Many of South Africa’s most pressing challenges are structural — but their impact is felt most deeply in people’s everyday lives. While reforms are often pursued at a national or provincial level, they don’t always translate into meaningful change for communities.
What if transformation could also start from the ground up? “Place-based approaches” offer bottom-up, community-led ways of shifting systems to better serve the people who live in them.
For this Perspectives Series webinar, Sinazo Nkwelo (Innovation Director, DGMT) is joined by Danya Pastuszek (President & CEO, Tamarack Institute for Community Engagement), Réjane Woodroffe (Director, Bulungula Incubator), Ngaka Mosiane (Senior Researcher, Gauteng City-Region Observatory), and Johan Olivier (Executive Director, Ranyaka Community Transformation) to explore how local action can drive systemic change.
