(b) The Provincial Departments of Social Development are currently at different phases of funding the NPOs. The provinces implement a combination of unit costs and programme funding in the financing of services rendered by non-profit organisations (NPOs). Some provinces have been providing a per capita rate for most of the subsidised programmes based on the number of beneficiaries serviced. The subsidy, which is based on the available resources, covers the overall costs of the service including administration, human resources and goods and services.
It is therefore difficult to provide a breakdown in respect of expenditure for (i) administartion and (ii) core service delivery.
