▼ South Africa has a growing number of orphans and other children made vulnerable by the scourge of HIV and AIDS. Like many other countries in Africa and globally, the fight against this pandemic has been ongoing. Not only have there been interventions to stop the spread of the disease and provide education on preventive measures, but the country has the responsibility to take care of the orphans and ensure that their needs are met as enshrined in the Bill of Rights of the South African Constitution. Some interventions are mandated by the United Nations’ (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child and other treaties and declarations that are vital to children. The South African government also has its own strategies to deal with the effects of the pandemic. One such initiative is the establishment and funding of school-based programmes for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). The study investigated the effectiveness of this programme within three schools in Ntuzuma G-section, which is situated in the eThekwini Region in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal. The study employed non-probability sampling procedures. Interviews were conducted with the OVC coordinator in the Pinetown district of the Department of Education, principals and OVC coordinators at the three schools, and OVC caregivers/foster parents at home. Guided by Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecosystems theory of child development, the results of the study suggest that this initiative is not effective in addressing the needs of OVC. It was established that orphans come to schools with psychological and developmental challenges which the programme fails to address. Emerging data suggest a lack of efficient and effective planning, proper allocation of funding and proper monitoring strategies in implementing this programme. The lack of training of OVC coordinators in schools to ensure the effective running of the programme is also cause for concern. They also lack support from the district office to ensure the sustainability of the programme. Hence, while the study acknowledges that such programmes are a worthwhile government initiative centred on the concept of ‘ubuntu’ (humanism), it is also recognised that a lack of proper systems and processes compromise quality service delivery. Without a conducive environment, it becomes challenging for the OVC Coordinators to respond appropriately, particularly because the nutrition programme is not the schools’ traditional role. Based on Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecosystems theory of child development, it is recognized that the socio-economic challenges associated with the escalating rate of OVC are structural and systemic; hence, schools should collaborate with other social actors such as families, churches, communities, health agencies, non-profit organizations, and government departments to build OVC’s resilience and bring about genuine development. This approach is also likely to result in a paradigm shift in the schools’ OVC programme from institutionalized to community care and support initiatives. Therefore this study recommends… Advisors/Committee Members: Marks, Monique. (advisor), Thabethe, Nompumelelo Cynthia. (advisor).

▼ Enabling a community with the community based co-operatives for poverty alleviation is a need which has to be given urgent attention. This study examines how community based co-operatives can be an alternative form of economic development in the Inanda, Ntuzuma and KwaMashu area. The objectives of the study were: to investigate the impact of Agricultural and Multipurpose Secondary Co-operatives within the INK (Inanda, Ntuzuma and KwaMashu) area of the eThekwini Municipality, which is situated within the province of KwaZulu-Natal, and to draw lessons from the Kenyan co-operative models so as to improve the function of co-operatives within the INK area. A qualitative and quantitative method was used to garner rich information of on how co-operatives operate in INK area and in Kenya give credibility to the sustainable livelihood approach. In this study, the meaning of community development was developed for the understanding of the community's socio-economic life improvement promotion. The study find that despite the important role played by co-operatives worldwide, agricultural co-operatives are experiencing challenges among others lack of access to the land by co-operatives members, lack of access to market, lack of access to finance, lack of knowledge about co-operatives, lack of business skills and lack of infrastructural facilities. Due to these challenges facing co-operatives, the government recommended the eThekwini Municipality and the KwaZulu Natal Provincial Department of Agriculture for funding and other necessaries support to ensure that co-operative development is sustainable in INK. The findings of this study suggest that while the INK Agricultural and Multipurpose Secondary Co-operatives have been there for some time but very little has been done hence the unification of the five associations from the District Farmer's Association in the eThekwini Municipality as a strategy to improve their households' socio-economic situation. Evidence from the Kenyan agricultural co-operatives can be replicated in other developing countries such as South Africa to eradicate failures in the co-operative sector and ensure that they flourish and succeed.

