Professional Development Certificate Programme for Practitioners of Land Reform

Continuing Education at the University of Pretoria (CE at UP) invites applications for its 20-day course on Professional Development Certificate Programme for Practitioners of Land Reform from 19 July 2010 to 5 November 2010 in Pretoria.

This modular twenty day course, aimed at those individuals who work with or are involved in land reform, will provide an understanding of the governance and implementation of land reform in South Africa. One of the main stumbling blocks faced by land reform beneficiaries is the lack of post-settlement support they receive. This support is not necessarily the exclusive responsibility of government, but requires a range of stakeholders to coordinate the required services. The course will give insights into the policy formulation process and implementation, and examine what systems are in place to provide effective post-settlement support services. Recently completed, evidence based research provides the framework for a new strategy towards the provisioning of effective, sustainable post-settlement support services which will be presented to the learners.

Furthermore, the learners will be exposed to the latest developments in the land reform debate and will be addressed by leading figures from government and the private sector on practical solutions to actual challenges faced by government, the private sector and beneficiary communities.

There are partial scholarships available, to apply please email your CV to maryke.ce@up.ac.za.
