  10. CONTEXT/SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS "Building a Caring Society. Together" The Social Development Sector delivers its services in an environment marked by high levels of poverty, unemployment and inequality. Some recent policy developments • The social assistance programme remains government’s single most significant poverty alleviation programme: • Studies carried out by among others Statistics South Africa; including the Presidency’s Fifteen Year Review, suggest that the Social Assistance Programme is the single most important driver of the decline in poverty has had a significant impact on reducing poverty, redistributing income and reducing inequality. • Studies carried out by the Department and other institutions have uncovered various positive developmental impacts of the child support social grant in promoting nutritional, educational and health outcomes, including a significant contribution to the attainment of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Goal 1, the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger. 10

  11. CONTEXT/SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS "Building a Caring Society. Together" Project Mikondzo: The project is a service delivery improvement intervention focusing on 1300 wards poorest wards in 23 priority district municipalities in the country. The project was implemented successfully in all provinces and immediate interventions were provided in some of the areas visited. A comprehensive service delivery improvement plan is being developed. Call centre on Gender Based Violence: as part of the fight against Gender Based Violence, we launched a command centre for victims of gender based violence which operates a 24-hour toll free line staffed by 42 social workers and 7 social work veterans. 11

  12. CONTEXT/SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS "Building a Caring Society. Together" 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 others the Departments of Basic Education, Labour, Justice, Health and Rural development. 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 . – This is a government-wide integration challenge. 12
