1. DSD Quarter 1 Report 2023-24 (1 APRIL 2023 30 June 2023) Presentation to the Portfolio Committee Session on Social Development 20 September 2023

2. Contextual analysis This is the 1st quarter performance against the objectives and Expenditure reports for the Department as committed to in the 2023-24 APP. In this APP 2023/24 we have given full attention to all the commitments that have lagged and the targets that have not been fully achieved previously, and we are dedicating the Financial Year 2023/24 as a year of consolidating the work of the 6th administration as well as intensifying efforts of closing all service delivery gaps. The Department achieved 84% of its set targets while 16% of the targets were not achieved, it is the highest achievement as compared to the 80% achievement of the previous year 2022/23. We continue to build from the lessons learnt in the previous reporting periods and we also continue to make efforts to improve from the areas that have been lagging in our previous year's performance and ensure that annual targets are achieved. Whist we are resolute in these endeavours, we equally take cognizance of the harsh realities and the dire state of our people who are dependent to our services for their livelihoods and so that they do not go to bed without food. We are also fully aware of the factors that make it difficult for us to deliver quality of service e.g., the country continues to experience severe episodes of loadshedding as well as some areas get affected by disasters due to floods and fire in some instances, as we recently observed in some buildings in Gauteng province. 2

3. Contextual analysis Parliamentary processes are underway and Public Hearings on the Older Persons Amendment Bill B11 of 2022 by the Portfolio Committee on Social Development have been conducted supported by the department in five provinces: Limpopo: 3 Districts (Vhembe, Mopani and Capricorn).

6. Performance Overview: Targets Not Achieved While significant progress was made in the following areas, the set targets and objectives were not fully realised at the end of the first quarter: Human Capital Management: The quarterly target to submit a draft Sector Strategy for the Employment of Social Service Professionals to the SPCHD-DG Cluster for consideration was not achieved. The SPCHD-DG Cluster held on the 15 March 2023 advised the DSD to strengthen the Draft Sector Strategy for consideration. Subsequently, the draft Strategy was discussed for inputs at National Treasury (Medium Term Expenditure Committee (MTEC) and HSDS in April and June 2023 respectively. HSDS advised the DSD to host a workshop with four (4) DSD Provincial HOD (WC, KZN, NC, GP) to refine the strategy. National Treasury advised the DSD to embellish the strategy by including Service Delivery Model, trends analysis and data analysis, norms and standards and ratio for employment. Social Assistance: The quarterly target to transfer R63.25 billion to SASSA for administration and payment of social grants to beneficiaries on behalf of DSD was not achieved. A total of R 63,0 billion instead of R63,25 billion was made available to SASSA for the payment of social grants between April 2023 to June 2023. The targeted figure was based on estimated preliminary budget. However, the transfer was based on the final allocations from Treasury, which was received after APP has been approved. Nonetheless, all eligible grant beneficiaries were paid. Comprehensive Social Security: The quarterly target to request Cabinet approval for public comments on the draft policy paper was not achieved due to late submission of preliminary comments and inputs by government stakeholders. An input document on institutional framework and financial implications prepared. Escalation to Accounting Officers to enable the finalisation of the comments and inputs for the Cabinet memorandum to be processed. 6

7. Performance Overview: Targets Not Achieved Professional Social Services and Older Persons: The quarterly targets to consult the sector on the National Strategy on Ageing in four (4) provinces was not achieved due to other processes to be undertaken prior to the consultation.

This is due to further consultation conducted with National Treasury regarding the costing of the Policy. The target will be achieved in the next quarter. Poverty Alleviation, Sustainable Livelihoods and Food Security: The quarterly target to produce inception report on a design evaluation on linking social protection beneficiaries to sustainable livelihood opportunities was not achieved. There were delays in the appointment of the service provider to conduct a design evaluation. A project plan to expedite the process is in place and all efforts will be put to complete this report within the anticipated period. 7

8. Performance Overview: Targets Not Achieved Services to Persons with Disabilities The target to map out DSD to support independent living within the community for persons with disabilities was not achieved. There were delays in the finalisation of the appointment of a suitable expert to assist DSD to undertake this work. However, all plans are in place to expedite and complete this work within the timeframe. The target to conduct public hearings on draft Policy on Social Development Services to Persons with Disabilities in four (4) provinces was not achieved. Only three public hearing were held in GP (Johannesburg) and KZN (Ugu and iLembe Districts). Lack of accessible venue in FS (Sasolburg) and delays by DSD inspection team to view the venue for procurement in EC (Ngqheleni) resulted in the cancellation of the events.

50. EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS OF SPENDING EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS OF SPENDING P1: Administration 24% Spending The spending relate is mainly driven by mandatory services such as security and cleaning contracts, audit fee, fleet management and IT services. P3: Social Security Policy and Administration 13.9% spending Lower spending relate to slow start of projects as a result of inter-dependence on other institutions. The outreach activities have started and payments would reflect in quarter 2 and quarter 3 The projects for Appeals Posters and Zero rating of SRD Website have started. Payments would be initiated during the next quarters. P4: Welfare Services Policy Development and Implementation Support 18.1% spending Low spending is mainly attributed by historic spending for the community outreach programmes in the latter part of the financial year. Delays in the finalisation of contract for the GBV command centre and subsequent invoicing contributed to the low spending.
