16. Seminar on Municipal-Community Partnerships: Building Pathways Out of Poverty

The seminar seeks to build on the learning of the MCP Forum, which was launched three years ago. The Forum aimed to do the following:

• foster partnerships and specifically Municipal-Community Partnerships or (MCPs),

• encourage knowledge sharing between NGO/CBO, government and other stakeholders,

• strategise around resource mobilisation for MCPs,

• support existing and potential MCPs,

• advocate for the establishment of MCPs towards poverty alleviation,

• facilitate the documentation of experiences around MCPs by conducting research and disseminating research findings, and

• encourage municipal IDPs with a view to identifying potential MCPs for poverty alleviation.