▼ Poverty remains a global challenge, particularly in developing countries like South Africa, where there is an increase in the total number of people affected by urban poverty. Despite economic growth and numerous poverty alleviation programmes, the urban poor in South Africa experience high levels of poverty, exacerbated by inequality, unemployment, macroeconomic policies and global politics. The magnitude of poverty is highlighted by poor access to housing, water and sanitation, electricity, health care and education. The latest Census report shows that 13.6 percent of people live in informal settlements in South Africa, 1.3 million households have no access to piped water and 8,242,924 people living in 748,597 households have no toilet at all (Statistics South Africa, 2011). The primarily objective of this study was to understand people’s understanding of poverty in the community of Makause – an informal settlement situated in Primrose (Germiston), Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. A purposive sample of 32 participants was selected and field data were collected over a period of two months using in-depth interviews, observations, focus group discussions, documentary reviews and participatory learning and action processes (social maps and ranking). A combination of data collection methods was employed in order to explore different perspectives. This methodology was used to explore poverty and the survival strategies employed by poor urban households in the Makause community within the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach. The framework creates space for local people to explore their own views in relation to the conceptualisation of poverty and its impact, and to examine their survival strategies based on available assets in their community. Emerging data illustrate that people’s livelihoods in the community of Makause were adversely affected by forced removals. While the new community of Tsakane was better off in terms of access to basic resources and better quality housing, the people of Makause preferred their informal settlement with its limited resources and services. It was established that, while people were exposed to crime, homelessness, poor health, and a lack of water and sanitation, etc., the community of Makause is physically closer to amenities and job opportunities. Moreover, people have lived in Makause for many years; thus strong social capital exists in the community. Therefore, the case of Makause depicts poverty as a paradox in a context where people have learnt to live with uncertainty and messiness in the eyes of outsiders. This situation depicts poverty as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon in a context of vulnerability. The findings further suggest that people resist top-down development even when it is accompanied by the promise of a better life. Active community participation is required to tackle the correlation between underdevelopment and poverty. Overall, the study indicates that perceptions of poverty in Makause relate to a lack of access to basic needs such as proper housing,… Advisors/Committee Members: Thabethe, Nompumelelo Cynthia.

▼ Community participation lies at the heart of developmental programmes and policies. Unfortunately, the literature proves that many community development projects fail due to low community participation. In Namibia, the issue of low community participation is particularly associated with men distancing themselves from community projects. This study aimed at investigating underlying factors preventing participation of men in community development projects with special reference to the Okatana constituency in the Oshana region, Namibia. A phenomenological research design was used to explore participants’ experiences and perceptions of and about factors preventing participation of men in community development projects. Phenomenological design was also used to elicit meanings which participants attached to events such as those of full participation, withdrawal and non- participation in community projects. The researcher employed a semi-structured self-developed interview guide to collect data from participants. The population of this study was men and women in the Oshana region. A criterion-purposive sampling procedure was employed to select a total sample of 18 participants from four villages: Ekamba, Andambo-Mbali, Omahahi and Eshongo Respectively. A thematic content analysis technique was used to analyse data collected. The findings of the study were grouped into four main categories; Factors preventing participation of men in community development projects; Motivation for community participation; Benefits of equal community participation and Strategies to improve men’s participation in projects. The findings of this study indicated that factors preventing participation of men in community projects include socio-cultural and political barriers, as well as structural and administrative barriers. Findings further revealed that community members were motivated by certain society and project related attributes which propels participation in projects. It was also found that community members were aware of the benefit that comes with equal participation of men and women in projects. The study suggested a number of strategies which could be employed to promote community participation in projects. It is recommended that development practitioners strengthen community education to create awareness of community projects. Participants also strongly recommended improvement of service delivery with a particular emphasis on resource allocation. Moreover, a recommendation for involving traditional leaders in identification as well as monitoring and evaluation of projects was made. Finally, the study recommends that replicating the same study in other regions could allow unique and varying findings across the entire country.

