CHALLENGES 43

44 CHALLENGES The implementation of the Department’s programmes is affected by a number of challenges. Limited capacity due to the termination of service by many senior managers during the reporting period. The Inspectorate for social security is not yet fully fledged or operational. As such the lack of capacity has affected it work during the period under review. The Department works with other institutions both governmental and non-governmental in implementing some of its projects, as such delays created by other institutions have an impact on the rate at which the Department delivers on its mandate. -Projects affected by this include the delayed approval of comprehensive social security reforms. Reporting lines with provinces need to improve in order to address challenges such as lack of timely reporting by some provinces. "Building a Caring Society. Together"
