Challenges To work effectively across the internal programme structures to achieve our strategic objectives. Matrix (team management) Appropriate budget structure To improve synergy and accountability with provinces around service delivery on our agreed priority areas. Strengthening the capacities of service delivery institutions such as NPOs and public entities. This also implies improved M&E systems. Similarly, to be more effective in shaping policies across government that impact on the poor and vulnerable. 5/7/2019

Conclusion In this year and over MTEF, we are rededicating ourselves to work with communities and all partners to fight child poverty, protect children from abuse and other social ills. The litmus test of our success in this regard must be based on the extent to which we contribute to extricating children from abject poverty. 5/7/2019
