Partnering with rural community-based organisations and faith leaders to build social, economic and environmental resilience to climate change.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although rural populations are the most vulnerable to climate change, they are the least prepared for the impact. They are not able to participate in discussions on how to respond to climate change, and their indigenous knowledge systems are often ignored when challenges and solutions are debated.<\/p>\n

The Social Change Assistance Trust (SCAT), Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI), and Heinrich B\u00f6ll Stiftung (HBF) are responding to this challenge, in a project funded by the Embassy of Ireland, South Africa. The project was previously funded by both the European Union and HBF. Rural communities in the Eastern, Western, and Northern Cape are being supported to put their ideas into practice and to make their voices heard in local and national debates on climate change.<\/p>\n

The project recognises that community-based organisations (CBOs), advice offices, and faith leaders have an important role \u2013 to strengthen the ability of their communities to protect their basic needs, including water and food. Women and young people, in particular, will be provided with support to build their capacity, make decisions and identify strategies in response to the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Help rural communities to understand what is meant by climate change, why it affects women more than men, and how they can learn to cope. This will be done through learning events, regional workshops, education materials, and small grants that enable local learning actions, where this information can be shared. We will also assist different rural communities to connect, and with decision-makers and experts \u2013 to share experiences, influence decisions, and learn together.<\/p>\n

Fund eight rural community partners with financial and technical resources to enable them to put their projects in place to respond to climate change.<\/p>\n

Ensure that rural community partner voices are heard and that they are involved in discussions about climate change that are organised by the government both locally and nationally.<\/p>\n

Journalism training will be provided to young people, who will be<\/p>\n

Rural community partners will be able to connect online with each other and civil society organisations, to exchange information about climate change-related policy and how decisions are made.<\/p>\n

Ensure rural communities can contribute towards South Africa’s climate change response, described in the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (NCCAS) and the updated draft Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) documents, and to push for the rights described in our Constitution \u2013 including the right to sufficient food, nutrition and health, a healthy environment, and social security.<\/p>\n

Programme Journey\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Over the years, the programme evolved from a launch and learning phase into community-led action and deeper knowledge sharing across the Western, Eastern, and Northern Cape. Each year built on the last, strengthening climate leadership, supporting local initiatives, and amplifying community voices in climate justice spaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Building the foundation<\/h3>\n

Year 1 focused on launching the programme and building a shared understanding of climate justice. Workshops, seminars, and regional engagements explored climate impacts, adaptation, and resilience. The programme introduced Climate Champion grants and the Youth Citizen Journalist Fellowship, while practical trainings connected climate learning to everyday community realities and action.<\/p>\n

From learning to action<\/h3>\n

Year 2 focused on communities putting climate solutions into practice through grant-supported initiatives. Field visits, workshops, and seminars strengthened collaboration and explored issues including flooding, food sovereignty, and the Just Energy Transition. Highlights included the Learning Festival in Cape Town and the International Women\u2019s Day Climate March, amplifying community voices on climate justice.<\/p>\n

Deepening impact and sharing knowledge<\/h3>\n

Year 3 focused on strengthening implementation, sharing lessons, and reflecting on community-led climate action. Grant support, field visits, and workshops reinforced local initiatives and climate resilience efforts. Youth Citizen Journalist training strengthened storytelling and advocacy, while the final Learning Festival created space for reflection, collaboration, and celebrating shared achievements.<\/p>\n
