Sin títuloThis report seeks to consolidate existing knowledge of SPNs and the policy formation dynamics in South Africa in order to argue for government programmes that take into account the needs of its citizens including dignified livelihoods.
Sin títuloThis submission is based on the report submitted by SPI to the United Nation’s Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (UN CESCR) on the implementation of UN CESCR’s recommendation to South Africa on the necessity of adopting a composite index on the cost of living. This submission reflects the agreed position of SPI and CHR on the development of a composite index on the cost of an adequate standard of living by South Africa.
Sin títuloThe UN CESCR Committee published its recommendations in November 2018 on South Africa’s initial report on its implementation of provisions outlined in the ICESCR and made various recommendations. This section of the report focuses on recommendation 47(a).
Sin títuloThese are the following objectives of this analysis :
- To assess the trends of key development indicators to gain a clear trajectory of
progress and growth in South Africa. - To provide a social justice perspective which puts people at the centre of development
and ensures the progressive realisation of their socio-economic entitlements. - To present a pre-COVID-19 baseline analysis. Thus highlighting how the impact of the
pandemic on worsening inequality and public service delivery should drive the
government to be more serious about aligning the post-Covid-19 recovery to the
visions of global and national blueprints for inclusive development.
