thorough reflection on the grinding and persistent poverty, inequality and unemployment which confront a number of people in South Africa, especially our youth. According to the plan, social protection is a critical component of creating social solidarity and ensuring a basic standard of living.

With social protection at the very heart of it, the key objectives of the DSD’s Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) for 2014-2019, are thus focused on the following:

(i) Improving the welfare sector through policy and legislative reform;

(ii) Making investments to increase access to quality early childhood development services;

(iii) Deepening social assistance and social security;

According to the plan, social protection is a critical component of creating social solidarity and ensuring a basic standard of living.

Ms Nelisiwe Vilakazi

(iv) Facilitating food and nutrition initiatives to ensure that every hungry household is supported; and;

(v) Strengthening coordination of development efforts within the sector for better outcomes for our citizens.

For us at the DSD, our work is about so much more than fulfilling a mandate though, as it forms part of the legacy we will leave behind. As such, we are dedicated to collaborate with our partners in government, civil society, the private sector and the donor community, to not only help transform legislation, but to also ensure that we design development interventions for the sustainable advancement of our citizens and our country as a whole.

Essentially, the DSD leverages its legislation, policies and service delivery to build a self-reliant, caring and equal society that is non-racial, non-sexist and non-discriminatory. We would like to call on all our stakeholders and partners to join hands with us, to accomplish exactly that.

..............................................................................Ms Nelisiwe Vilakazi Acting Director-General

1. VISION, MISSION, VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

1.1. Vision

A caring and self-reliant society.

1.2. Mission

To transform our society by building conscious and capable citizens through the provision of comprehensive, integrated and sustainable social development services.

1.3. Values

· Human dignity is a fundamental human right that must be protected in terms of the Constitution of South Africa and facilitates freedom, justice and peace.

· Respect is showing regard for one another and the people we serve and is a fundamental value for the realisation of development goals.

· Integrity is ensuring that we are consistent with our values, principles, actions, and measures, thereby generating trustworthiness amongst ourselves and with our stakeholders.

· Accountability refers to our obligation to account for our activities, accept responsibility for them, and to disclose the results in a transparent manner.

· Equality and equity- we seek to ensure equal access to services, participation of citizens in the decisions that affect their lives and the pursuit of equity imperatives where imbalances exist.

1.4. Principles

We seek to embody the Batho Pele Principles in our efforts to ensure that our service provision is done in humane ways and results in positive and sustainable outcomes for the citizens of South Africa.

· Consultation: people should be consulted about the level and quality of services they receive, and wherever possible, be given a choice.

· Service standards: people should be told what level and quality of services they will receive.

· Access: all citizens should have equal access to the services to which they are entitled.

· Courtesy: all people should be treated with courtesy and consideration.

· Information: people should be given full, accurate information about the services they receive.

· Openness and transparency: about how the department is run, how much it costs, and who is in charge.

· Redress: if a promised standard of service is not delivered, people should be offered an apology, an explanation and a speedy remedy. When complaints are made, people should receive a sympathetic, positive response.

· Value for money: public services should be provided economically and efficiently.

2. UPDATED SITUATION ANALYSIS

2.1. Performance delivery environment

South Africa has an estimated population of 56.52 million, of whom a great percentage are youth. This has notable implications for the services that government is expected to provide, especially considering that there are more than 30.4 million South Africans who are living in poverty. There are an estimated 90,000 children of whom 50,000 are in households that are headed by children or youth. In most cases, members of these child-headed households are poor (about 43.5% of children are living below the median income per capita1) and their living arrangements put them in jeopardy as they are forced to cope without parental care, or the financial and emotional support that are required for their optimal development.

Poverty in South Africa furthermore affects more women than men, as statistics show that about 41.7% of our female population live below lower-bound poverty lines, compared to 38.2% of their male counterparts. These communities, are at a higher risk of experiencing food insecurity. latest research shows that 7.4 million people reported experiencing hunger in 2016 and a another study indicates that 12.3 million people reported they do not have adequate access to food, with children being the most affected by the issue.

Noting higher rates of poverty in the country, government has institutionalised a comprehensive social protection system. This includes unconditional cash transfers, most of which are aimed at supporting poor individuals from vulnerable demographic groups such as children, older persons and persons with disabilities. The national disability prevalence rate is 7.5% and there is a disability grant of R1525 per month that persons with disability may apply for.

