The primary idea (under the umbrella of the National Development Facilitation Network) isto collectively facilitate and streamline local based economic activities & initiatives to givesubstance to the broad AIMS of the National Development Plan. This therefore calls forrigorous mobilisation of various stakeholders and communities

The implementation is achieved through setting up of Local Community Development Hub(s)mainly in the Rural Areas and or Informal Settlements of the various municipalities (Metro,District and Local). The support of Local Authority is key to ensure the success of this initiative(Mayor, Council and the relevant designated departments in the Municipality, Traditionalleadership).

The Local Community Development Hub will comprise a number of community basedprimary cooperatives that are effectively organised and project managed to achieve economicoutcomes of the National Development Plan (arranged in a sectorial fashion)

Unemployed Graduates play a pivotal role in augmenting the capacity of the initiative andtheir involvement is managed in an internship programme monitored by the SETAs and DHET

Members of the community are the primary beneficiaries of the programme and their involvement is steered andfocused through registering them into Primary Cooperatives. In order to maximise member participation theNational Development Facilitation Programme prefers keeping the membership of each Cooperative to 5 (max)

Stage One: An open Community Briefing Session is held to explain the intent and to register interest (membersof the community) – max 1 Hour 30 min

Stage Two : The second meeting is held with a view of conducting a Skills Audit (Baseline Skills Profile,to establish what competencies do exist within the local community).

Stage Three: Group the community members into skills based nuclei which will naturally develop to become theactual Cooperatives. Various compatibility parameters such as relationships, geographical proximity,passion, age, gender, and others shall be considered. Explore commissioning a designed andcompatible Membership Register/ Database System

Stage Four: Facilitate the Cooperative registration at CIPC. [NB: Explore possibilities for the LED Unit tosponsor cooperative registration process]

Stage Five: Programme Implementation (with specific evaluation and monitoring features)
