dc.description.abstract |
This study aimed to assess funding of community food security projects in the Gauteng Province.
The study was prompted by high levels of poverty and unemployment. Despite the two challenges being at the
fore front for policy makers in the country, civil society members are partaking in alternative and sustainable
solutions to poverty reduction which has led to establishment of community food security projects. Proper
and adequate funding to these poverty reduction strategies ensures that the projects succeed and meet their
intended objectives and goals. It is important for government to budget for developmental and sustainable
initiatives. To realise the research problem, a semi-structured questionnaire is used to solicit and examine how
community food security projects are funded in the six peri-urban townships of Emfuleni Local Municipality.
This was to assess the contribution of communities in their own food security and the impact of the projects
on the whole community. The study established that food gardens have a role to play in the extensive fight
against hunger and in improving household food security and ultimately, in creating income generation or
providing employment opportunities. The study recommends for increased participatory budgeting process
to enhance involvement of community members. |
