Media statement by Albert Fritz, Western Cape Minister of Social Development: Applications for NGO funding close on 4 November 2011
28 Oct 2011
When I took office in this position, I committed myself to ensuring that our services reach those who need it most. However, a government on its own cannot render all the services our citizens need. For this we rely on NGOs to partner with us in order to create communities in which all citizens have access to services. NGOs are funded with taxpayers money, and as such, I also want to ensure that taxpayers receive value for their money.
To this end, I appeal to NGOs to include as much detail of their proposed programmes and the people who will benefit from the services rendered. A funding panel will evaluate all proposals and work with tried and tested funding models, to ensure that projects that speak directly to our strategic objective of social inclusion and poverty reduction, receive adequate funding. There is no room for corruption and favouritism in my department. Applications will be evaluated on their merit, and the process will be guided by the strategic objectives of the Western Cape Government, in realising the open opportunity society for all.
Applications will not be accepted at our local offices. The process has been streamlined to allow better tracking of applications, every step of the way. It is therefore imperative that applications are handed in at one of the six Regional Offices, relevant to the area in which the operation/facility is physically located.
Guidelines on how to formulate the application are available on our website: www.westerncape.gov.za
