The Western Cape Department of Social Development has broken the one-billion-Rand mark in funding for NGOs.
MEC Albert Fritz said in a statement
that this is significant in a time when many NGO’s are experiencing a funding
crisis due to poor global economic conditions, and other state institutions
increasingly failing them by withdrawing funding.
MEC Fritz said we are always
accused that we do not do enough funding for NGOs and this is an indication
that we are very serious in seeing NGOs as our partners in service delivery to
our communities.
“We want to emphasis this
point that NGOs must please be accountable for the money that government gives
them and that they need to make sure that money does not get misused or disappears”
Fritz added.
