Fostering Collaborative Partnerships: LG Leaders Engaging with Civil Society and Other Stakeholders
Dr Vuyiwe Tsako is a Local Government Expert with over 20 years' experience.
Summary
Dr Vuyiwe Tsako emphasises the significance of local government collaboration with communities and stakeholders as outlined in the 2007 National Policy Framework on public participation. The framework stresses the importance of community involvement, allowing members to feel included in the decision-making process.
She also emphasises the necessity of consultation with various stakeholders, including committees, stakeholder groups, and the public, for effective communication, feedback, and problem-solving.
Dr Tsako notes that while consultation is crucial, not all municipalities execute it effectively and that meaningful engagement and addressing community feedback is essential, rather than just a box-ticking exercise.
