Ceres-Koekedouw/Witzenburg
Project details |
|
|---|---|
Partner(s):In 2001 Witzenberg had a population of approximately 83 567. Witzenberg has a proportionally small labour force, so that only 66% of the total population has to financially support the remaining 34%, yielding a dependency ration of in the order of two economically potentially productive persons for each unproductive person in the population. Located in the Western Cape, the main spoken language is Afrikaans. Witzenberg Municipality has under its jurisdiction the towns of Ceres, Prince Alfred's Hamlet, Tulbagh and Wolseley and a vast rural area. For more information please visit www.witzenberg.gov.za. Our Involvement:Communities that are served by Ceres-Koekedouw/Witzenburg receive SAIE’s AgriPlanner training to equip them with the technical expertise necessary for them to operate their micro agribusinesses professionally. Ten recipients of AgriPlanner training diffuse their knowledge to the broader communities through subsequent training and mentoring. The user friendly AgriPlanner material is ideal for use in communities that suffer deficiencies in literacy levels. Project Progress:The training took place from the 21st to the 23rd September 2009. 21 participants were trained and the training took place in the Western Cape. |
