A better understanding of departments\u2019 baselines assists in finding savings in existing expenditure, as well as proposing savings and efficiencies in medium term budgets. By analysing and understanding how money is spent in institutions or facilities, as well as on existing implementation programmes, a strong empirical base for clear recommendations to decision-makers is developed.<\/p>\n

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>Technical Spending Reviews<\/h3><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>National Association of Welfare Organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations (NAWONGO) Court Judgement<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>The NAWONGO court case affects the way provincial DSDs fund social welfare services provided by NPOs, and the PER sought to quantify the gap between existing spending and spending levels that would comply with the judgement. Between 2012\/13 and 2016\/17, spending by provincial DSDs rose from R12 billion to R17.8 billion, an increase of 9.7% a year. Over that period provincial DSDs spending on social welfare services rose from R8.6 billion to R11.5 billion, an increase of 7.5% a year. Of these funds, subsidies paid to NPOs rose from just over R3 billion in 2012\/13 to R3.7 billion in 2016\/17, an increase of 5.2% — a much slower rate. Funding levels for social welfare services are low, constituting about 2.3% of provinces\u2019 aggregate budgets. Spending in 2016\/17 averaged at about R342 per poor person in the provinces, though there were substantial inequalities in spending, with the Western Cape averaging R622 per poor person and Limpopo averaging only R220. The PER suggests that implementing the NAWONGO judgement for all services currently provided would necessitate an additional R9.2 billion.\n- <\/i><\/span>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Non-Profit Organisations and Social Welfare Registration Process<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThe current model of welfare delivery is to use non-governmental organisations to provide welfare services. South Africa has approximately 25 000 individual welfare organisations (and 50 000 non-welfare NPOs). Government allocates about R2.3 billion to these welfare organisations, and some also raise funds from private donors. An extensive registration and monitoring regime is needed to ensure that they function as required and spend government money appropriately; the current regime costs the national and provincial departments of social welfare about R250 million. The national Department of Social Welfare has promulgated a set of regulations on the administration and monitoring of welfare services that, if fully implemented, would cost about R1.1 billion. By combining the currently separate registration processes, eliminating forced reregistration, and being more pragmatic about inspection processes (e.g. using auxiliary social workers) the study proposed savings of R614 million, and suggests that a combined budget of R427 million would be sufficient to ensure proper oversight.
