Why is this important? By Bongolwethu Sonti It’s 01 January 2030 and you have just celebrated the new year - you’re standing on top of Table Mountain looking down, what do you see below? Is it a picturesque Wakanda-like dream with semi - flying electric powered cars, tree top houses, ecologically designed central business districts with lush green forests? The phone you are holding in your hand, is it a cruelty free phone? Who are you standing with? Is it an excited tourist who travelled 14 000 KMs to marvel at the beauty of Cape Town and to study the spirit of its people and how they model community?
the people who were leading that change. People like the brave young warrior named Shaka Zulu who saw that war was a strategic pursuit of power and not a careless throw of it; to the 1950s civil rights movements that eventually gave birth to groups like the black panthers (in the US) who confronted the realities of the day and were not naïve to societal perceptions; to the climate warriors all over the world in 2019 who saw that the waiting game may leave things too late to save the planet.
As you breathe in the air on the mountain top - do stories of the past decade come back to you about how a country on the edge of collapse was pulled from that ledge by a single movement? And, how a group of young people who wanted to take back their future and lead, turned around a society at the brink of destruction to become the blueprint of a cohesive prosperous nation? Or, is what you see an emotionless pit with clear lines of social divides drawn by toll roads and unending landfills? Did it take you days to reach this mountain from the abyss of helplessness and dead dreams - (from the outer city)? Or, are you looking at the person next to you with envy as they sip on their R75 onelitre water while taking pictures with their R50k smartphone? How did you even get here? As with every generation before us, we are faced with challenges that seem insurmountable and objectives that seem unachievable, but throughout history, the story of guts, determination, courage and change seems to present only one protagonist and one voice – the power of youth. I remember the first stories of change that I heard, I remember

SUSTAINABILITY Sustainable networks operate effectively in spite of organisational setbacks, such as staff reorganisation. Embedding the components of an effective network will steer networks towards sustainability, along with the following key principles that promote network sustainability:
A supportive culture • •
Networks that value and develop a culture of inclusive support are more effective and sustainable as they use all of the resources and expertise that exist within the network. Having strong leadership that facilitates supportive relationships is an essential part of creating a sustainable network.
Resources •
An effective network encourages each stakeholder and Activator to contribute and share their skills, expertise, time or other resources in a sustainable manner.
Flexibility •
Activators need to be flexible when organising meetings or establishing other arrangements, to help become familiar with the different operating styles of other network members.
Succession planning • •
Effective networks do not rely on the work of one employee or Activator and are more sustainable if a variety of employees and Activators are up to date with the structure and status of the network. It is also important that dealings between Activators and materials relevant to the network are documented and are easily accessible so that other staff can quickly identify where the network is at.
Coordination •
It is important that there is a single point of contact for each network member. This helps coordinate the network’s work and helps prevent conflicting information being communicated between Activators.
•
Within the network, the Provoke sector coordinators play this valuable coordination role as well as the ACD Trainers and the Youth Hub coordinators. This is because they are the first point of contact with Activators.
Shared decision making •
All Activators should be involved in the decision making process, allowing each member to contribute their expertise to the network. Shared decision making helps promote mutual trust and respect within the network and a sense of ownership of the network’s achievements.
Sustainability and activity trajectory •
Ensuring the sustainability of a network and its activities relies heavily on how well the activities add value for Activators and their communities while staying true to the priorities that have been agreed upon by all members.
•
Quick wins are important and can encourage buy-in from partners, collaboration and strong momentum. However, focusing on quick wins for a long period of time can move a network away from the strategic priority. Ongoing reflection, evaluation and asking why and how the planned activities align with the goals and evidence should ensure that effort will meet strategic priorities.

