Community Development Planning for Non-Specialists

Public Sector and Municipal Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Community Development Planning for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through public participation and consequence management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because officials are held personally accountable under legislation many have never been trained on, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with grant management, supply chain compliance in government and records management in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring grant management into line with current good practice, measured against the MFMA
Make a decision about supply chain compliance in government without waiting for a specialist
Take ownership of records management rather than escalating it
