Draft Policy: Community Development Workers (CDW) Programme

The overall objective of this exercise is to set out the key parameters of a policy framework for the Community Development Worker (CDW) Programme. This policy discussion document is a key step in a process that will both reflect on past experience and consult with stakeholders, both government and non-government on their aspirations for the future of the programme. A final draft policy framework is likely towards the end of 2009 and will function in some respects like a Green Paper in an on-going policy development process. This draft policy framework overviews key issues and discourses related to CDWs based on existing literature from both the academic and consultant sector and the views of the National Task Team for the CDW Programme. Further stakeholder engagement will not only help to refine these topics but will help to gauge degrees of consensus and divergence on what will ultimately constitute the best possible CDW Programme.