CONT....
However, youth networks offer a great wealth of social capital which individuals can leverage opportunities from beyond those supplied in the mainstream. Let us not forget that it takes a little more than hard work and maybe some luck to succeed, many books have spoken about the circle of influence and how it affects the ability of an individual to reach their goals. The A! Network’s sustainability can affect the increased impact of individual actors within communities when they access incremental training and support. This, and working with others locally can help scale actions or leverage effective systems change, and thus offer the opportunity to increase diversity of youth voices, representation and visibility at different levels.
Social movements, in particular youth networks, have had the power to shape and reshape our trajectories. In fact, it is these movements that allowed the birthing of a “new” change phenomenon - that phenomenon being youth networks, which are comprised of interconnected individuals, organisations and community-based movements who bring about effective social change. But the real question is what makes them survive, thrive and how can they become sustainable? Apart from the evolutionary luck of being able to coordinate ourselves in large numbers, the hunger for self-determination and control has been the fuel that has kept us fired up to realise the utopia we dream of. More specifically, youth networks are driven by the need to create a platform for an amplified youth voice, engagement of individuals, agency to set the agenda that are not predetermined agendas. Furthermore, it is the sense of inclusivity, diversity and equality which offer a level playing field for actors and the value that the network attaches to individual actors and their community work. This makes the case for why it’s important to build on a youth network’s propensity for public innovation.
So, on that New Year’s Day in 2030 what is it that we want to see? I predict, if we can attach meaning to our everyday contributions to the network, see that meaning - as a painter attaches meaning to each stroke of his brush, we can blaze a trail that no one can alter. Meaning is derived from constant connection and established outcomes within the network.This is how I see us leveraging the power of youth in the next decade. As you sit now and ponder about the next step, think about that mountain top, think about your position within the network right now. Are you helping it to remain sustainable, are you the wind beneath its wings? Youth make up the majority of the continents population, imagine if that same youth stood hand in hand and passed each other the bricks to build our future instead of throwing them at each other.
But, sometimes youth networks too fizzle out, just as the peace movements of the 1960s and 1970s, members grow old, have kids, get the home with the white picket fence and are more concerned about annual tax returns. Sometimes it takes a while for another generation to take up the mantle, which is where we are, and sometimes the mantle is never taken up again, which is where Africa is with needing to reclaim its power, resources and future.
01 January 2030, which reality is yours?
The problem is not with the youth or youth movements, the problem is on gearing them for sustainability. We need to start building movements not just around strong, educated and well-connected people, but continually focus on building a foundation that includes a well engraved vision with a firm strategic objective and a human resource focus. It’s not enough to have a good baseline, a youth network achieves strength and resilience through its ability to survive high turn-over periods. Ideally “we,” the youth of 2020, should be able to be replaced completely without destabilising the mission and work of the network.

To build sustainability as a network, we, the ACTIVATE! Change Drivers Network, already have a great advantage of having a wide reach of diverse individuals. We need to leverage this advantage, we should establish a core mission and values that can be understood throughout the network. This will inform our strategic plan for public innovation in South Africa and beyond. It is therefore important to establish clear and measurable processes including clear outcomes and impact objectives. Furthermore, we need a plan for building capacity, communication, skill exchange and coping mechanisms. This is not enough, the organisation needs to place at the centre of its organisational mandate and budget, the expertise and service exchanges for individuals within the network. A sort of model that recognises progress and excellence by individuals and organisations. Additionally, set up a transparent process for nomination and feedback for opportunities offered to individuals within the network, whether this is a seat at the board table, attending a BRICS meeting or any other media opportunities. Importantly, a strong institution requires a strong focus on structure and process but this doesn’t necessarily mean we need to build a bureaucratic system, the impact of the youth network lies in its adaptability to deal with quick feedback.

When I joined ACTIVATE! in 2015, I thought I could make a difference in my own small circle of influence, but I never believed it until I spent a year meeting and getting to know close to 500 new young people and their ideas for change – they changed my perceptions on how to solve certain problems; they helped me get over self-doubt and kept me engaged and focused to move forward with my work. What I am known as now is a member of a network that represents power and ability, beyond Plein Street and the UN Plaza.

It is an example of when young people come together; are given a platform; afforded an opportunity to explore or build on their own ideas and are given an avenue for action beyond tokenistic representation and mainstreaming which allows REAL meaningful change to take place. A youth network is important because it offers an opportunity for an individual to gain structural knowledge to build on their own capacity and influence others. Most young people don’t interact within clearly defined processes and measured outcomes until they reach employment (if they ever do).

