1 (a) - When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in early March 2020, the NDA crafted a quick response to the pandemic at a time when there was lack of information about the virus, particularly in townships and rural areas. A Civil Society Organisation (CSOs) Volunteer programme was initiated to build the capacity of civil society organisations to provide community-based responses to challenges facing them.
Honourable members to note that the programme was implemented in two phases. Phase 1 is comprised of 580 volunteers and Phase 2 is still to be implemented comprised of 2000 volunteers.
1 (b) - The volunteers were not required to provide qualifications. However, they have the following relevant skills for the work to be done:
- Communication skills, including reading and writing in order to assist communities in interpreting and explaining the information on Covid-19;
- Ability to assist community members to apply for Social Relief of Distress Grants and other social protection services provided to communities;
- Knowledge of the communities in which they work, including identification of most vulnerable households.
Additionally, the CSOs and volunteers were provided training by already established provincial teams which include the Departments of Social Development, Health, SASSA and Municipalities.
