About MILE and the Master ClassProgrammeThe MILE Master Classes are run by professionals whoare experts in their field and are being recognised for theircontributions to their field. These experts are drawn fromeThekwini Municipality and other municipalities that may beinterested, and supplemented with academics from partnertertiary institutions. MILE aims to enhance the capacity of localgovernment practitioners in Africa at large. One of the keylearning mechanisms in achieving this goal is the MILE MasterClass – which is essentially experiential action learning. TheMaster Class sessions are targeted at municipal practitionersdirectly involved in the respective content areas. Whilst it isprimarily designed for officials at a technical and manageriallevel, Councillors involved in these fields may also benefit. At thisstage, all Master Classes are run in English. Should translationinto French or other languages be required, arrangements needto be made well in advance. MILE has found that the optimalduration for its courses is over a period of three consecutivedays. Longer periods out of the office may not be sustainable.The eThekwini Municipality realised the need for a peer basedlearning intervention to support the emerging and changingneeds of South African and African municipalities. eThekwiniMunicipality has conceived its peer learning intervention underthe auspices of the Municipal Institute of Learning (MILE),which they hope will position Durban as a Centre of Learning inSouth Africa and the African continent. MILE is structured alongfour learning ‘pillars’: Capacity Building, Strategic Partnershipsand Networks, Collaborating with Academia and MunicipalTechnical Support. These programme ‘pillars’ are underpinnedby an integrated knowledge management process.
The Solid Waste master class was developed by the eThekwiniSolid Waste and Cleansing Unit and the focus is on “gettingthe basics right” with the aim of providing the participantswith information and tools on how to manage solid wastemanagement challenges.The master class covers a number of themes, each of which hassub-topics/sections and site visits or activities where applicable.Each theme contains a mix of power point presentations,discussions and worked activities. The aim of the themes isto provide practical information to guide the participants inapplying a similar approach in their own municipalities.
