For Mossel Bay Municipality it is important that we will always involve all stakeholders (primary and secondary stakeholders) that is dealing with GBV because we focus on the logo : “Nothing without us”. To THINK you know the needs in the community is wrong. We need the INPUT of the community to have a holistic picture of the needs in Mossel Bay. We cannot operate in solo’s and achieve masterpieces.

RESOURCEFULNESS: WHAT FINANCIAL, HUMAN AND OTHER RESOURCES WERE

MOBILISED?Resources will always be a challenge for any organization. Although budget is set available for 16 days of Activism, the amounts set available is always a challenge. However with combined projects, working in partnership with all the stakeholders as indicated, every organisation was able to support the program and make sure that all events run smoothly in the community. Not only did Inter Departments, FBO’s took hands to address the financial and Human resources, but also did business such as Petro SA partner to assist us in this event.Financial and human resources are important together with logistical equipment. However we realized that the community of Mossel Bay is willing to take hands, to join in a fight to take back the safety of their town. Several role-players meetings were conducted. Every task, expense and resources needed were identified and mobilised within the Social Development Forum

CREATIVITY: ARE YOU USING ARTS, CULTURE, MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO POPULARISE

THE ISSUES?

Various mediums were used to ensure that the community was informed about the role of the municipality during the 16 Days of Activism. Organisations, groups and individuals distributed pamphlets. An advertisement was placed in the local newspaper on 18 November 2011 and an article placed on 25 November 2011 focussed on the Aids Campaign. The SAPS broadcasted information about the programmes during their time slots at radio stations. Articles also appeared in the Mossel Bay Advertiser on 2 December 2011 march – 25 November 2011) and were placed by DPSA and there was an article on 9 December 2011 (Evening of Appreciation- 1 December 2011). (Council remembers Aids victims – 1 December 2011) Community outreach HIV/AIDS and TB – 28 November to 1 December 2011- placed by Mossel Bay Municipality. Various emails were sent out during this time to remind employees and the community and to keep them informed.

We also focussed on a program with a famous artist to do a drama on Gender, Disability, Elderly and HIV/AIDS in 2 Community Halls. One Internal program focussing on discrimination i.t. disability, gender, elderly and HIV/AIDS.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The Social Development Forum, meets on a monthly meeting and feedback and progress is dealt with on this Forum. For example. During November, we had a door-2-door campaign focussing on health services, HIV and TB, school, education and services available in the Community. During this week we identified a lack of knowledge in the community. We engaged with the Department of Health and the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission Department to give training to the HIV/AIDS Council and volunteers in the community. Due to this, we started with the planning of the Ward Based Training program. The questionnaires utilized in November 2011 will be the monitoring tool for November 2012 together with the statistics of SAPS and Department of Health.

SUSTAINABILITY AND REPLICATION

As indicated above, sel Bay Municipality already started to assist the region in terms of HIV/AIDS. Our way of working, interacting and setting up our action plan, linking it with the IDP is already a best practice in the Western Cape.