▼ South Africa is faced with socio-economic challenges of poverty, unemployment, health issues, drug abuse and many more. Stakeholders such as public, private sectors as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are trying to address some of these socio-economic challenges. For example, the public sector has initiated amongst other programs, an Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) to create job opportunities specifically for semi-skilled and unskilled people, private sector is offering learner-ship opportunities to newly qualified students in order to gain work experience and NGOs have initiated various community based programs where community members are assisted to make a living and being cautioned about health and other issues through awareness campaigns. This research has been initiated to try and address skills shortages that could reduce unemployment and further assist community members to make a living through starting their own businesses. The researcher has identified schools as one of the community resources that could be used to teach basic skills in the communities as schools have human and physical resources that could be utilized to teach these skills. For this research specific school subjects in particular have been identified as having the potential of transferring the theory that is taught in schools into skills which could be taught to community members. The community skills development program was a proposed tool and if is set up could try and address the skills shortages in communities. The research has been conducted focusing on school teachers teaching specific subjects as well as community development practitioners. The majority of research participants’ responses were positive about the setting up of a skills development program. Benefits for community members such as employment which could reduce poverty, crime and drug abuse were highlighted while challenges such as funding and availability of facilitators were also mentioned. A further study has been recommended to continue with specific processes of setting up this skill development program.

▼ This research is focused on Community Workers located in Southern Ireland, and their understandings and practices of resistance. It is an attempt to explore the ways in which community workers’ understandings and practices of resistance are formed and, in turn, inform their sense of identity and their responses to the wider context of community development work in Ireland today. This study is specifically located but also has wider application and relevance because of the extended international reach of neo-liberal and managerial rationalities, and their implications for politics, policy and practice. The study considers resistance in a number of inter-related ways: as a collective oppositional position (with negative and positive dimensions); a personal and/or professional value (associated with the ‘expansion of contention’); a strategy for negotiating unequal power relations (in a range of levels and spaces of power); an identity (in relation to the sustaining of ‘reflexive subjectivities’); a set of practices, (which take into account the interplay between economic, political and cultural influences); and an educational process through which practitioners assess and enact personal and professional agency. Critical theorisations of community development and of the Irish state over time, trace the ways in which neo-liberalism and managerialism has inflected community development practice and the positions of community workers and communities in that process. The study draws on James C. Scott, Gramsci, Barnes and Prior, among others, which enabled the interrogation of resistance in relation to everyday practices through engaging with ‘hidden transcripts’ and spaces. The method chosen was focus group discussions with three groups of community workers located in different counties in Southern Ireland. This method facilitated a deep discourse analysis of practitioners’ encounters with resistance in the field of community work. Key findings relate to the various interpretations of the role of resistance, practices of resistance (including current restrictions), the value of resistance work and the conditions that may be conducive to practising resistance.

▼ As a manifestation of today's unprecedentedly uneven urban agglomeration, shrinkage has become omnipresent in industrialised countries. In spite of geographical focus on urban contexts in shrinkage studies, the primary locations of acute shrinkage are rural areas that are more structurally vulnerable than urban areas. Shrinking rural areas have undergone cultural, economic, environmental and social decline associated with depopulation, and increasing numbers of them are finding their future continuity threatened. In order to explore how modern society can address rural shrinkage, this thesis investigates the dynamic multi-level social responses to rural shrinkage in post-war Japan, where shrinkage is perpetuated and taking place along with nationwide depopulation and ageing. Focusing on the process of social responses, this thesis draws upon panarchy theory from the field of evolutionary resilience as the theoretical framework. Panarchy theory regards resilience as the dynamic ability of self-transformation to adapt to changing circumstances. This thesis consists of three main parts. Firstly, it traces the development trajectory of rural shrinkage in post-war Japan and investigates the policy measures taken to deal with it. It discusses the constant trade-off of resilience between the national level and the rural regions in the counter-shrinkage policies, and their adverse effect that hampered the capability of the rural regions to autonomously promote contextualised development. It also argues the absence of policy innovation rooted in the centralised governance structure and the nostalgia for the growth period among policymaking actors. Subsequently, the thesis looks at the community-level responses to rural shrinkage through multiple case studies. Delineating the development process of the local revitalisation activities in line with the adaptation phases in panarchy theory, it illustrates the changes of the performances of the activities due to the transitions of socio-economic circumstances. It also emphasises the determinative influence of human capital in shaping the trajectories of the activities, and their impacts on the resilience of the communities, by identifying intermediate organisers and social networks as the primary drivers and apathy among community members as the major barrier. Lastly, it considers whether, and in what way, another local development approach can support the Japanese rural communities to better address shrinkage. Adopting a case study methodology, it evaluates the effectiveness of the Cittaslow (slow city) approach in rural Japan, based on the local Cittaslow practice in Italy, Germany and South Korea. It argues the high possibility of Cittaslow being reduced to a mere place-branding tool, and its limitation to address structural issues (such as shortage of local employment and youth outmigration) in Japanese shrinking communities. Offering one of the first studies framed using evolutionary resilience on rural shrinkage in Japan, this thesis represents the drawbacks of applying…

