Description: First we need to ask the obvious question, what is the purpose of a trade union education strategic plan? The answer is as follows,To enable the union to locate its educational concerns and plan its responses with due regard to available resources, and capacity. To ensure that there is a reference point for a thorough on-going assessment of progress. To help articulate a vision for the unions education which inspires and motivates all those concerned. This is critical to the long-term success of our union. Assessing and adopting strategic options requires a vision to help us locate and then analyse both external and internal conditions. It helps us to formulate manageable and realistic strategies to achieve agreed objectives. It helps us to implement our plans with a clear appreciation of our true capacity and to measure outcomes accurately

Description: The German multi-national Karl Schmidt 1 dismissed 270 NUMSA members on 22nd July 1987. During May, three shop stewards were dismissed for calling a meeting on company premises. This meeting was held to get workers’ views on the 5-6 may stayaway called by progressive organisations in protest against the ‘white’ elections and the killings of SARHWU workers. After dismissing the shop stewards the company refused to reinstate them or agree to the arbitration of the dispute. The company refused NUMSA access to ballot its members for a legal strike after the expiry of the dispute resolving 30-day period. Instead, when workers elected a delegation to see management on 20 July 1987 to enquire about the situation, the company: 1. Brought the delegation before disciplinary hearings; 2. Fired a worker without a hearing on 21 July 1987; 3. Suspended a shop steward on the night- shift for six months on 21 July 1987; 4. Dismissed the entire nightshift on 21 July 1987 wh:(e workers were waiting in the canteen for management to address them; 5. Dismissed the entire dayshift on 22 July 1987 while workers were waiting for a report on the dismissal of the nightshift from the company. Karl Schmidt have always displayed racist, anti-union attitudes. Shop stewards have always been a particular target. During 1986 workers had to strike to get a shop steward reinstated after he was dismissed without a hearing

Description: This Congress resolves that: That the Central Committee decision in regard to membership of political parties be adopted by this congress. That Numsa as an organisation would encourage its members to support the ANC in the coming elections. Cosatu should remain independent of the political parties or government both now and in the post-apartheid State. The future of the Alliance will be decided by the Alliance partners themselves. Cosatu must intensify efforts to strengthen its structures and develop its leadership in order to ensure it has a strong support base. The workings of the Alliance need to be improved by strengthening the local and regional Alliance structures so that decisions can be taken involving members and lower structures and not only a top down process of decision making. The Alliance should establish a report back process and establish a mandating process. The reportback should start at a national level and go down to all levels. The mandating process should start from bottom structures to the national level. This process should be done within a specific time period. Numsa should conduct regular discussions Locally, Regionally and Nationally wherein positions pertaining to the political negotiations should be adopted. These positions should reflect the interests of our members and through Cosatu we should influence the positions of the Alliance.

Description: There are two main co-operative activities that are supported by NUMSA. The one is SAWCO in Natal and the other is the project that is starting here in the East Cape. Does NUMSA have a policy on co-operatives? NUMSA in its Central Committee has taken a decision to support co-ops. But NUMSA is still busy thinking of how we can formulate a policy on co-operatives. We are working towards such a policy. So what is NUMSA's aim in giving support to co-ops? In other words, how can organised workers benefit from the support that NUMSA is giving to these co-op activities?.

Description: Facilitator introduces him/herself first and the organisation, Turp. Just a brief background of Turp (very brief even if the group is familiar with this). You choose how you want to introduce yourself. You could want to give a bit of a background about yourself. I will have a separate illustration on newsprint, showing what I have done since birth up to now! One could recite that if they like. Group introduction: I propose a game be played, that will have everybody participating. The game is a "picnic game". You say to them we are a happy group who have just decided to go out on a picnic. So each and everyone of us has something to share with us all at the picnic. This must start with the first letter of your name. You (as facilitator) start by saying "for this event I will bring Aloe juice, for keeping healthy skins, because my name is Alfred". The next cde then say the same thing starting from me, the next also saying the same thing, until the last one. Then to see if you can still remember what they said you say it all. Rules: Cdes are not allowed to write down anything here, you could be helped with names and items forgotten during the game. Take a minute discussing how they felt about the whole exercise? You can mention the objectives of the w/shop at this stage from your understanding of the brief. You may say something about the participatory approach used in designing and presentation of this w/shop (methods used in Turp) as we believe that cdes have gone through a lot of experiences in their worklife and know the subject.

Outcome and impact assessment in the comprehensive evaluation of rural ICT projects in developing countries

Description: Despite existing literature that indicates that Information and communication technologies (ICTs) act as tools for social change and development, there is still limited empirical evidence that demonstrates this. An outcome and impact assessment based on a comprehensive (holistic) evaluation is deemed appropriate at a time when many ICT4D programmes fail to effectively demonstrate their impact towards rural development. A comprehensive evaluation is one that incorporates the evaluation of the need, design, implementation, outcome and impact, efficiency, and scalability of a programme. These stages make up the different domains of an evaluation lifecycle. The following study aims to develop an outcome and impact assessment framework for ICT4D programmes. It forms part of continuous research associated with the development of a rural ICT Comprehensive Evaluation framework. A theoretical approach, using Design Science and Weick’s theorizing process, was applied to investigate the development of a framework (design artefact) for outcome and impact assessment of ICT4D programmes. The theorizing process analysed existing outcome and impact assessment frameworks from social programmes, information systems/technology programmes, and ICT4D programmes. The output of the theorizing process proposes five critical themes of outcome and impact assessment of rural ICT4D programmes that should be assessed. These themes include: Strategic Value, Most Significant Change, Empowerment, Livelihoods, and Sustainability. To assess its utility, the framework was implemented in the Siyakhula Living Lab and Information and Communication Technology for Rural Education (ICT4RED) projects in South Africa. Through the application of the framework in real life ICT4D contexts, the lessons learned contributed to its revision and enhancement. The proposed framework aims to guide evaluators through the assessment of outcomes and impacts in ICT4D programmes. It provides a foundation and justification for the selected outcome and impact assessment themes that contribute to a comprehensive evaluation. An outcome and impact assessment that is informed by: baseline; needs assessment; programme theory assessment; and process assessment data, provides ICT4D evaluators and project stakeholders with meaningful outcome and impact feedback. Having such an approach to outcome and impact assessment ensures that the evaluation process is seen more holistically as part of the ICT4D project as a whole. , Thesis (PhD) -- Faculty of Commerce, Information Systems, 2017
