Slash Ipelegeng wages,and orphan care

The World Bank report also lambasts the current model of paying for orphan care and destitutes, arguing that government should use  the rate of P86 a month per person, so that a family of four gets P344 a month. However, this model is likely to be met with resistance  as today one orphan gets P500 a month, enabling a family of four to cash P2,000 a month collectively.

The World Bank report also seems to concur that the government could face political backslash in adopting its proposed alternative programme.  The report claims only 3% of the poor are benefiting from Ipelegeng today. The World Bank report of December 2013, observes that currently the programme suffers from a poor regional allocation of its funds across regions and areas and is not self-targeted because it offers a higher wage rate than the prevailing market rate for low skilled workers.
