In
response to Peter Bailey's Post-it on the Strategic
use of SLAs for Organisational Change and Development
13 August 2002.
Some related examples from Khanya
- Managing Rural Change:
We
have used the SL framework to structure the development plan
for a city, and the business plan for the local government
- plan available from Teboho Maine maine@civic.mangaungcity.co.za
- as a result one of the key programmes is community resilience
and self-reliance - specifically responding to vulnerability,
micro-macro links incorporated into the process (community-based
planning) etc. The priorities of clients were obtained from
the CBP process, that developed the vision and goals for the
organisation.
In Lesotho District, Economic Strategies have been developed
as the basis for a change management programme for the Mininstry
of Agriculture to identify what services the clients needed,
and so the traininf for staff etc. They did not use SLA (intervention
was prior) but could easily have, and the use would be the
same. Contact apcbp@email.co.ls
or rupertw@email.co.ls.
In Uganda we used livelihoods analysis with the Forestry Secretariat
to understand clients, their assets and preferred outcomes,
how forestry could be relevant to those, and what services
might be of relevance. From this the Forestry Secretariat
has developed pilots for forestry extension - so not for the
whole organisation, but part. Contact Mike Harrison at MikeH@ugandaforests.org.
The methodology is also available on our website www.khanya-mrc.co.za
CARE South Africa are using household livelihood security
analysis to help NGOs to understand poverty and their clients,
as part of a civil society strengthening programme called
SCAPE. Contact Penny Ward at pjward@netactive.co.za.