The predominant portion of our social grants are however allocated to child support grants (CSGs) which benefits 11.9 million poor children and old persons grants (OPGs) that benefit 3.2 million people who are over 60 years of age. In addition, there are children who

1 Statssa (2017) Poverty trends in South Africa

benefit from the foster care grants (FCGs), which has grown significantly over the past decade, mainly due to the HIV and AIDS pandemic in the country that has left a multitude of children orphaned.

Poverty, inequality, stigmatisation and discrimination have further been marked as key social drivers of the HIV and AIDS pandemic and these factors hinder access to social services that would otherwise improve the standard of living of these communities. Concomitantly, these socio-economic challenges also lead to other social ills in, such as substance abuse, unemployment and violence against women.

The group that is the most affected by this, is our youth. Over and above these issues in the aforementioned, school drop-outs, incarcerations and political apathy are also rife among this age group, combined with high HIV and AIDS incidence and prevalence.

One of the programmes that was initiated to alleviate these high levels of the poverty, inequality and unemployment, is the Early Childhood Development (ECD) Programme, which specifically aims to ensure a deliberate and coordinated effort to help improve our children’s chances of creating a better life for themselves.

ECD statistics indicate that the first 1000 days (from conception), are the most important in a child’s development. Overall, 83% of children aged from three to five years old that form part of the richest 20% of our households, are accessing pre-school programmes, compared to only 58% of the children of the same age group, who form part of the poorest 20% of our households.

Ultimately, the DSD is at the very centre of this fight against poverty, unemployment and inequality and the work of the department serves to mitigate the negative impact of these social issues on future generations of this country. To this end, the DSD is facilitating and promoting the development of evidence-based policies that take all the above mentioned social ills into consideration. This will ensure that the plans and programmes of the department are strategically targeted and underpinned by solid evidence, which will improve our chances of successful implementation.

2.2. Organisational environment

National Treasury reduced programme budgets and introduced cost-containment measures due to the current economic climate of the country. As a result, several vacant posts in the DSD could not be filled. This will in turn have a negative impact on the department’s

capacity to implement policies, reduce poverty and create employment opportunities in our country at the desired rate. To effectively address the socio-economic challenges will therefore demand innovative methods to optimise all available resources and enhance cooperation amongst all the relevant stakeholders.

To counteract the continued reduced budget for remuneration, the department developed a new organisational structure, which is adapted as necessary, on an ongoing basis. Part of the process is to continuously review the department’s changing mandate, budget restrictions and organisational requirements, to align resources accordingly and to manage and prioritise the most critical posts to ensure that the department’s strategic objectives are met.

Among other, this report provides feedback on the department’s alignment to the new requirements of the Public Service Regulations, such as ethics and integrity management, as well as the work environment and culture. Given the reduction in the remuneration budget however, strong emphasis is placed on getting the basics right, for optimal service delivery with minimal resources.

3. REVISIONS TO LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER MANDATES

The review of the White Paper for Social Welfare was concluded and the process for the development of a new White Paper commenced. This process will inform the development and enactment of a Social Development Act which will provide measures and a uniform system for the promotion and provision of social development services across all sectors.

The department is also facilitating amendments to the Non-Profit Organisations (NPO) Act, 1997 (Act 71 of 1997). The amendments to the NPO Act aspire to promote transparency and accountability within the NPO sector, without placing onerous requirements on organisations.

The current ‘one-size fits all’ approach is inappropriate for the diverse nature of the South African NPO sector. A risk-based approach that manages the compliance requirements for organisations without compromising the required standards of governance for NPOs, will be more appropriate. There is furthermore a need to strike a balance between the mandatory regulatory provisions and the self-regulation requirements within the NPO sector on the one hand, while preserving the soundness and integrity of the NPO sector, on the other.

4.2 Relating expenditure trends to strategic outcome-oriented goals

The spending focus over the medium term will continue to be on providing social assistance grants to the elderly, war veterans, people with disabilities and children, through the Social Assistance Programme. These payments constitute 94% of the department’s budget allocation over the medium term. The grants aim to boost the income of poor households, which are hit the hardest by the unemployment, poverty and inequality that persists in the South African society. It is expected that by the end of 2020/21, the department will have paid out social grants to 18.1 million beneficiaries.

It is not expected that this social assistance grant expenditure will increase over the medium term, as more affected groups are covered and ineligible beneficiaries are constantly removed from the system. The removal of ineligible beneficiaries for example resulted in savings of R1 billion in the 2015/16 financial year. Based on these figures, cabinet approved a budget reduction of R500 million in social assistance grants, for the 2018/2019 financial year.

