"Building a caring society. together"
CONTEXT• Challenges facing the department of Social Development and the sector
are varied.
• Poverty, unemployment, inequality and absence of essential services and their concomitant social ills are common denominators that cut across most of these challenges
• The complexity of the challenges is further exacerbated by – the fact that Community development and welfare services are labour
intensive, and – depend largely on skilled social workers and community development
practitioners, – both these professionals are in short supply to meet the service delivery
demand– Also the community development area has had very limited focus and shared
understanding
