Nkowankowa, near Tzaneen was the site of the first workshop in
Limpopo, held at the Tivumbeni Multipurpose Centre, with fifty
participants. Again, we found that most CBOs had the required
supporting documentation and we were able to assist at least 25
organisations apply for funding in this round of the call for proposals
which closes on 14 November. From the comments and questions at the
workshop, it was clear that a lot of the attendants had problems with
the application form itself. The remainder of the workshop then
concentrated on helping attendants understand the application process
and what is required in the application form. The facilitator’s ended
the workshop by encouraging all eligible organisations to apply in this
round and all those that were not eligible in this round to get ready
for the next call for proposals.

Polokwane, in Limpopo was the site for the most recent of The Forum’s workshops on applying for funding from the (NLDTF). The workshop was hosted by the members of the Capricorn Forum and was held at the Mogolwane Centre. Representatives from over fifty organisations in the Capricorn district attended and we were pleased that at least 70% of members were in possession of the required supporting documentation. There was however a disconcerting disregard of good governance practices within organisations, which will certainly have a negative impact on their chances of successfully receiving funding from the NLDTF. Further discussion revealed that the lack of good governance practices was not intentional and more related to the practicalities of the environment they are operating in, with poor access to resources, skilled people and severely high service user numbers. We have reached agreement with members in the area to assist with skills sharing sessions on good governance in the new year to help improve the understanding and practice within member organisations.| < Prev | Next > |