Government prioritised the ECD in its Vision 30 that forms part of the NDP. To ensure that this programme becomes a key national priority and demonstrate the department’s commitment to making it a strategic focus of its activities, an ECD policy was developed and approved by Cabinet. Cabinet furthermore approved a budget of R1,561 billion over the MTEF to increase the number of poor children who have access to the subsidised services of the ECD; and improve the establishment of centre-based services to efficiently meet the basic requirements of the programme.

Substance abuse has proven to be one of the contributors to violence against women and children and in some recent instances, even death within families. The department and the country has therefore positioned the prevention and treatment of substance abuse as key priorities. Substance treatment centres were constructed in three provinces, namely the Northern

Cape, Eastern Cape, and North West in the 2017/2018 financial year and another centre will be constructed in the Free State province in the 2018/2019 financial year. Over the MTEF period, a budget of R224,547 million has furthermore been allocated for the operational costs of these centres.

Since 2011, the various provinces have experienced challenges in finding employment for the scholarship social work graduates. This was particularly evident in the provinces that produced high numbers of social work graduates. For the past five years or so, savings have been incurred in the scholarship programme, because of students dropping out and the identification of students who passed away and whose scholarships no longer had to be funded. Due to the estimated savings in the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, R636,343 million has been taken from the social work bursary scheme over the MTEF period and re-allocated to the provinces, to employ social workers in sectors and service areas where they are most needed. As a result, a total of 861 social work graduates have been employed with effect from the 2017/2018 financial year.

A total of 876 funded posts were approved for the DSD, of which 89 are still vacant. This is because the department was forced to restructure, due to a reduction in its remuneration budget by National Treasury. The organisational structure has since been reviewed, realigned and approved by the Minister on 15 December 2017. The new organisational structure will be implemented as soon as the official instruction is received from the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA). In the meantime, the department will focus on prioritisation and funding of critical posts, to ensure the continued rendering of effective and efficient services.

5.3.2 Performance and expenditure trends

The bulk of this programme’s spending over the medium term is allocated to compensation of employees, which constitutes on average 55% of the budget. Operating leases for office accommodation constitutes on average 21% of the goods and services allocation. Spending on this programme has increased steadily since the 2017/2018 financial year, mainly due to additional funding received for ICT infrastructure. The department has signed a five (5)-year contract with SITA to provide the organisation with a fully managed and turnkey IT solution over the MTEF period. In addition to corporate services responsibilities, the Administration Programme coordinates the department’s strategic planning and provides overall monitoring support through the department’s Management Sub-programme.

6.3.2 Performance and expenditure trends

Over the medium term, the DSD will continue to provide social grants to the elderly, children, war veterans and people with disabilities. Social grants account for an estimated 94.3% (R175.3 billion per year on average) of the department’s total budget over the MTEF period. The department expects to pay social grants to 18.1 million beneficiaries in 2020/2021, up from 17.2 million in 2017/2018.

As a result, spending on grants is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 7.5% over the medium term, reaching a total of R187.6 billion in 2020/2021, mostly due to inflationary adjustments to the value of the grants and growth in the number of beneficiaries. The elderly population, who consists of people older than 60, is growing by 3% per year, and there is a continued increase in the number of child beneficiaries as well.

As the child population grows, the number of beneficiaries who receive the CSG is expected to increase from 12.2 million in 2017/2018 to 12.6 million in 2020/2021. Similarly, as the elderly population grows, the number of beneficiaries who receive the OPG, is expected to increase from 3.4 million in 2017/2018 to 3.7 million in 2020/2021.

7.3.2. Performance and expenditure

The spending focus over the medium term will continue to be on making transfers to SASSA as the grants administering entity, to provide for administration costs related to the payment of social assistance grants.

Transfers to SASSA account for 98.4% (R8.2 million per year on average) of allocations to the Social Security Policy and Administration Programme over the medium term. The transfer funds are used for the administration and distribution of social grants. Administration costs constituted 4.9% of the budget for social grants in 2017/2018 and will decrease to 4.7% in 2020/21, as increases in social grant values and beneficiaries outpace increases in administration.

A policy for income support to orphans who are in the care of relatives was approved by Cabinet in 2016. This paved the way for a higher child support grant for double orphans (minors who do not have parents or adoptive parents), as stipulated by the Social Assistance Amendment Bill. The Bill is expected to be tabled in Parliament for approval by the end of 2017/2018.

By 2019/2020, the department plans to finalise the operationalisation of an inspectorate tasked with maintaining the integrity of the social assistance framework and systems through fraud detection and investigations. The budget for the inspectorate is on average R38.0 million per year over the MTEF period and lies within the Social Security Policy Development Sub-programme in the Social Security Policy and Administration Programme.

