  • Due to the nature of this programme, it is
    susceptible to possible abuse and manipulation
    and very difficult to control
  • Limited food supply compared to the number of
    poor households in need causes serious tensions
    amongst communities

48
Food Emergency Relief
  • Challenges (continued)
  • 2004/05
  • Lack of sustainability element of the programme
    itself is problematic
  • The current delivery model is a short-term relief
    measure for poor with no medium to long-term
    focus. It was initially conceived as an emergency
    relief.
  • The current delivery model, which is based on
    competitive bidding process is problematic

49
Food Emergency Relief
  • Actions to address challenges
  • A comprehensive policy on social relief of
    distress is being developed
  • A new service delivery model has been conceived
    focusing on integrated social development
    services. Main outputs are
  • Integrated welfare services delivered through
    NGOs, NPOs CBOs
  • Short-term relief according to needs identified
    by provinces, e.g. drop-in centres, soup kitchens
    etc
  • A new conditional grant that is less restrictive
    to provinces has been proposed
