Background • Over the first five years of its establishment the Agency had to strike

a balance between putting an effort in establishing itself while ensuring the provision of quality service;

• The Agency has maintained consistent provision of monthly income support to a significant number of South Africans while instituting measures to reduce the turnaround times for the processing of applications;

• The Agency increased its reach to over 10 million beneficiaries, while the turn around time was reduced from six months to nine days (and 1 day in some areas); and

• Agency also increase reach to rural communities through mobile units.

Situational Analysis SIGNIFICANT GROWTH AND IMPACT ON SERVICE DELIVERY• Over 8 million South Africans receive over 15 million social grants

benefits depicted as follows:• 10 million are child benefits; • 2.5m are older persons; and • 1.3m are people with disabilities.• The number of grant benefits increased from 13m in 2008/09 to

over 15m in 2010/1; and• The average number of transactions that the Agency deals with

per annum is 4,680,675 excluding payments.

Page 9: Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development 30 March 2011.

Situational Analysis cont.…AGSA’s FINDINGSSignificant growth in number had a negative impact on administration resulting in a qualified audit opinion. The following were the reasons for the qualification:• There were more than 545 508 missing files;•There were 159 302 items of loose correspondence which still has to be placed on the files and captured on the Management Information System;•There were 209 302 files which are missing the critical documents;•There were 62 153 files which need to be transferred between regions; and•There were more than 2 million files that should be destroyed.•The nature of the Agency’s business renders it vulnerable to fraud and corruption.

Page 10: Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development 30 March 2011.

Situational Analysis cont.…SHARING OF OFFICES WITH DSD

Some regions are still sharing offices with DSD and this has implications for:

• Suitable office space - staff is generally speaking, crammed in offices with negative impact on job satisfaction and quality of service delivery;

• Equal sharing of running costs even though the Agency’s use of services is lesser than that of DSD; and

• Investment in ICT infrastructure is affected by the uncertainty over tenure agreements.

10

Page 11: Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development 30 March 2011.

Situational Analysis cont.…PAY POINT CONDITIONS• A large number of the pay points where the beneficiaries

receive their cash payments do not meet the norms and standards with regard to providing humane basic facilities;

• In some cases beneficiaries are exposed to security and health risks;

• Most rural pay points require urgent infrastructural attention; and

• Exploitation of beneficiaries by merchants and money lenders.

11

Page 12: Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development 30 March 2011.

Situational Analysis cont.…THE STRATEGIC PLAN 2011/12 - 2013/14 SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING KEY CHALLENGES:

Agency’s ENE aligned financial plan

Page 43: Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development 30 March 2011.

Agency’s ENE aligned financial plan• SASSA’s budgetary constraints manifested in the accumulated budget

deficit of R884 million • The budgeted surplus as shown in the table is aimed at reducing this

accumulated deficit over the MTEF period• Coupled with reducing the deficit SASSA have to deal with the

expanding scope of work that necessitates implementation of new projects which requires funding

• The Agency’s spending over the MTEF period will have a particular focus on improving the grant application process, and implementing a new social grants payment model that will contribute towards savings in the administration budget

• Baseline prioritisation was done to sufficiently fund new critical projects and align the budget with planned outputs.

– Funds have been redeployed from the cash payment contractors’ fees which will see expenditure on this item declining

43

Page 44: Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development 30 March 2011.

Cost containment measures• Considering the accumulated deficit and the fact that SASA has to ensure efficient

and smooth service delivery to our beneficiaries, a turnaround strategy was initiated• Part of the strategy included the introduction of austerity measures which are

targeted at expenditure that could be curbed without any serious repercussions or disruption of service delivery

• To this end we have seen a positive decline in expenditure on items such as travel, catering etc. The allocation of budgets to these items even took into account these cost containment measures as a guiding principle and thus ensured that the budget on these items is kept to the minimum

• These cost containment measures will continue as part of the strategy to achieve financial stability. We do, however, acknowledge that these cost containment measures might not be sustainable in the long run and might affect service delivery and will call for serious trade-offs when deciding on projects and the budget allocations going forward

• Focus will be a combination of service delivery and on achieving and maintaining financial stability

• The following slide provides an overview of the funded priorities44
