Abstract:

This study guide for the module PHFS01K Introduction to Household Food Security is the first of six modules in the programme to be piloted with a group of volunteers linked to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the Eastern Cape. The Eastern Cape Non-governmental Organisation Coalition (ECNGOC) has supported the strategy through advocacy and helping to link organisations with the project, thus enabling the recruitment of practising volunteers or community development workers who want to be trained and specialise in Household Food Security. The ECNGOC organised consultative meetings between the UNISA-SAIDE project team and a number of interested NGOs wishing to participate in the pilot project. The NGOs organised community meetings and identified students at eight sites who would participate in the pilot study. The NGOs and people to be acknowledged are Student Partnerships Worldwide (SPW), Transkei Land Service Organisation (TRALSO), The Directorate of Social responsibility in the Anglican Diocese of Grahamstown (DSR), Africare and an independent community development consultant.
