NPIs and households decreased from R374.403 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R363.233
million in 2022/23 due to reclassification of Social Relief of Distress and Sanitary Dignity Towels from
households to goods and services in accordance with the National Treasury (NT) Classification Circular 21
of 2018. In 2023/24, budget for transfers to NPIs and households increases by 4.4 per cent from R363.233
million to R379.175 million due to additional funds received for Social Behavioural Change, Gender-Based
Violence (GBV) Awareness and funds to address cost pressures within transfer payments.
