30 June 2022 - NW1840
Opperman, Ms G to ask the Minister of Social Development
What amount has her department budgeted for (a) psychosocial support and (b) gender-based violence victim support in the Northern Cape?
Reply:
a) There is no specific budget allocated for psychosocial support. The psychosocial support budget is included in the overall allocation of the Gender Based Violence (GBV) which amounts to R 8 138 000, 00. This amount includes the provincial as well as district goods and services budgets.
b) An amount of R 1 904 000,00 has been allocated as a transfer allocation to NGO’s for the provision of GBV services. The total budget allocation for GBV services rendered by the Department of Social Development in Northern Cape is therefore R 10 042 000, 00.
