“Making a Choice for Children in South Africa”
The aim of the project is to strengthen the response of South African counterpart organisations to the needs of OVC.
The local participating organisations are:
- Save the Children UK (SC UK)
- Targeted Aids Intervention (TAI)
- South African Scouts Association (SASA)
- Catholic Institute for Education (CIE)
- Stellenbosch University
- Dance4Life
- AREPP; Theatre 4Life
- Twilight Children (TC)
- God’s Golden Acre (GGA)
- Children’s Institute (CI)
The project aims to realise its objective by:
- scaling up existing projects
- cooperation and exchange between partners
- joint investment in the development of innovative strategies
Scaling up
All participating organisations have specific funds to scale up their programmes.
Marketplace
A virtual marketplace provides the participating organisations with a platform to promote their products and services and to purchase others.
Joint Learning Project
Structured learning and collaboration can improve each partner’s interventions, and enhance the combined effect of the organisations on the well-being of children affected by the AIDS pandemic. The joint learning project will strengthen the programmes of the individual partner organisations by the exchange of information and services. Together they will develop innovative strategies which they will then implement within their own organisations.
The partnership has identified four learning tracks. An Action Learning Coordinator, working at the Catholic Institute of Education (CIE), will coordinate learning and implementation.
The content of the learning tracks, together with the Planned results are described in the following section: Learning tracks.
