10. Key issues raised (Districts & Province Dialogues) Legislative Framework Centralized NPO registration frustrates applying organizations Language used on the application forms not user friendly Too many pieces of legislation for NPOs to comply with e.g Tax laws Registration takes longer than 60 days stipulated in the NPO Act. Poor administration of NPO registration process The Ten Point Plan Limited number of CBOs rendering family services Rural communities still affected by poverty – little or no funding in rural areas Misuse of social grants Insufficient shelters for victims of violence (women and children) Statutory rape cases take too long to be investigated and finalized Trained youth workers from learnerships are abandoned after completion of programmes Late transfers of funds demoralize youth NPOs 14

Key issues raised (Districts & Province Dialogues)….. Funding and Resource Mobilization Skewed NPO funding Late transfers of funds Most emerging NPOs unable to access funding Business plans required by the Department too complex for emerging NPOs Small NPOs unable to meet the costs of Auditors as required Double dipping by some NPOs Poor monitoring of funded organizations Welfare Services and Transformation Most facilities and NPOs that are well resourced are dominated by the white population Emerging NPOs are in rural areas and because they are less capacitated, they are seen as risks by funders 15

11. Key Recommendations The Province and the NPO Sector hopes that the National Summit will come up with:  Identified opportunities for supporting the NPO sector to ensure their sustainability.  A greater consistency across all funding agencies, including a funding code for funders and fund-raisers. 16

Key recommendations…..  Clear directives on the review of the legal framework for the non profit sector and the nature of the envisaged dispensation  An improved commitment and  Revised action points on transforming the welfare system 17
