(Bloomberg) — The World Bank said South Africa could consider a range of reforms to its 156 billion rand ($15 billion) annual welfare program.
The country could consider a job-seekers grant, community works progams or differentiating child support payments so that the poorest families get additional support, the World Bank said in a report released Thursday.
A job-seekers grant, set at 350 rand a month, could cost 16.2 billion rand a year, it said.
