- description:
- Engagement with beneficiaries and their representative bodies was also a good practice. Whilst the project at the design stage intended to develop a social security system for those in the informal sector, including domestic workers, continuous engagement with the intended beneficiaries and their representative bodies during implementation revealed that sections of the informal sector were already catered for in existing policy instruments (UIF, COIDA and maternity leave) and the gap was translating provisions into benefits. This led to:
• The development of a joint advocacy agenda and platform of demands relating to the implementation of UIF and COIDA from three membership-based organisations of domestic workers – the South African Domestic and Allied Workers Union (SADSAWU), the United Domestic Workers Union of South Africa (UDWOSA), and Izwi Domestic Workers Alliance;
• The development of a joint advocacy agenda and platform of demands relating to maternity benefits and pensions for self-employed informal workers from 5 sectors – home-based workers, street vendors, waste pickers and fisher folk; and
• Uptake of self-employed workers’ demands on the maternity benefit by the South African Law Reform Commission Project 143 on Maternity Benefits for Self-Employed Workers in their recommendations to the Minister of Justice.
