Interactive partnerships involving several roll players and stakeholders are required for South Africa to follow an accreditation process for community development professionalisation; a process that would be licensed by government and/or its proxies. This accreditation process requires the development of an interaction model (partnerships) between HEIs, CHE, SAQA, FETCs, SETAs, QCTO, NGOs, private sector and others, which speaks to the national priorities as well as aligning itself with the disciplinary and practice experiences required for the CommDev qualifications and its professionalisation. This professionalisation accreditation calls for a process that relates to how best to characterise and implement community development as a fully fledged profession, with its own quality assurance standards and code of ethics – and which is regulated by an independent professional body. Some of the first steps have been taken by forming partnerships with some of the key roll-players and stakeholders. These partnerships are with SAQA, CHE, QCTO, ETDP SETA, HWSETA, HEIs, FETCs and NPOs. Several more partnerships are in the process of being finalised for 2013, so as to involve more public- private- and NGO sector partners, all of whom are required for the successful professionalisation of CommDev. |
