Impumelelo's Best-Practice Workshop Coming to the Northern Cape

South Africa’s Best and Brightest Ideas in Social Development Coming to Kimberley!

[Cape Town, 3 November 2009] The Impumelelo Innovations Award Trust team will be hosting one of their coveted best-practice workshops in Kimberley, on the 13th of November at the William Humphrey’s Art Gallery at 9am.

Top Impumelelo award-winners from across the country, who have found solutions to public problems in areas like urban agriculture, housing, sanitation, waste management, and environmental education, will be presenting their work to public managers in the Northern Cape. Members of the media, municipal and governmental practitioners, including NGOs, are invited to attend to learn from these exemplary examples of public service.

The Northern Cape is an often-neglected region, and the province that has yielded the least number of applicants for the annual Impumelelo Innovations Awards, who celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. As a result, Impumelelo Executive Director, Rhoda Kadalie notes that “Impumelelo is bringing our expertise we have unearthed through our award cycle to the people responsible for delivery of basic services in the province. We aim to encourage replication of best-practice by cross pollinating models that have proven to work in areas of need”.

If you are interested in attending this workshop, please contact Chris Mingo on 021 424 6360 or email chris at impumelelo dot org dot za.
