CAMFED IMPACT REPORT An analysis and understanding of poverty and power within the microcosm of the community is crucial to Camfed’s power-sharing model. There are different levels of poverty that affect people’s day-to-day lives and their ability to demand accountability from government services. Above all, it is the poverty of rural girls and women that defines the social fabric, as they make do and mend for their families and communities. Change requires that the poorest and most disempowered social groups gain the recognition, platforms and training that are the crucial precursors of a more accountable and effective education system. At district level, Camfed establishes democratically constituted Community Development Committees (CDCs), which unite stakeholder groups. CDC members work on a voluntary basis and contribute community leadership on the goals of expanding girls’ education and empowering young adult women. Camfed provides training and support to CDC members and other volunteers in governance structures and methods; it also provides technological support to facilitate communication between stakeholders, and knowledge-sharing, program management and monitoring in the field. Camfed begins its work in each country by building partnerships with the national government and establishing a mutual understanding of purpose from the outset. Emphasizing this complementarity of goals is the basis for a highly cooperative engagement at national level, and opens the gateway to provincial, district and community cooperation. These reciprocal partnerships from national to community level constitute the most direct and efficient two-way channel for pursuing policy engagement and local action. As a social entrepreneurial organization, Camfed seeks innovative solutions to problems that conventional approaches alone cannot solve. Camfed’s model of inclusive power-sharing represents a paradigm shift beyond the conventional dynamics of partnerships with rural communities. By placing a high degree of responsibility over decisions, strategies and resources in the hands of the local community, Camfed ensures that the people own a system that is seen to be transparent, responsive and accountable. Only a model founded on demonstrable public trust and proven reliability will win the degree 10
INTRODUCTION of confidence required for systemic change across local communities. A direct result of Camfed’s power-sharing approach can be seen in the levels of volunteer activism in program areas: • 56,387 volunteer community activists are working in partnership with Camfed to deliver the program. • 77 Community Development Committees (CDCs) are operating in each of 77 poor rural districts. Camfed’s approach of engaging with girls’ education within the social context of their whole lives launches a virtuous cycle of change for girls that, in turn, generates further virtuous cycles for communities and nations. Camfed defines systemic change as policy change at the national level, and as a profound and lasting transformation in the lives of the poorest social groups, which includes their capability to demand better and more accountable government and NGO services.
