  24. Partnerships, Sustainability and Scale • Key Principles of Sustainability • Working through Infomediaries • Deploying innovative dissemination tools – Internet Portal, Community Print Media, Radio, On-demand Print, On-demand Mulit-media Datacasting • Through Partnerships with: • GCIS – 2000 Points of Presence (POPs), databases of 5000 + government services • MPCCs – projected 50 sites nationally • USA Telecentres – projected 100 sites nationally with internet connectivity • DoL Labour Centres – approximately 150 sites nationally • Local Governments - approximately 290 local governments • LoveLife Centres – as sites for info dissemination • Strategic partnerships with Youth Formations and Bodies – SAYC, NYC, etc. • Network of Municipal Libraries • Network of Higher Education and FET Institutions Libraries/ Student Centres • Mindset Livelihoods Channel – 800 000 households, 2000 schools • Community Radio – average of 80 000 listenership per station • Use Youth Advisory Centres for learner recruitment & reference purposes

  25. CIC going forward Key to CIC Impact: • Move Information Content to where Young People are – focus less on physical infrastructure and more on creating access • Use ICT to effectively develop, manage and disseminate content • Target UYF investments to information content development and training of infomediaries • Ensure integration with partners who share common purpose

  26. Performance • UYF pioneering almost all the initiatives in South Africa • 2 years of programme experience. Growing i.t.o geographic coverage & scale • Received R855 milliion, committed R500 million to 88 projects. More than 100 000 young people have participated in UYF projects

  27. Challenges • Risk of being perceived as a panacea • Improving access especially for rural areas • Launch of the “Take it to the People” concept • Recruitment of Prov. Coordinators • Dependancy on partners • Youth development agenda not mainstreamed • Diminishing resource base (sustainability) • Capacity (internally & externally)

  28. Challenges • Capacity of Service Providers – OD, accreditation, partnerships & job development • Formalise partnerships with the public and private sector institutions = sustainability
