Executive Summary
The Harare Residents'
Trust (HRT) secured a grant from the Non State Actors Forum (NSAF)
for leadership training programmes for its suburban affiliates with
effect from January 2010. The NSAF is a coalition of non state actors.
These funds, under the 'Community Meetings and Policy Advocacy
Project' (CMPA) have come at a time the HRT has become a residents'
movement to reckon with, despite lack of resources to undertake
such key programmes as strategic plan and capacity building trainings.
The training is aimed
at inculcating a culture of accountability, transparency and good
local governance among the leadership of the HRT affiliates. The
thrust of the training is to build the capacity of the residents'
leadership to make quality decisions, to know their roles and responsibilities,
and develop plans of actions that provides them with a roadmap to
achieve their goals and objectives.
Once trained the leadership
is expected to be more cohesive and effective in their handling
of residents' affairs. Their mobilisation capacity would be
greatly enhanced. In the short-medium term these leaders would play
a more influential role in determining the course of events in their
respective communities.
The HRT model emphasises
on the need for locals to find local solutions to the myriad of
service delivery challenges afflicting residents across Harare.
A leadership whose capacity has been enhanced provides the HRT with
an opportunity to build a critical mass that can hold elected representatives
and service providers accountable and promotes the transparent utilisation
of public resources.
This leadership
training programme is meant to facilitate self discovery among the
leadership. The facilitators use the participatory methodology that
explores various options in decision-making through the active participation
of all participants.