By Paul Mabote “We are generation 2020! We don’t want a hand-out, we want a hand up!” That is the inspirational slogan found on the face of the National Youth Policy (20152020) document. The document is the middle child, being that it succeeds an earlier version of itself (the NYP 2009-2014) and precedes the most recent version which is still in development (the NYP 2021-2025). The documents are meant to set out government’s aims and strategies regarding youth development in the country. However, there’s a national cloud of doubt as to whether the government is up to the task of implementing these policies.
KZN focus grouphosted by Nkosikhona Mpungose
Out with the Old For the development of the most recent version of the National Youth Policy (NYP 2021-2025), submissions were made by various youth development structures across South Africa, to the National Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME). ACTIVATE! participated by mobilising more than 350 young people (a total of 17 focus groups) throughout the country, in sessions where young people got the opportunity to review and give comment on the contents of the (NYP 2015-2020). Based on the views and comments from Activators from across the country, ACTIVATE! carefully consolidated the Networks submission and sent it to the DPME. “Under the Youth Making Local Government Work (YMLGW) Campaign, we made the decision to mobilise the network and host focus groups with young people from different communities. Reading through the policy, one can see how detailed and how important the policy is for the development of the youth. However, many of the youth are in the dark about the existence of such a policy which governs many things that affect them. Likewise, for a number of the young people, the sessions were an important learning curve,” says YMLGW Coordinator, Bongiwe Ndlovu.
GP focus group hosted by Phathuxolo Ndzimande
Good on Paper “An interesting thing about the (NYP 2015-2020) is that it has inside it more than 190 ‘should’s,” says Bongiwe, “but the big problem is that ‘should’ does not necessarily hold anyone accountable,” she continues. So one of the questions was how do we change the wording, so that we do not end up with another 5 years of an unimplemented youth policy?
So what do the youth want? There were several common issues expressed by young people regarding the implementation of the National Youth Policy. Some of them were access to youthfriendly services at health institutions and the reduction of the gap between small and big businesses. Bongiwe says that there were submissions that spoke of substance abuse and the bigger role that the private sector could be playing in the effort to reduce it. Activator and Youth Hub manager Lebogang Ditsebe led a focus group in Kimberely in the Northern Cape, he says, “The development of youth sports is included within the framework of the policy, as sports is regarded as a big and important instrument of nation-building. However, the development of sports at grassroots level seems to be abandoned in most of our communities. Arts must also be incorporated as a mandatory part of the public schooling curriculum to make the most of our young people’s various capabilities.”

“Looking at the policy, it is important to remember that the visions included therein, are not going to be brought into reality just by words, but by action. Hosting a focus group in a school in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, I got the opportunity to speak to matric students and get a sense of what they think the National Youth Policy is about and how can we make sure that the visions contained in the latest version are implemented,” says Activator Mordecai Ndlovu, who is the founder of Africa Youth Entrepreneurship.

A! HEALTH
During the month of June, ACTIVATE! Change Drivers collaborated with Activators working within the health sector to coordinate a series of hackathons at various locations across South Africa. The hackathons were initiated as part of our effort to create platforms for new ways of thinking and unconventional approaches to address health issues affecting youth. With this in mind, Health Hackathons were conducted in Bushbuckridge and Mbombela in Mpumalanga as well as in Port Shepstone, Richards Bay and Durban in KwaZulu Natal.
ACTIIVATE! also hosted a satellite session at the 9th South African AIDS Conference in partnership with KfW and Youth Against AIDS. The Satellite Session which was hosted at the Durban ICC sought to highlight the importance of social innovation in building the capacity of youth to actively respond to health challenges affecting communities across South Africa. This session which is part of the ACTIVATE! Health Sector strategy to create provocative platforms for Activators to critically reflect on health issues affecting society saw over 100 participants, including 39 Activators from across Kwa-Zulu Natal participate. Through this engagement, Activators were able to engage with various thought-leaders working within the public health sector.
ACTIVATE! partnered with IPAS South Africa to coordinate the #SRHFYI Imbizo which was hosted at WITS University in Johannesburg. This Imbizo was primarily targeted at Activators working within the Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights and sought to create an enabling environment for Activators working in this sector to deepen their knowledge on this important thematic issue within public health in general. Key among the outcomes for this engagement was the commitment made by various stakeholders who participated in the Imbizo to contribute towards strengthening the role of youth in general and Activators in advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights in South Africa. This includes IPAS South Africa, Gateway Health Institute, QRATE and Marie Stopes, among others.
ACTIVATE! partnered with IPAS South Africa to develop IEC materials with evidence-based and youth-friendly content on sexual and reproductive health. This material was reviewed by various stakeholders including the Department of Health officials as well as Health Promoters working within the department.
In August, we partnered with various stakeholders including IPAS South Africa, Global Health Strategies, Nalane for Reproductive Rights and SWEAT to coordinate the Clean Up Jozi Campaign at Park Station, Johannesburg. The campaign sought to highlight the dangers of unsafe abortion by taking down posters which promote unsafe abortion. The campaign received media coverage from Newzroom Africa, eNCA and Timeslive, with Project Liaison Officer Kanyisa Booi and Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng of Nalane for Reproductive Rights carrying the message of the campaign on these platforms. Following this, other leading organisation in the sexual and reproductive health rights space including She Decides expressed an interest in partnering with us to host a follow up Clean Up campaign. Plans for this are currently underway.
In September, ACTIVATE! coordinated the AYFS Imbizo at the Central University of Technology in Bloemfontein with the aim of strengthening efforts to enhance access to Adolescent and Youth Friendly Services in the Free State province. Various stakeholders including SANAC and HEAIDS provided Activators with insights on how to actively contribute towards fulfilling the stated objective. Among the key outcomes from this engagement was the commitment by the Provincial Council on AIDS in the Free State to actively engage Activators at the community level with the view of ensuring their participation at various levels to ensure the strengthening of AYFS in the province.
The A! Health Sector will focus its efforts on strengthening Adolescent and Youth Friendly Services by integrating the work of Health Champions into already existing community-based interventions such as the ACTIVATE! Powered Youth Hubs in various communities across the country. This Health Champions-led strategy will seek to integrate youth-focused information and services into these programmes through hackathons, imbizo’s and other interventions.

