Summary of recommendations for South Africa from the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) 2011 review.

This project set out to develop a tool with which to monitor and evaluate the progressive realisation of socio-economic rights in South Africa. The aim is twofold: firstly, to move towards an agreement on what progressive realisation of socio-economic rights means in South Africa – to what end and over what time span – and secondly, to develop a method of monitoring and evaluating progress made to date and in the future.

The Studies in Poverty & Inequality Institute (SPII) in partnership with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), which is constitutionally obliged to report annually on the defence and advancement of the rights in the Constitution, has developed a methodology based on international best practice. The methodology combines various
approaches to monitoring socio-economic rights including policy and budget analysis and statistical indicators.

This review reflects the findings of SPII’s investigation into National and Provincial budget allocations over a 5 year period 2007/08 - 2011/12.

This policy brief provides a synopsis of the most salient discussion through the four presentations that were delivered at the Social Dialogue, which will form the foundation for future national discussions and debates.

This is the third paper published by the Social Policy Initiative (SPI) during the second half of 2022 on economic transformation.
