Towns Action Network

Africa

The ‘May Gathering’ for the Changemaker Towns Network was convened by the Western Cape Economic Development Partnership (EDP), In Transformation Initiative, Citeplan/ Restaurare, Democracy Works, Ranyaka and Kagiso Trust. A diverse group of over 80 people from across South Africa joined, including changemakers from local partnerships, CEO’s, researchers, mayors, and residents.

 

Highlights included:

  • ‘Popcorn’ updates by changemakers and local partnerships from Cederberg, Paarl, Oudtshoorn, Mount Frere and Accountability Lab
  • Launch of support tools – Interactive Map, Offers and Needs catalogue and research repository (uKESA)
  • Guidance on enabling township economies of small towns, from a study of Rammulotsi (Viljoenskroon) in the northern Free State.
  • Small Towns Regeneration Strategy process and updates on the strategy from the Department of Cooperative Governance (CoGTA)
