SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT MONTH ACTIVITIES: OCTOBER 2007

The Department of Social Development (DSD) is celebrating Social Development Month in October with activities under the overall theme of accelerating the fight against poverty.

The marking of SDM is informed by the overall priorities of the Department of Social Development. In line with the 21 identified Government Priorities - “priorities of priorities”, the DSD identified 3 key areas relating to its functions. • Eradication of poverty; - The anti-poverty strategy - Ensuring the fast-tracking of households and individuals in dire poverty and provide them with a combinations of interventions already available utilizing Community Development Workers and other existing local structures. • Early Childhood Development - Increase the number of ECD registered of sites (launch of campaign on 11 October, Temba Hammanskraal). - Extension of subsidy to registered sites. - Training and development of greater numbers of ECD practitioners • Justice and Crime prevention - Protection of women and children through Victim Empowerment Programme (November).

These areas are to form the priority focus of Department’s service delivery during Social Development Month and in the remaining period of the current government term. The impact and profile of the interventions in the identified service delivery areas is to be achieved primarily through:- - Strengthening of ‘on the ground’ service delivery operations: This means addressing obstacles and constraints that undermine the delivery of services (early childhood development, youth development, SASSA registration and outreach campaigns, services to older persons and other vulnerable groups, anti-poverty measures to support children and other vulnerable groups, fight against substance abuse, amongst many other focus areas.)

1 - Numeric escalation of service delivery: This means increasing the extent of the reach of the service which translates to more specific social groups accessing the service. (SASSA outreach programme and rapid registration campaign in remote areas, foster care grant processing, and registration of Early Childhood development Centres, services to older persons and others).