In 2004, through the Social Assistance Act, the department established an Appeals Tribunal to adjudicate social grant appeals, which are expected to increase from 3000 in 2017/2018 to 11 000 in 2020/2021, pending Parliament’s approval of related amendments in the Social Assistance Amendment Bill. These amendments will allow social grant applicants to directly lodge an appeal with the Appeals Tribunal, thus eliminating the requirement to first lodge this appeal with SASSA. As a result, the turnaround time for adjudicating appeals is expected to be reduced from 180 to 90 days.

However, due to an expected increase in the case load over the medium term, the percentage of appeals to be adjudicated within 90 days is expected to decrease from 86% in 2016/2017 to 70% in 2019/2020. Despite this, expenditure on handling appeals, which is in the Appeals Adjudication Sub-programme that forms part of the Social Security Policy and Administration Programme, is set to increase at an average annual rate of 6.4% over the MTEF period, from R37.0 million in 2017/2018, to R44.6 million in 2020/2021.

8.3.2 Performance and expenditure

A key component of Outcome 13 (an inclusive and responsive social protection system) of government’s MTSF for 2014-2019, involves reforming and standardising the social welfare system. To enable this, the department is in the process of revising the 1997 White Paper for Social Welfare with the aim to develop a Social Development Act. This act will establish a uniform social development system that takes the obligations set out in the Constitution and other laws pertaining to social development into account. The department expects to complete this revision of the white paper, the development of the act and a service delivery model to implement it, by the end of 2018/2019.

Once developed, the Social Services Practitioners Bill is expected to replace the Social Service Professions Act 110 of 1978. The Bill, which is expected to be submitted to Cabinet for approval in 2018/2019, is aimed at extending the scope of regulation to include other emerging social service occupations such as community development practitioners, ECD practitioners, and child and youth care workers.

There are an estimated 3 736 unemployed social work graduates who benefitted from scholarships provided by the department through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. To address this backlog, the social worker employment grant, which has an average allocation of R204.5 million per year over the medium term in the Welfare Services Policy Development and Implementation Support Programme, aims to sustain the employment of an estimated 566 social work graduates over the MTEF period. The grant, which was initiated in 2017/2018, was funded through a reduction in the budget of the same programme, due to a decrease in the number of new scholarships awarded each year.

The NDP recognises ECD as an important developmental priority. By the end of 2016/2017, an estimated 607 092 poor children were subsidised for ECD services. The department aims to expand access to subsided ECD services over the medium term, through the conditional ECD grant to provinces.

An ECD Policy was approved by Cabinet in December 2015, with an integrated implementation plan on the policy expected to be finalised by March 2018. As soon as the policy is implemented, government expects to provide subsidised services to all poor through registered ECD centres. In addition to the existing number of poor children subsidised for ECD services, it is anticipated that a further 113 448 children will be subsidised over the MTEF period.

An ECD financing strategy is also expected to be finalised in 2018/2019, with the aim of providing a long-term solution for funding quality improvements and increasing coverage across age groups, through different approaches such as early learning, playgroups, toy libraries and home visiting programmes for parents.

As part of the ECD conditional grant, R250.6 million is allocated over the medium term for minor upgrades to an estimated 1 165 conditionally registered centres, to allow them to comply with the minimum norms and standards as set out in the Children’s Act (2005).

A key cost driver in the Older Persons Sub-programme is the Golden Games, in which older people participate and compete in various sports activities to promote active ageing. In 2015/2016, the department carried all costs relating to the Golden Games as provincial budgets could not accommodate the event.

9.1 Purpose

To support community development and promote evidence-based policy making in the DSD.

9.2 Description

This programme consists of the following sub-programmes:

· Special Projects and Innovation provides for the coordination, incubation and innovation of departmental and social cluster initiatives such as the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP);

· Population and Development supports, monitors and evaluates the implementation of the White Paper on Population Policy for South Africa. This is done by conducting research on the country’s population trends and dynamics; raising awareness of population and development concerns; and supporting and building the technical capacity of national, provincial and local government and other stakeholders to implement the Population Policy strategies. It also monitors progress made with implementing the Population Policy in different spheres and sectors of government, and reports back on progress made to the Cabinet, the Southern African Development Community

(SADC), the African Population Commission and the UN Commission on Population and Development;

· Registration and Compliance Monitoring of NPOs registers and monitors NPOs in terms of the Non-Profit Organisations Act 71 of 1997;

· Substance Abuse Advisory Services and Oversight monitors the implementation of policies, legislation and norms and standards aimed at combating substance abuse;

· Community Development develops and facilitates the implementation of policies, guidelines, norms and standards for ensuring the effective and efficient delivery of community development services and programmes;

· Youth develops and facilitates the implementation of policies, legislation and programmes aimed at protecting vulnerable members of the youth; and

· The National Development Agency (NDA) provides grants to civil society organisations to implement sustainable community-driven projects that address food security and create employment and income opportunities.

