  1. South African Case study

  2. Pre-validation field trip • Fieldtrip in Tubatse municipality, Sekhukhune District • Manchester modelling team joined • The goals of the trip were: • To present previous research results to the village and municipal stakeholders for verification and clarification; • To ascertain whether research supported for future development • To test assumptions used in the models • To document social network

  3. Village process • 3 days in the village • feedback meeting was held that was open to the whole village • focus groups held with separate men’s and women’s groups • some individual interviews were conducted • social network game (MMU) • visits to communal projects and village activities

  4. Village feedback meeting • Attended by about 100 people • Results from previous fieldwork presented using flip chart sheets • The main issues under 6 headings/themes were presented, namely: water, climate, food, health, jobs and communication • Enabled comparison of what people in the village had said about the issue to how the municipality was thinking and talking about the issue • The response was mainly positive • people felt we had appropriately captured the key points • people went on to place emphasis or expand on certain points • on numerous occasions disagreed with what we were reporting the municipality had said • People commented on how pleased they were that we had come back to talk to them about our results

  5. Social network documentation • Whom do you most enjoy spending time with? (4 people)

  6. Video • A video documenting some of the interviews and discussions held in the village were recorded • Has been used in presentations • Sent to village The video can be found on the CAVES website at http://cfpm.org/caves/CAVESWiki/PrivateAreaDocuments

  7. Tubatse municipality feedback Aim: • Feed back results to municipal officials • Provide an opportunity for village and government representatives to discuss the key findings and related concerns

  8. Municipality level process • The meeting with Greater Tubatse Municipality was welcomed (although attendance was limited) • Our report was much appreciated • People hoped it could be used to focus attention from different departments and from the provincial level on the key issues highlighted in the report • Village representation at the meeting • issues were raised that allowed the village representatives to express their frustration with the municipality particularly linked to basic services and jobs • The municipality tried to explain their difficulties addressing certain challenges. • It was a useful exercise • in generating multi-stakeholder dialogue • In allowing key modelling issues (social/environmental/economical issues) to be explored further

  9. October: Validation trip • Feed back model results • Undertake validation exercises • At village level • At municipal level • Discussion of results • at this meeting • In Oxford in early October
