In anticipation of a second round of parliamentary hearings on the Fundraising Amendment Bill, the NCOP’s Health & Social Services Committee has issued a notice calling for written submissions by 9 June 2023.

Tabled in 2020 and eventually passed by the National Assembly nearly two years later, once operationalised the Bill will create a ‘Disaster Relief and National Social Development Fund’ by consolidating the following:

• the Disaster Relief Fund
• the Refugee Relief Fund
• the Social Relief Fund, and
• the State President’s Fund.

According to a memorandum on the Bill’s objects, this is expected to enable fund administrators to:

• focus on proactive disaster mitigation
• streamline administrative processes
• reduce costs, and
• deliver ‘more efficient services to poor communities’.