▼ This research explores community economies as a way of practicing development differently. The community economy framework has arisen out of post-development critiques which highlight how some development practices have discursively and practically created linear understandings of economic development. In contrast, the community economy framework involves highlighting the many economic practices and community assets that currently sustain people and suggests that multiple possible pathways to improved wellbeing can be imagined from these local beginnings. The approach seeks to prioritise neither local nor foreign practices, but encourages critical public discussion around which activities could be built on to improve community wellbeing. This research draws on my experiences engaging with the communities of San Miguel and Yachakay in Bolivia between March and June 2010, and contributes to the dialogue on the community economy approach as a way to practice development. I have explored how this process of negotiating research in the field affects research outcomes. Throughout the process of exploring community economies I faced a number of challenges in negotiating the research in the field. This thesis is grounded in feminist and indigenous methodological approaches that recommend the researcher seek ways to transfer power and benefits to the researched in locally relevant ways. Yet very few works address the process of negotiation required to achieve this. My experience shows that by uncovering this often glossed over process, insights can be gained into the complex ways the researched assert power in research contexts, and thus assert power over research outcomes. This research explores the viability of researching community economies within a Masters framework. My approach in San Miguel involved collecting data though semi-structured interviews, informal conversations and a reflective research journal. However my research in San Miguel was cut short. In the new location, Yachakay, I added a Participatory Action Research approach to my methodological tool kit. Other attempts to build community economies have involved significant budgets, experience and community engagement periods. While my approaches to building community economies in Bolivia were restricted by the relatively short Masters thesis timeframe, limited funding and my novice researcher status, the experience was not completely fruitless. I believe that benefits were gained both by researched and researcher through this exploration of community economies. Advisors/Committee Members: McGregor, Andrew.

The research and findings of this study focus on the idea of sustainable development at the community level and how it is implemented during the planning process. Data was collected from a range of sources including academic journals and the Government Websites of the Department of Energy and United States Environmental Protection Agency. This data, combined with a site evaluation and study of Greensburg, Kansas, a model community for sustainable development in the United States, has led to important conclusions about the process of sustainable development at the community level and the corresponding benefits that are a result of incorporating strategies of sustainability into town planning and development efforts. The goal of this study was to evaluate the best practices of introducing Sustainable Development at the community level and to uncover the important benefits and areas of difficulty that are a result of sustainable solutions. With a positive focus on Sustainable Development being seen at the local level in the United States, the hope is that strategies like this will slow the current state of rapid development that is creating environmental problems such as air pollution and natural habitat loss in cities and towns around our country. What this study has found is that with the right approaches sustainable development is a great opportunity for communities to strengthen their local environment and social landscape. This method of development, though considered to be costly and time consuming by skeptics, is actually aimed at creating benefits that last well into the future and allow for strong, healthy communities that are built to last. Education, funding, strong decision- making, and a lot of work are important keys to success. In addition to these factors; Greensburg, Kansas, following a destructive tornado in May, 2007, has shown in its mission towards Sustainable Development that the main key to successfully implementing a Sustainable Development plan is that everyone works together and residents in the community are encouraged to participate and get involved. This approach creates an environment where everyone is working together to reach a common goal and constant enthusiasm is generated.

