The National Development Agency (NDA) has called on civil society organisations (CSOs) to submit proposals for the agency\u2019s Volunteer Programme.<\/p>\n
The CSOs, which include non-profit organisations (NPOs) and co-operatives, will provide volunteers who will work in communities, particularly townships and rural areas, in all 52 districts across the country, as a response to the effects of COVID-19 on poor communities.<\/p>\n
The NDA\u2019s Volunteer Programme is part of the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme. <\/p>\n
In a statement issued on Wednesday, NDA spokesperson, Lonwabo Ganelo, said the agency wishes to partner with 100 CSOs, including NPOs and co-operatives, who will in turn provide and manage a total of 2 300 volunteers in the districts around the country. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is in line with the District Development Model\/Khawuleza, which aims to improve the coherence and impact of government service delivery, with a focus on 44 districts and eight metros around the country as development spaces that can be used as centres of service delivery and economic development, including job creation,\u201d Ganelo said.<\/p>\n
The appointed volunteers will be paid a stipend of R1 800 per month, whilst the CSOs will receive a monthly management fee of R5 000.<\/p>\n
The role of the volunteers includes:<\/p>\n
\u2022\tSupport Social Security Agency (SASSA), with intake of the R350 Social Relief of Distress Grant, particularly in rural areas.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tFacilitate advocacy to upscale vaccination drive in communities.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tGather data on vaccination uptake within the CSO sector at district level, in alignment with the District Development Model.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tGather data on R350 access within communities and impact of these interventions in their households.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tFacilitate behavioural change in communities for compliance to COVID-19 protocols.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tFacilitate referrals to SASSA to resolve challenges of accessing R350 grants and other grants. <\/p>\n
