A Handbook on Community Development Workers in South Africa
The implementation of the CDW programme is coordinated by all three spheres of government. The Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) is responsible for the coordination, inception and incubation period. The Department of Provincial and Local Government facilitates the relationships between the three spheres of government. Provincial Administrations will be the employers of CDWs while the South African Local Government Association (SALGA) and local government will, among other things, provide the workplace for CDWs and create the necessary environment for CDWs to perform their duties. Provincial Local Government Associations and the offices of the speakers within municipalities will oversee the creation of an enabling environment for CDWs.