9.2.5 Performance and expenditure

Many households do not enjoy food security, resulting in malnutrition and stunted growth, poor education and health outcomes, and a range of other social ills. The department intensified its efforts to ensure food security through an additional allocation to the Food Relief Programme, which is expected to continue to sustain 9 provincial food distribution centres and 84 community nutrition development centres. Over the medium term, the department aims to improve access to food by providing more than 4 million meals per year to impoverished communities. The Food Relief Programme constitutes a projected 66% (R190 million) of the total spend in the Community Development Sub-programme, over the MTEF period.

Substance abuse has proven to be one of the main contributors to violence against women and children and has even resulted in deaths. Over the medium term, the department seeks to intensify its efforts to prevent and treat substance abuse by implementing the national Anti-substance Abuse PoA. The department also expects to complete the construction of public substance abuse treatment centres in four (4) provinces, namely Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, North West and Free State, by March 2018. R224.6 million is allocated over the MTEF period for the operational costs of these centres.

Through transfer payments received from the department that amounts to approximately R200 million per year over the medium term, the NDA implements sustainable community-driven projects that provide support to non-profit organisations working on ECD, food security, employment creation and income opportunities. Transfers to the agency, constitutes the largest portion of expenditure in the Social Policy and Integrated Service Delivery Programme. A Cabinet-approved reduction of R10 million per year over the medium term on the agency’s baseline allocation will enable the restructuring of personnel within the agency. This will have no significant impact on service delivery.

Maintaining a healthy working relationship between government and NPOs is a key factor in delivering social welfare services. Taking this into consideration, the department expects to finalise amendments to the Non-Profit Organisations Act (1997) in 2018/2019. The Act seeks to promote transparency and accountability within the NPO sector, without placing onerous requirements on organisations. The department is also finalising a sector financing policy and a partnership model between government and civil society to seek improvements in the relationship between the two sectors. Spending on these activities forms part of the Registration and Monitoring of Non-Profit Organisations Sub-programme in the Social Policy and Integrated Service Delivery Programme, which has a total budget of R120.4 million over the medium term.

PART C: LINKS TO OTHER PLANS10. LINKS TO THE LONG-TERM INFRUSTRUCTURE AND OTHER CAPITAL PLANS

The Government Immovable Asset Management Act (No 19 of 2007) requires governments to move away from its current position of property consumer to that of immovable asset manager. The asset management functions and components envisaged for the social sector are set out in the diagram below.

The sector’s infrastructure portfolio encompasses all CYCC, including:Children’s homes;· Reform schools;· Places of safety;· Secure care facilities;· Schools of industries;· Early childhood development centres;· Old age homes;· Homes for people with disabilities;· Protective workshops;· Shelters for women who are victims of abuse;· Substance dependency treatment centres;· SASSA pay points;· Service centres for older persons;· One-stop community centres;· Youth development centres and offices; and· Community nutrition centres.

Provincial departments of Social Development have developed user asset management plans which articulatetheir plans to support their requirements for infrastructure to enable service delivery over the MTEF.

Provinces continue to be assisted to strengthen the management of their infrastructure portfolios; notably through the acquisition of new buildings and the maintenance, repair, and upgrading of existing facilities.

11. CONDITIONAL GRANTS

Over the MTEF, the DSD continues to take responsibility for the management of the ECD Conditional Grant to the total value of just over R800 million, that was approved by National Treasury. The purpose of this grant is to:

· Increase the number of poor children who are able to access subsidised ECD services through partial care facilities; and

· Assist existing conditionally registered and partial care facilities that provide an ECD programme, to meet the basic requirements to attain full registration.

· The latter refers to undertaking minor maintenance improvements at these conditionally registered ECD centres. This will be based on the outcome of assessments and the work will be executed by the provinces. To this end, funds will be transferred to the provinces, in accordance with the approved conditional grant framework which comes into effect in 2017/2018.

