  • PROGRAMME RATIONALE

    A cornerstone for the success of the National Development Plan is the mobilisation of diverse stakeholders at the various levels of society to build momentum towards the creation and implementation of integrated development plans that are aligned with the National Developmental priorities.

    Achieving this will require the enormous task of mobilising people within the diverse communities throughout the nation. It is for this reason that there is a desperate need to build the capacity of a cadre of energetic and focused Community Development Workers who will be able to collect information, build relationships and mobilise energies towards specific developmental goals that can be delivered in a conducive and sustainable environment.
    The work is being done by volunteers and public servants who have only limited exposure to the long term impacts of a sustainable developmental approach and who lack the broad theoretical basis and specific practical skills required to create real sustainability and focus around the various initiatives.

    This qualification will provide the means through which this cadre can be capacitated and it will enable these critical employees to embark on a career path locally and globally. The qualification will provide opportunities for people into entry level types of occupations in the Department of Social Development and with a range of Non-Governmental Organisations. It will also create opportunities for successful learners to enter the private sector in organisations which do community work in terms of the various industry charters.

    The learners credited with this qualification would include people interested or involved in community development practice and/or initiatives in one or more of the following sectors:
    > Traditional, Local, Provincial and Central Government.
    > Social Development.
    > Youth Development.
    > Education (formal, informal and non-formal).
    > Public Works.
    > Agriculture.
    > Water Affairs and Forestry.
    > Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment.
    > Civil Society Organisations (CBOs, NGOs and FBOs, Foundations and Trusts).
    > Corporate Social Responsibility.
    > Co-operatives.

    This qualification will help learners improve their understanding of the role and responsibilities of community development workers and will enable them to acquire relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes to operate in an effective and efficient manner within the community development arena.
