FAIR SHARE Fair Share is a unit of the School of Government, at the University of the Western Cape. Within the School of Government s broad vision of fostering democratic and effective governance, Fair Share assists civil society organisations to participate in municipal governance. The focus of 15

17 our work is to strengthen the capacity of communities to participate effectively in municipal planning and budgeting processes. Meaningful participation of communities in municipal planning and budgeting processes has been a key focus of Fair Share s programmes since its inception. Through its two main programmes, i.e. the Certificate in Economic Development and the Local Government Partnership Programme, Fair Share has developed various capacity building interventions for communities, community organisations, ward committees, municipal councillors, municipal officials and a broad range of non-governmental organisations including trade unions. Programmes Local Economic Development (LED) The Local Economic Development Programme is aimed at strengthening the capacity of community leaders and local officials to play a meaningful role in local governance. It is presented as a qualification as well as separate stand-alone course. The programme is at National Qualification Framework Level 5. Higher Certificate in Economic development (HCED) The HCED is an accredited programme offered at National Qualifications Framework Level 5. It was designed to meet the demand for street economists who are able to assist the organizations to participate in the economic development processes of their communities. The HCED is an in-depth programme delivered over a period of one year. The HCED is offered through both an on-site learning as well as a distance education model utilizing adult education principles and methods. Participants are required to apply their learning in their community and organisational contexts. Participants are recruited from all provinces. Most of our participants are from communitybased organizations, non-governmental organizations and from municipalities. Advanced Diploma in Public Administration The ADPA is a South African Qualification Authority (SAQA) accredited qualification at National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level 6. The ADPA is aimed at those already working in government, municipalities and development organisations in South Africa and other developing countries. It is targeted in particular at those who aspire to advance to senior positions within govwernment, municipalities and development sectors. Research and Publications Our main publication is Partnership in Action. This publication is used for among other things to share with our partners and communities the valuable insights and lessons we made from working with communities. It is produced quarterly and highlights our collective reflection of our work. 16