12. PUBLIC ENTITIES

12.1 SASSA

The establishment of SASSA was mandated by the South African Social Security Act of 2004. SASSA is expected to ensure the effective and efficient administration, management and payment of social assistance. The agency has a large network of centres in provinces where citizens register for social grants and operates a substantial payment system that pays out grants to more than 16 million beneficiaries, on a monthly basis. Over the medium term, SASSA is focusing on developing a fully integrated and automated social assistance system; to strengthen its capacity for service delivery and decrease incidences of fraudulent grant payments.

ANNEXURE B: COMMENTARY ON THE VISION AND MISSION STATEMENTS

The revision of the vision and mission of the DSD was aimed at the development of a unified DSD sector against the backdrop of a changing social development environment. It was also premised on the imperatives for development as outlined in Vision 2030 of the NDP. To ensure a uniform interpretation of it across the sector and enable interested external stakeholders to align themselves with it, we offer a comprehensive explanation of the meaning of the revised vision and mission here below.

Vision: A caring and self-reliant society.

The vision is a statement about an envisaged ideal future which contradicts the status quo. It is outward looking and seeks to engender change.2 The key concepts in this vision are:

· Caring - which is about · Changing the hostile society in which we live in;· Entrenching the concept of Ubuntu (I am because we are); · Creating a citizenry that is caring of its members, especially the vulnerable and marginalised; · Redistributive justice, redress and equity; · Building social solidarity; and· Healing our society from past wounds that continue to bedevil our society.

· Self-reliant - which means a society that is empowered to pioneer its own development and collaborating with

the state, to create an enabling environment for development.

2 The vision articulates the end that the organisation wants to strive towards and not the means through which that end will be realised.


67

Mission: To transform our society by building conscious and capable citizens through the provision of integrated social development services.

The mission is an expression of what the department must do to achieve the vision and how it must be done. Through the mission we are able to define the short-, medium- and long-term contributions to the overall vision. The key elements of the mission are:

· Transformation is about changing the landscape of South Africa through legislative reform and programmes which must radically change the material conditions of our people and entrench human rights.

· Consciousness building has both an internal organisational focus on building activist bureaucrats committed to the service of South African citizens. The outward focus is on creating a space for progressive awareness, critical engagement and participation of citizens in their development.

· Capabilities are about enhancing the social, human, financial, physical and natural assets of citizens to enable them to experience the kind freedom that is expressed in the Constitution of South Africa.

· Integrated service is about ensuring that our provision of welfare services, community development and social security, respond effectively to the lifecycle challenges that our people face.

1.3.2. PERFORMANCE AND EXPENDITURE TRENDS

The bulk of this programme’s spending over the medium term is allocated to the compensation of employees, which constitutes on average 55% of the budget. Operating leases for office accommodation constitutes on average 21% of the goods and services allocation.

Spending on this programme has increased steadily since the 2017/2018 financial year, mainly due to additional funding received for ICT Infrastructure. The Department has signed a 5-year contract with SITA for a fully managed and turnkey IT solution over the MTEF period.

In addition to corporate services responsibilities, the Administration Programme coordinates the department’s strategic planning and provides overall oversight and monitoring support through the Department Management Sub-programme.

2.3.1. PERFORMANCE AND EXPENDITURE TRENDS

Over the medium term, the DSD will continue to provide social grants to the elderly, children, war veterans and people with disabilities. Social grants account for an estimated 94.3% (R175.3 billion per year on average) of the department’s total budget over the MTEF period. The department expects to pay social grants to 18.1 million beneficiaries in 2020/2021, up from 17.2 million in 2017/2018.

As a result, spending on grants is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 7.5% over the medium term, reaching a total of R187.6 billion in 2020/2021, mostly due to inflationary adjustments to the value of the grants and growth in the number of beneficiaries. The elderly population, consisting of people who are older than 60, is growing by 3% per year, and there is a continued increase in the number of child beneficiaries.

Based on the current growth rate of the child population, the number of beneficiaries who receive the CSG is expected to increase from 12.2 million in 2017/2018 to 12.6 million in 2020/2021. Similarly, as the elderly population grows, the number of beneficiaries who receive the OPG, is expected to increase from 3.4 million in 2017/2018 to 3.7 million in 2020/2021.

3.3.1. PERFORMANCE AND EXPENDITURE

The spending focus over the medium term will continue to be on making transfers to SASSA as the grants administering entity, to provide for administration costs related to the payment of social assistance grants.

