Lottery Crisis : Impact for NGOs
Media Release
In the
past week, there has been much concern amongst civil society
organisations about the impact of the appointment of the new lottery
operator on grant disbursements for funded organisations. The main
concerns raised have centred around whether existing grant
agreements will be honoured, about the legitimacy of the recent call
for proposals and what will happen to the existing pool of money
earmarked for distribution but not yet distributed.
These concerns are legitimate, especially given the absence of a
call for proposals in 2005 and other administrative delays in
distributing funds to beneficiary organisations. Nonetheless, it is
important to note that the appointment or selection of the lottery
operator should not have an immediate short-term affect on the
distribution of funds to civil society organisations (or NGOs as
they are more commonly referred to). This is because the
responsibility of distributing funds for good causes vests with the
Distributing Agencies, which receives administrative support from
the National Lotteries Board for this purpose.
The
Act describes that main function of the distribution agencies as to
“distribute the allocated sum(s) fairly and equitably amongst all
persons who meet the prescribed requirements”.
As far
as we can ascertain from the Lotteries Act (No.57 of 1997), there
are no legitimate grounds or reasons for the functioning of the DA’s
to cease nor are there any grounds for the administrative support
functions of the Central Applications Office to cease.
Therefore it is safe to assume that existing grant agreements will
be honoured, applications made within the current year will be
adjudicated and civil society organisations will continue to receive
the support of the funding available from the NLDTF. Failure to
honour existing grant agreements would amount to a breach of
contract. The distribution agencies can continue with their task of
distributing money so long as there is sufficient funding in the
NLDTF.
It is therefore not anticipated that there would be any direct
impact in the immediate short-term. The impact in the longer-term
would depend on a number of factors, including:
-
How long it would take to appoint the operator? The lack of
income due to the lack of and operator would reduce the income
to the NLDTF.
-
How much money is currently available to the different
distribution agencies in the Fund? It has been reported that the
Minister of Trade and Industry said there is a year's worth of
reserve funding available.
-
How much funding has already been committed to organisations
through the distribution process? The distributing agencies may
have committed funds to organisations which are only transferred
at a later time. These agreements will have to be honoured in
the normal course of business.

International Statement of Ethical
Principles in Fundraising
On 16 October 2006, in
Noordwijkerhout, Netherlands, Twenty-four countries (Argentina,
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Hong
Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Republic of Korea, Netherlands, New
Zealand, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States)
approved the
International Statement of Ethical Principles in Fundraising, the
culmination of four years of international dialogue.
This is an historic moment
of which fundraisers can be rightfully proud, marking the occasion
of the first formal document governing fundraising activity
worldwide.
The meeting was
the fourth International Summit, commencing in Toronto in 2003 and
concluding in Noordwijkerhout in the Netherlands in 2006. It is the
purpose of this Statement of Ethical Principles to foster the growth
of a worldwide fundraising community.
Fundraisers work in many varied fields, countries and circumstances.
They share several fundamental values and practices. They work to
make the world a better place.
It is for these reasons that fundraisers strive to identify and
employ best ethical practices which will build public trust and
encourage philanthropy.
The document identifies five key principles: honesty, respect,
integrity, empathy and transparency.
It is expected that
fundraisers adhering to the International Statement will, first and
foremost, adhere to the most rigorous interpretation of the law, and
of the Code of Ethics of their own membership associations.
The six areas of responsibility address donations, stakeholders,
communications, reporting, payments and national laws.
Standards for each of these areas are elablorated in the Statement.
Over the next three months [up to 1 February 2007] ratification will
be undertaken by the participating national associations.

Why SAGA Closed
Earlier this year ‘The Southern African Grantmakers’ Association
(SAGA) announced its closure. SAGA started out with high ideals
connected to funding issues for South Africa's development
post-1994, but was not successful in achieving collaboration on
issues that affected the sector and finally closed due to lack of
funding support. SAIF is sorry that SAGA has closed. A closer
professional association could have proved a very useful forum for
facilitating an exchange of ideas between donors and beneficiaries,
but it was not to be. A report on why SAGA closed can be found on
www.civicus.org or

Brief Guide to Aid Agencies -
An essential tool
for those targeting donor funds in Africa
The SAP for the CAR
will involve the IMF together with the WB's IDA and this will entail
SME promotion with support from the AEF of the IFC and the PSU of
the AfDB with TA from the APDF and managerial assistance from AMSCO
... and all this ASAP!!!
Would you know what this meant? Every year, companies have access to
over US$ 6 billion in the form of supply of goods, works and
consultancy services to Africa through funding by the multilateral
donor agencies such as the World Bank, the African Development Bank
and the European Union. Many companies are missing out on these
opportunities and often the reason is a lack of knowledge about the
various institutions and how to access these funds.
Africa Project Access and Whitehouse & Associates have realised the need for managers to familiarise
themselves with the relevant acronyms and terminology that
constitute 'development speak' if they are going to take advantage
of donor funding. With the launch of the third edition of the
popular publication Brief Guide to Aid Agencies, they hope to assist
companies fill some of the knowledge gap on donors and development
finance institutions. In a new and user-friendly electronic
format (Adobe Pdf), the Guide provides a practical introduction
to doing business with the international donor community. With over
300 pages, the guide profiles more than 180 agencies active in
Africa.
The Donor Guide is priced at
ZAR 795.00 (+ VAT where applicable) and is available for

World Youth Organizations:
Invitation to a World Youth Conference to be Held In USA.
An email is doing the rounds promising all
participants free flights and accommodation to attend an HIV/AIDS

Website given as

legitimate, however, all the email addresses (for both hotels and
the conference secretariat) are either hotmail or yahoo addresses.
There is no registration form and the “Pre-registration” asks for
passport and visa details (together with the normal personal and

Scam Warning from major
banks -
South
Africa’s major banks have issued a serious warning to customers
against a new scam that has surfaced recently.
Miscreants are depositing worthless/irregular cheques into
customers accounts where after they will inform the respective
customer that the payment in his/her account originated from SARS or
Eskom and that such payment was made in error.
Customers must be vigilant and exercise extreme caution when
receiving requests to repay funds that were credited to their
account in error, especially if the payment originated from a cheque
deposit.
Fraudsters are continually inventing new and ingenious methods to
defraud the working public and the use of fraudulent re payment
requests is one such method

organisations are alerted to another banking scam. If you receive a

Scam
Warning - Heath Foundation
Yet another
Scam! We are grateful to SAIF Member, Gordon McDonald, Director
Ubuntu Community Chest, KZN for bringing this matter to our
attention.
It begins:
"Dearly Beloved,
On behalf of the Trustees and Executors of the late British Prime
Minister estate, Sir Edward Richard George Heath, KG. Foundation. I
wish to notify you that the late Sir Edward Heath made you a
beneficiary to his (will), he bequeathed the sum of Seven Hundred
and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars Only (US$750,000.00), to
you in the codicil and last testament to his (will)...etc."
Do not reply or send your details to the Heath Foundation.
1. There is no Edward Heath Foundation at the London based
address given in the e-mail.
2. The email is a hotmail address
3. The amount is in US$ yet it is supposedly from England
and you would expect it to be in British Pounds
4. The lawyers details are not provided.
5. The written English is a bit strange and not of the
standard expected from a British Institution.
Be careful.