Meet Activator Given Sedibe from an area called Msogwaba Pienaar in Mpumalanga. He is a community youth developer, a social activist and a member of the ACTIVATE! Change Driver’s Network. Given started his journey in community work in 2016 and in 2017 he started a youth development organisation called Impilo Youth Empowerment CSO. He says that the objective was to bridge the development gap between his community and key stakeholders. The Break Down There are six main programmes which Given and his team run under the IMPILO Youth Empowerment umbrella. They assist young people with online and manual university applications, they conduct the Youth in Leadership training programme and they also do programmes for charity. Impilo Youth Empowerment CSO also offers its beneficiaries academic support and career guidance by conducting career expos. They also run programmes on anti-drug awareness and teenage pregnancy eradication. The leaders at Impilo Youth also conduct youth camps.
Members of IYECSO assisting leaners with online tertiary applications
“I am also involved in the Youth Making Local Government work programme and I have been advocating for sustainable service delivery in my community. With all our programmes, we have already worked with 5 schools, 9 community centres (home based and youth centres) and through our charity programme we have been able to assist more than 350 families from different areas within the province. I love community work that is why I am always on the ground with the masses,” he says. Empowered to Empower Given mentions that their journey in building their organisation has not been without challenges. “It has not been easy to reach many young people with a lack of financial and other resources.” Given identifies drug abuse as one of the most prevalent social ills in his community. Impilo Youth Empowerment CSO trains young people to effectively run their community projects. On their Facebook page, they mention that “Some of the reasons why people’s organisations collapse is because the leadership or the management structure sometimes is unclear and does not understand their executive portfolios. In our Youth in Leadership Training Manual we have a focus area that talks about understanding executive portfolios. Allow us to train you to think differently and make a difference where you are with what you have.” The Power of Action On the 27th of July, Impilo Youth Empowerment CSO attended and presented at a career exhibition hosted by Grassroots Organisation and Mothers 2 Mothers in Mpumalanga. Members of the organisation attend such functions to make the youth aware of academic opportunities available and to let them know how they can access them. Apart from that, they also visit secondary schools around their community to conduct what is called the Education First Application System (EFAS), a programme where they help learners within the schools to apply online for tertiary education.
The Impilo Youth Empowerment CSO Team
Given is indeed a gift to his colleagues at Impilo Youth Epowerment CSO and to his community at large. A selfless leader who has proven that a candle does not lose anything by igniting another candle and that in fact by doing so, it can lead to a community finding the light, in this case, young people getting the important access to education.

