CHALLENGESSome of the key reasons for non-achievement of targets which were beyond Department’s control include:
•With regard to the establishment of Department of Social Security, Cabinet recommended that current social security institutions be restructured in order to improve coordination among them.
•With regards to policy on retirement reform, Cabinet recommended that further consultations should take place before the policy is finalised
•The department formed a unit tasked with establishing an Inspectorate for Social Security. However, it was hampered by lack of internal capacity
•The department revised its approach to these project to first creating the requisite internal capacity

CHALLENGES• Resource Limitations :
• Provincial Older Persons’ Parliaments were not convened in some provinces due to limited resources and logistical challenges in provinces
• Capacity constraints: • The Department could not process all NPO applications for registration
within 60 days due to increased number (about 4000 more) of application received as compared to the previous years
• Other challenges:• Extensive consultation affected achievements of other targets e.g.
The Policy on Social Service Practitioners was not approved due to extensive consultative processes and stakeholder interest
The finalisation of the White Paper on Families was delayed by extended consultations