▼ Research in the area of adult education looking at constraints affecting training of programme facilitators is limited in this part of the world. The aim of the study was to identify constraints encountered by trainers in the training of programme facilitators with a view to establishing whether or not any corrective measures had been taken. A cross sectional study design was used to collect data in Solwezi, Kasempa, Mwinilunga and Kabompo. This study employed two types of sampling methods and these are expert sampling and simple random sampling. A sample of 170 respondents was drawn from a population of 700 trainers and programme managers. Qualitative data were analysed using framework analysis with the help of the NUD*IST software. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS software version 17. Since all questions measuring constraints and consequences were constructed using the ordinal scale, the questions were constructed on an eleven point Likert rating scale (1 to 11), ANOVA and univariate analysis were done. This study showed that there were constraints in the training of programme facilitators within North Western Province. In spite of these constraints, trainers were satisfied and motivated to share knowledge and skills with community members. Constraints included inadequate funding, cultural factors, and balancing work as a trainer and other work situations, human resource and trainee entry behaviors. The solutions to these constraints bordered on ensuring equity, re orienting Teaching-Learning Process- and use of multiple methods of instruction, putting in place Trainee Support Systems, enhancing capacity to cope with teaching using various strategies and ensuring mentoring. The constraints presented in this study are deeper and social cultural in nature. If the constraints are of a deeper social and cultural nature, as argued here, then there is no easy one-shot solution. One will need to look for solutions beyond the training systems in the NGO world and the main stream public service. There is need for reforms in training and programming that are context specific, that require multiple approaches and can be implemented for a long period of time. Initiatives will also have to be monitored, and the development and results will need continuous discussions, informed by evidence and careful analysis. Future research would have to be grounded in testing theoretical assumptions in order to have greater explanatory power. There is need to consider doing a comparative study on programme facilitators in order to bring out salient features of training events and the life of programme facilitators in the NGO and public sector worlds.

▼ The possible role and involvement of the Church in social development has reemerged as an important focus of contemporary academic and religious development discourse in South Africa. There are strong voices arguing for churches and other Faith-Based Organisations to be regarded as strategic in contributing to addressing the challenge of poverty as agents of social development. Yet, as church congregations multiply throughout South Africa, they appear to be less responsive to the challenge of poverty facing South African communities, contrary to the rich history of churches in the past. The need for churches to be involved in sustainable community-driven development initiatives to fight poverty in their local communities cannot be denied nor be met with just rhetoric and scholarly dissertations by theologians and academics. The vicious cycle of poverty in our communities must be eradicated as it represents a social injustice in terms of South Africa‘s Constitution and speaks to deep structural inequalities inherent in our society. Whilst researchers have made several proposals for churches to move from social welfare and relief, there appears to be little research with a clear practical strategy which congregations can implement to enhance their social service delivery role from social relief to sustainable community development. This has left a considerable gap which the current research sought to address. This study thus responds to the call by previous research for churches to implement strategies other than mere relief. Hence, this study contributes to the religious development discourse in South Africa, by developing a strategy to enhance Church-based social service delivery initiatives from social relief efforts which are not sustainable, to community development efforts which are sustainable and which will be consistent with the current social development policy context and contextually relevant to the socio-economic challenges of poverty and its consequences in South Africa. The study was conducted in two phases. During phase one, the main purpose was to gain a deeper understanding of the historical and current involvement of the Church in providing social services which address poverty in communities, to enhance understanding of the factors which influence the provision of social services by churches, as well as to understand participants views of how church-based social service delivery can be improved in order to fight poverty. For phase two, the goal was to develop a strategy to enhance church-based social service delivery from being social relief to being community development oriented. The following objectives guided the research process: To review selected and applicable literature to gain a deeper understanding of the historical and current involvement of the Church in the delivery of social services in order to fight poverty; To explore and describe the perceptions of church leaders and congregation members of the historical and current involvement of the Church in the delivery of social services in…

