Over the years the Department of Social Development has been celebrating the
month of October as Social Development Month. These celebrations are targeted
at highlighting the services of the department to the communities of South
Africa. The department also uses this month to do an assessment of the quality
of services that are being rendered to the communities with a view to improve
the extent to which the citizens access these services.
This year the Social and Human Development Cluster with the Department of
Social Development as a lead department, in partnership with the South African
Social Security Agency and the National Development Agency, will be embarking
on a number of activities to promote services rendered and will put emphasis on
the improvement of available services.
It is against this background that the department will on 1 October 2007
launch the Social Development Month as well as the signing of the Service Level
Agreement with the South African Social Security Agency. The Social Development
Month Programme will entail activities that run throughout the province
targeting older persons, orphaned and vulnerable children, disabled and youth
in conflict with the law.
The details of the launch and the signing of the Service Level Agreement are
as follows:
Date: 1 October 2007
