Utilization of funds from Government

• Government through NCS will endeavor to fund the National Associations Programs and framework within which their outputs can be measured.
• NCS will argue recipients of funds to indicate the added value that they have achieved in relation to their sport and recreation activities.
• NCS recognizes that it has to allocate public funds entrusted to it in a manner that promotes effectiveness, efficiency, economy, equity, development and excellence in sport and recreation. There should be value for investment.
• NCS will demand and enforce compliance to acceptable standards of administration from recipients of Government funding, as opposed to dependence on hand-outs.
• NCS will encourage creativity and self-reliance on the part of the National Associations.
• Since the NCS/Government cannot continue the practice of stretching the limited budget to both the top and bottom ends of all the national sport and recreation codes, not all sports programs will be funded.
• NCS is mindful of the need for financial resources in sport and recreation. The state sport/recreation partnership, resulting in sport and recreation forums at national, district and local levels, unlocks all the financial resources government can make available to sport and recreation
