  3. BACKGROUND • An Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on Violence against women and children (VAWC); which is led by the Department of Social Development, was established on the 3rd May in 2012. • The IMC on VAWC comprised of seven (7) state departments, namely DSD, Department of Justice and Constitutional Development; the then Department of Women, Children and People with Disabilities; Home Affairs; South African Police Services and Basic Education and were tasked with a responsibility to investigate the root causes of violence against women and children with the objective to develop a comprehensive strategy to address the scourge of violence against women and children and look into the root causes of VAWC. • The work of the IMC on VAWC also culminated to the diagnostic review to ascertain the state’s response to violence against women and children (VAWC) by reviewing both the institutional and programmatic mechanisms by which the state addresses VAWC. • The IMC also conducted a study on the structural determinants on causes of violence against women and children. DPME developed M&E framework for the POA

  4. BACKGROUND… • An integrated Programme of Action (POA-VAWC; 2013-2018) was developed. • The aim of the POA is to eliminate of all forms of violence against women and children. • The programme is an important foundation in a longer journey to realize the long term vision of all women and children living free from violence in South Africa. • The framework for the realization of this vision is articulated in the three pillars namely 1.Prevention and 2.Protection, Response, as well as 3.Care and Support.

  5. THE PILLARS OF THE PROGRAMME The Elimination of all forms of violence against women and children PREVENTION and PROTECTION RESPONSE • CARE • and • SUPPORT Advocacy and Communication Legislation and Policies, Governance and Accountability, Intersectoral Collaboration and Coordination, Capacity- Building, Human Resources and Finances, M&E and Research.

  7. Progress on Pillar 1. 2016/17

  8. Progress on Pillar 1 by DSD • Prevention & Early Intervention Strategy 2013-2018 (as a first step in prevention of violence against children) has been developed and approved in order to build and strengthen resilience of children and families. • In the financial year 2016/17 provinces were supported to develop own provincial strategies. • In addition, provinces were guided to develop intersectoral protocol for reporting, referral and feedback systems between service providers • The protocol ensures effective management of reported cases of child abuse neglect and exploitation and track progress on interventions.

  9. Progress on Pillar 1 (cont…) • DSD in collaboration with the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs Trade and Development conducted SA Child Protection Surveillance Study Project finalised the research by July 2016. • The study provided a better understanding of the extent and dynamics of child abuse, neglect and exploitation which would result in a more responsive and effective child protection system in South Africa. • The study generated accurate and reliable data on the incidence of child abuse, neglect and exploitation. This data has been missing in a number of national instruments such as child care legislation, policies and strategies.

CHALLENGES ON IMPLEMENTATION OF POA • Departments and other relevant stakeholders continue to render services in silos resulting to lack of coordinated implementation and • Poor reporting from cluster departments • There is no dedicated personnel that renders specialised service such as trauma counselling • Limited budget

  24. WAY FORWARD AND RECOMMENDATION • The Women’s Caucus to take note of the progress for 2016/17 and the plans for 2017/18 financial years. • It is recommended that the POA be aligned to the departmental APP’s and Operational Plans and to ensure planning and monitoring by the Department of Monitoring and Evaluation at Presidency. This will assist in improving reporting • Review the POA and vigorously consult the civil society organisations and all stakeholders for buy inn.
