Rehana was requested to facilitate a strategic session for the board and team members of the Western Cape Economic Development Partnership WCEDP on 19 July. The WCEDP are a team who are committed to showing a different way of solving some of the intractable problems in society. They are bridge-builders between public sector departments, private sector and communities. They have worked on varied issues – amongst others: agriculture/ the water crisis and township economies. They thrive on encouraging people to leave their offices and boardrooms and understand firsthand how people experience frontline government services and how policy does not always translate into practice. Even though the methodology was fun and light-hearted the team covered serious ground and charted a way forward together.