Last year, a new group of Activators started on the NQF level 5 National Certificate - Community Development Certificate Course (CDCC). This was the 3rd group of Activators (CDCC2018) who embarked on this learning journey; they completed all the modules in May 2019. The course consists of 3 modules: • • •
MODULE 1 (1.1 and 1.2): Community Development Theory and Practice MODULE 2: Promoting Youth Development using a peer intervention MODULE 3 (3.1 and 3.2): Formalising a community development intervention
The CDCC2018 group represents a small portion of the ACTIVATE! Network, and it was inspiring to learn not only about their community initiatives, but also about them taking up opportunities that come their way. One Activator was selected for participation in an overseas youth programme and another attended the 2019 SAIIA Young Leaders Conference. It is also our hope, that many of them will use this course as the foundation to further their studies, just like Nthabeleng Jabane is planning on doing. Any notification of the next intake for the CDCC programme will be shared on all ACTIVATE! communication platforms, so please keep your eyes and ears open. If you are interested in applying, a pre-course assignment needs to be completed and you need to produce a video where you motivate why you should be accepted into the course.

Below are the key concepts and values that we associate with Community Development; so, if you want to “test” if what you are doing is indeed Community Development, then check your intervention/s against these concepts and values, keeping in mind that your work can be formal or informal. Erika Joubert - CDCC Co-ordinator
Two definitions of Community Development: “Community Development is about placing individuals at the centre of the development process and helping them realise their potential. (It) should result in empowered people, deepened and strengthened democracy, restored dignity of people, good governance and responsible citizens. (DPSA, 2007 )” and “Community Development is a process designed to create conditions of economic and social progress for the whole community with its active participation and fullest possible reliance upon the community’s initiative. (OHCC, n.d. )”
Activators are young people who are active in the improvement of the social, political as well as the economic conditions in their communities – some also address the natural environmental conditions. Your impact is evident not only from the annual YouCount Survey, but also from coverage of your activities on other platforms such as Twitter, newspapers and even national radio & television. The areas (namely natural environmental, social, political and economic) in which Activators are active, are representative of the various sectors that make up the multi-dimensional character of the Community Development process. Because Community Development is not just about the economy or just the natural environment; Community Development needs an integration of the various sectors – you cannot develop the one sector without the other.
For me, the operative word to remember in any description of Community Development, has always been “process.” Community Development is not something that happens overnight and it is not driven by one person only. It happens over time and requires a group of individuals to drive it; the group must include the community or beneficiaries / target gruop.
Often, Activators do not even realise that what they are doing, is actually following a Community development process. For Swanepoel and de Beer (2011) the features of community development are as follows. An integrated approach. First, this means that the problems of development are multi-faceted and should be addressed in a co-ordinated manner; Secondly, different role-players such as government institutions, non-governmental organisations and community-based ones, should co-ordinate their actions and efforts.
Needs orientated
Collective action
If there is no need or a perception of a need, there can be no community development. If there is no clearly defined need, the project will not succeed. The challenge is that needs identification has a negative connotation and also, it can lead to expectations.
Community development is not about the action of just one person or a few individuals. It is about collective action where a group of people share a problem and take collective responsibility to address it.
Objective orientation
Each identified need must be addressed by trying to realise a concrete objective. It cannot be vague or broad; it must be concrete, not abstract.
Action at grassroots level
Community development is not about the elite and experts; it is about the grassroots in that the main players are ordinary, mainly poorer, people. Therefore, CD efforts are usually small and simple, trying to address the basic needs.
Asset based
CD is not about drawing up a wish list for government agencies to deliver. It makes use of assets and resources that are available, also within the community – local assets must be identified and incorporated as part of the process. More on this when we do the ABCD methodology.
Democratic
Community development forms part of democratic activity; notably on local government level which is the closet to the community. Through CD, the poorest of the poor, the most deprived, are given the opportunity to participate in democratic action.

The Capacity Building team has the dual responsibility of providing and sourcing various workshops and trainings to assist Activators in their amazing journey of transforming the country. We also look for innovative ways to harvest the amazing skills lying dormant within the A! Network, with the hope of creating an ecosystem where the A! Network can resource itself. We aim to ensure that we create spaces to plug Activators into platforms and engagements that are otherwise generally extended only to the organisation so that they can engage with decision makers across various levels; expand their learning across various fields and sector focuses and also to network and build relationships with key stakeholders.
During International Human Rights month, we were invited by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to be the faces of their #StandUp4HumanRights campaign, as a follow up on them inviting us to be part of a panel discussion in the 70th year celebration of the Universal Human Rights Declaration.