▼ It is paradoxically observable, in this era of hypermodernity characterized by an expansion of individualism, capitalism and economic, political and cultural globalization, an increasing importance of the concept of community. It is necessary to understand the relationship between corporations and communities, mainly in a market-led world. While corporations have been gaining power since the advent of modern society, communities have been losing their autonomy and becoming more and more dependent on exogenous actors such as state and corporations. This dissertation has four objectives. It allows the examination of the relationship between the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation’s Bleu, Blanc, Bouge (BBB) program, CSR and: 1) the three environments that constitute a community (i.e. cultural, social and spatial); 2) social identity; 3) solidarity; 4) agency. From a theoretical point of view, this research is important because it responds two criticisms that can be made in the areas of CSR and community development. Unlike studies in the area of CSR, this research does not aim to understand the impact of these programs on business, but rather on the community as a whole. From a community point of view, this study goes beyond the bottom-up paradigm and critical theories towards the private sector in an attempt to understand the influence that this sector can have on the community and its development through CSR initiatives. In order to meet the initial objectives, this research is based on a qualitative case study methodology: the BBB program. Three communities having obtained this program will be studied. Data collection was done through a method of semi-structured interviews with local actors and administrators of the foundation. The questions were about the development of the BBB project and its acquisition process by the communities, the cultural, social and built environments of the communities, and about the management strategies of the facility. Findings allowed us to understand that the Montreal Canadiens Children’s foundation is positively perceived by the local communities because of its closeness with the professional hockey team that is an important figure in the social landscape of Montreal and that was helping local communities long before the creation of its foundation. As for the BBB program, results show that its success is reliant on the fact that it follows the proven strategies of community development such as answering a local need and mobilizing multiple local actors. However, findings also put forward that some negative impacts can occur from this project such as the enhancement of resources in order to manage the facility. With regard to the cultural, social and spatial environments that constitute a community, findings show that the BBB program easily integrates the local cultural environment, but also provokes some changes in the local cultures. As for the spatial environment, the BBB program allows the receiving communities to propose a high-quality equipment to their population that… Advisors/Committee Members: Karlis, George (supervisor).

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)

This study uses narrative analysis to investigate public communication efforts of community development groups to provide a richer understanding of the indicators of group success or failure in this context. The subjects are participants of the Indiana HomeTown Competitiveness program, an initiative that seeks to develop local economic capacity to move rural communities beyond outdated economic models and generate more innovative, sustainable community development. Indiana HomeTown Competitiveness emphasizes four points: entrepreneurship, leadership, youth engagement, and local wealth or philanthropic giving. The impetus for this study is the pilot program’s need for a better understanding of the manner in which participating groups might generate engagement from external community members. To better understand the groups’ success or failure regarding public communication efforts, instances of seven pre-determined themes derived from narratives provided by group members are investigated. The themes, identified by existing research, include group relationships, group structure, group process, member attributes, external forces, group communication, and member emotions. This study uses a blend of quantitative and qualitative analysis to give broad perspective to successful identification of effective tactics which groups may use to engage community members in economic initiatives by means of public communication. Though the study is exploratory in nature, the findings indicate that group communication, relationships, and group structure are likely predictors of a group’s success or failure. The findings of this study also offer a reflection of actions that were successful and also actions that were not successful to program participants, and documents results for future program participants to use. The results also expand upon the available research regarding community development using communication theory. Using a narrative approach also identifies directions of further study to address the multiple discourses created by groups that give insight into community and group communication.

