Community Development

The Community Development Department`s mandate is to promote effective and meaningful empowerment of communities for sustainable development. The Department focuses on empowering communities to be self-reliant, self-sustaining, resilient and prosperous. It aims at tackling and eradicating all forms of poverty, eliminating the obtaining dependency syndrome in our communities who have relied on hand outs for their survival and this is done through capacity building to participate in sustainable and inclusive development initiatives. In order to achieve this, the Department mobilises communities and development actors to participate in various economic and social programmes aimed at alleviating the cycle of poverty.
