“The intention on the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out into a large quantity of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.

The support point established for here intervention activities a higher inflow of likely beneficiaries, which makes it hard to the office to attend to all people who check out a service point.

“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise extra sources to permit the servicing of all prospects and improve entry to Social Assistance products and services,” the agency said.
