Foreword by the Chairperson
We are embarking on consolidating and strengthing our board and governance structures by ensuring that our oversight role as the board to the management committee is always integrated, credible and organised. By so doing we are going to be introducing a board structure to ensure that we achieve integrity in executing favourably on our policy undertakings.
This process will be led by the CEO and the organisation's secretariat who will be appointed on a full-time basis to serve and execute her functions both at board and management levels. It gives us great pleasure to invite potential social partners, both government and non-government, to work with us in taking forward the vision of developing our rural communities by applying educational methodologies and sciences preferred to the mainstream economies and their respective communities. Learning through research and innovation poses the future which must encompass realities in our communities.
