| Problematic Policy |
|
|
 In February this year, we asked for your input into that perennial NGO bugbear, the Policy on Financial Awards to Service Providers (PFASP).“The Department of Social Development (DoSD) has recently released a March 2008 version of the problematic policy and intends to push it through before the close of their financial year. The NWF has already written to DoSD and Minister Molewa to request that they declare a proper open consultation process of at least a few months to make sure that all organisations have enough time to read, understand and offer a proactive critique of the policy. We are waiting to hear if this happen, but in the meantime, please take a look at the document here, and send your comments to Karen Peters, on email or fax as soon as possible. We can only hope that DoSD will do the right thing and ensure there is proper and open consultation for such an important policy instead of just trying to push it through with only a cursory “consultation” with the most unreasonable time limits.” We are pleased to let you now have this latest version of comments, compiled for the JSC by Karen Peters. Again, we ask that you read and comment, so we make sure we can get the kind of policy we need to do the work we must!
