President Jacob Zuma will officially open the conference of Community Development Workers (CDW) at the Birchwood Conference Centre in Boksburg. The conference will be held under the theme: ‘Empowering Community Development Workers through access to information for service delivery improvement’.
The conference aims to empower CDWs to understand the key priorities of government and its programme of action better and communicate this to the general population. CDWs will also be empowered to understand factors which have impact on service delivery such as the global impact of economy on South Africa.
CDWs serve as a link between communities with many government services and programmes. Located within communities, CDWs assist citizens by helping them to access services such as health, welfare, housing, agriculture, economic activity, education and training, and employment opportunities.