Transfers to SASSA account for 98.4% (R8.2 million per year on average) of allocations to the Social Security Policy and Administration Programme over the medium term. The transfer funds are used for the administration and distribution of social grants. Administration costs constituted 4.9% of the budget for social grants in 2017/2018 and will decrease to 4.7% in 2020/21, as increases in social grant values and beneficiaries outpace increases in administration.

A policy for income support to orphans who are in the care of relatives was approved by Cabinet in 2016. This paved the way for a higher child support grant for double orphans (minors who do not have parents or adoptive parents), as contained in the Social Assistance Amendment Bill. The Bill is expected to be tabled in Parliament for approval by the end of 2017/2018.

By 2019/20, the department plans to finalise the operationalisation of an inspectorate tasked with maintaining the integrity of the social assistance framework and systems through fraud detection and investigations. The budget for the inspectorate is on average R38.0 million per year over the MTEF period and lies within the Social Security Policy Development


75

Sub-programme in the Social Security Policy and Administration Programme.

In 2004, through the Social Assistance Act, the department established an Appeals Tribunal to adjudicate social grant appeals, which are expected to increase from 3000 in 2017/2018 to 11 000 in 2020/2021, pending Parliament’s approval of related amendments to the Social Assistance Amendment Bill.

These amendments will allow social grant applicants to directly lodge an appeal with the Appeals Tribunal, thus eliminating the requirement to first lodge the appeal with

SASSA. As a result, the turnaround time for adjudicating appeals is expected to be reduced from 180 to 90 days.

However, due to an expected increase in the case load over the medium term, the percentage of appeals to be adjudicated within 90 days is expected to decrease from 86% in 2016/2017 to 70% in 2019/2020. Despite this, expenditure on handling appeals, which forms part of the budget of the Appeals Adjudication Sub-programme of the Social Security Policy and Administration Programme, is set to increase at an average annual rate of 6.4% over the MTEF period, from R37.0 million in 2017/2018 to R44.6 million in 2020/21.


Number Risk Plan of action1. Change of political priorities and the re-

directing of workNegotiate the plans and/or reprioritise the work of the department with the new Minister

2. Lack of financial resources due to the reprioritisation of budget

Reprioritisation of the work of the department

3. Lack of support and approval by relevant authorities and stakeholders

5. Incomplete, inaccurate and invalid data on social assistance debtors

Ensure that there is a quality assurance mechanism and all information is cross-referenced when the handover between SASSA and the SIU is completed

6. Non-availability of records from SASSA to complete the adjudication of appeals within 90 days

Enforce the protocol agreements with SASSA and escalate non-adherence to the Heads of both DSD and SASSA. Amend the 2011 Regulations following the amendment to the Social Assistance Act to provide for additional measures between SASSA and DSD to address this issue

There are an estimated 3 736 unemployed social work graduates who benefitted from scholarships provided by the department through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. To address this backlog, the social worker employment grant, which has an average allocation of R204.5 million per year over the medium term in the Welfare Services Policy Development and Implementation Support Programme, aims to sustain the employment of an estimated 566 social work graduates over the MTEF period. The grant, which was initiated in 2017/2018, was funded through a reduction in the budget of the same programme, due to a decrease in the number of new scholarships awarded each year.

The NDP recognises ECD as an important developmental priority. By the end of 2016/2017, an estimated 607 092 poor children were subsidised for ECD services. The department aims to expand access to subsided ECD services over the medium term, through the conditional ECD grant to provinces.

An ECD Policy was approved by Cabinet in December 2015, with an integrated implementation plan on the policy expected to be finalised by March 2018. As soon as the policy is implemented, government expects

4.3.1 PERFORMANCE AND EXPENDITURE

A key component of Outcome 13 (an inclusive and responsive social protection system) of government’s MTSF for 2014-2019, involves reforming and standardising the social welfare system. To enable this, the department is in the process of revising the 1997 White Paper for Social Welfare with the aim to develop a social development act, which will establish a uniform social development system that takes all obligations set out in the Constitution and other laws pertaining to social development into account. The department expects to have concluded the revision of the white paper, the development of the act and a service delivery model to enable it, by the end of 2018/2019.

As soon as it is developed, the Social Service Practitioners Bill is expected to replace the Social Service Professions Act 110 of 1978. The Bill, which is expected to be submitted to Cabinet for approval in 2018/2019, is aimed at extending the scope of regulation to include other emerging social service occupations such as community development practitioners, ECD practitioners, and child and youth care workers.

PROGRAMME 5: SOCIAL POLICY AND INTEGRATED SERVICE DELIVERY

5.1. Purpose

To support community development and promote evidence-based policy making in the department and the social development sector.