▼ A shift has taken place in the structures of local governance in many developing countries. Whereas in the past, the central government provided local infrastructure (water and sanitation systems, roads, electricity, schools, and healthcare), today communities face these responsibilities themselves. The shift has been prompted and accompanied by changing global thoughts on appropriate development approaches and forced by difficulties in fiscal affairs. The shift matches a belief that more participation and more decentralization result in more democracy and better development. To this effect, neoliberal decentralization policies have been enacted in various countries to promote this "bottom-up" strategy. The strategy favors decision-making at the local level, through an alliance among local governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), private firms, and citizens to identify, prioritize, implement, and monitor projects. This study examines the impact of the participatory approach in two communities in Kenya-one of several East African countries to have instituted participatory development programs over the last decade. The study assesses the physical, socioeconomic, and political impact of the Local Authority Service Delivery Action Plan (LASDAP), a national development program. The findings are based on interviews conducted with government and local officials, reviews of documents, interviews with local residents, and visits to project sites within the boundaries of two local government councils: the Municipal Council of Nakuru (MCN) and Gusii County Council (GCC). Examination of the LASDAP program in Kenya suggests that despite the ideological fervor that often accompanies this development approach, program outcomes failed to measure up. Very little of the development funds were spent on the implementation of projects, local participation rates were low, and the process did not fare well at promoting greater transparency and accountability within local governance structures. Furthermore, local power dynamics were simply too strong, too complicated, and too intertwined to be inconsequential to the development process. As a result of these shortcomings, residents have developed an attitude of resignation rather than enthusiasm, with participation. In the conclusion, technical solutions are recommended for addressing the key problems encountered within these two communities' development processes. However, this research finds that achieving long-lasting solutions to these communities' social ills will require both a technical and sociopolitical approach to development. A sociopolitical approach is required because elite capture of the development process has not only resulted in an unequal distribution of new resources, but also continues to reinforce the norm of inequality. Prior development programs did not fare any better. Thus, addressing the underlying issues of social justice and unequal power will demand that the development process be politicized, and not simply be… Advisors/Committee Members: Goldsmith, William W (chair), Olpadwala, Porus D (committee member), Makki, Fouad M (committee member).

▼ Community Based Learning (CBL) is a pedagogy that h as been fast tracked by the South African government as a means to make universities more relevant to local communities and assist with development initiatives sorely need ed across the country. The approach is also gaining popularity in its own right in institu tions of higher education in South Africa. But the issues of entering and working with communities are complex, and become even more complex when the students placed in local communities are international students. The purpose of this study was to explore the CBL programme of the School for International Training (SIT) in Wentworth, Durban and to identify the benefits and challenges to the community from the perspective of the community. A qualitative, descriptive design was used to garner rich informat ion of the perceptions and experiences of community members involved in the CBL programme. The study employed purposive, convenience sampling to select community members wh o have been involved as community workers or homestay families so as to ‘illuminate’ the research question. Personal interviews and focus groups were conducted with these community members. Content analysis was done on the data generated and to ensure credibility, data triangulation was done using a field journal and st udent reflection papers from selected semesters of the CBL programme. The overall findings indicate that the Community Ba sed Organizations (CBOs) and the homestay families did benefit from the programme. T he organizations did not want the ‘help’ of the students, and found their dwelling on service as patronizing. The community appreciated its dual roles of being teachers and le arners: with organizations in particular having their experience and knowledge affirmed as t eachers of Community Development (CD). The community believed that students could be strong role models for local youth. The presence of the students within the community a lso led to an increased interest within the community of Coloured history, culture and iden tity. In terms of CBL the presence of the students led to an increase in volunteerism amo ngst homestay families and other families wanting to host students in the future. The programme also led to a substantive, if brief, increase in the goodwill between the often feuding community organizations of Wentworth. Finally, there was also lingering hope t hat the students and SIT as an institution would deliver better prospects for families and organizations such as funding, building networks and lasting personal relationship s. The community also noted costs to the interactions, mainly in the form of inappropriate behaviour of some students, both in homestays and within the community in general. These included ethnocentric behaviour as well as the use of drugs and alcohol. These were cited as negatively affecting the impressionable youth of Wentworth. The study concludes that benefits do accrue to the community, but the relationships within the programme need to be nurtured and the whole initiative… Advisors/Committee Members: Kaye, Sylvia.
