| dc.description.abstract | To address the conditions of poverty and underdevelopment in the country, the South African government has accepted the social development approach as policy for delivery of social services. Social welfare organisations and other similar social service providers, such as faith-based organisations (FBOs), have attempted to implement this policy with varying degrees of enthusiasm and success. It has been stated that the transformation of service delivery requires a “…comprehensive reshaping of social work practice” (Green, 1999:29) to bring about the changes that people and communities need to escape the degrading conditions of poverty. In this regard social development encompasses the broad multi-dimensional concepts of planned change towards social and economic well-being, and the improvement of the quality of life for individuals, groups and communities (Billups, 1994; Pandey, 1981; Midgley, 1994). | |