5.2. Description

This programme consists of the following sub-programmes:· Social Policy Research and Development provides

strategic guidance in respect of social policy development, coordination and evaluation;

· Special projects and innovation provides for the coordination, incubation and innovation of departmental and social cluster initiatives such as the EPWP;

· Population and Development supports, monitors and evaluates the implementation of the White Paper on Population Policy for South Africa;

· Registration and Compliance Monitoring of Non-Profit Organisations registers and monitors NPOs in terms of the Non-profit Organisations Act of 1997;

· Substance Abuse Advisory Services and Oversight monitors the implementation of policies, legislation and norms and standards aimed at combating substance abuse;

· Community Development develops and facilitates the implementation of policies, guidelines, norms and standards to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of community development services and programmes; and

· National Development Agency (NDA) provides grants to civil society organisations to implement sustainable community-driven projects that address food security, create employment and income opportunities.

4.4 RISK MANAGEMENT

Number Risk Plan of actionLitigation emanating from delays in financing NPOs Review, approve and facilitate implementation of

the PFAIncrease of social ills placing additional demand for services e.g. substance abuse, GBV, child abuse and neglect, HIV and Aids

Strengthen prevention programmes and services and develop a demand and supply model for SSPs

Lack of legislation for victim empowerment services Develop legislation for victim empowerment services to regulate this area of service provision

Lack of mainstreaming of issues related to persons with disabilities in services, programmes and infrastructure design and implementation

Conduct capacity building programmes on disability mainstreaming and develop a monitoring tool to assess compliance

to provide subsidised services to all poor through registered ECD centres. In addition to the existing number of poor children subsidised for ECD services, it is anticipated that a further 113 448 children will be subsidised over the MTEF period.

An ECD financing strategy is also expected to be finalised in 2018/2019, with the aim of providing a long-term solution for funding quality improvements and increasing coverage across age groups, through different approaches such as early learning, playgroups, toy libraries and home visiting programmes for parents.

As part of the ECD conditional grant, R250.6 million is allocated over the medium term for minor upgrades to an estimated 1 165 conditionally registered centres, to allow them to comply with the minimum norms and standards as set out in the Children’s Act (2005).

A key cost driver in the Older Persons Sub-programme is the Golden Games, in which older people participate and compete in various sports activities to promote active ageing. In 2015/2016, the department carried all costs relating to the Golden Games as provincial budgets could not accommodate the event.

5.3.1. Performance and expenditure

Many households do not enjoy food security, resulting in malnutrition and stunted growth, poor education and health outcomes, and a range of other social ills. The department has intensified its efforts to ensure food security through an additional allocation to the Food Relief Programme, which is expected to continue to sustain nine (9) provincial food distribution centres and 84 CNDCs. Over the medium term, the department aims to improve access to food by providing more than four (4) million meals per year, to impoverished communities. The Food Relief Programme constitutes a projected 66% (R190 million) of the total spend in the Community Development Sub-programme, over the MTEF period.

Substance abuse has proven to be one of the main contributors to violence against women and children, and even death. Over the medium term, the department seeks to intensify its efforts to prevent and treat substance abuse, by implementing the national Anti-substance Abuse PoA. The department also expects to complete the construction of public substance abuse treatment centres in four (4) provinces, namely Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, North West and Free State, by March 2018. R224.6 million is allocated over the MTEF period, for the operational costs of these centres.

Through transfer payments received from the department that amounts to approximately R200 million per year over the medium term, the NDA implements

sustainable community-driven projects that provide support to non-profit organisations working on ECD, food security, employment creation and income opportunities. Transfers to the agency account for the largest portion of the expenditure in the Social Policy and Integrated Service Delivery Programme. A Cabinet-approved reduction of R10 million per year over the medium term on the agency’s baseline allocation, will be utilised for restructuring of personnel within the agency. This will have no significant impact on service delivery.

Maintaining a healthy working relationship between government and non-profit organisations, is a key factor in delivering social welfare services. Taking this into consideration, the department expects to finalise amendments to the Non-Profit Organisations Act (1997) in 2018/19. The amendments to the act will serve to promote transparency and accountability within the NPO sector, without placing onerous requirements on organisations.

The department is also finalising a sector financing policy and partnership model between government and civil society to improve the relationship between the two sectors. Spending on these activities forms part of the budget of the Registration and Monitoring of Non-Profit Organisations Sub-programme in the Social Policy and Integrated Service Delivery programme, which has a total budget of R120.4 million, over the medium term.
