OUTREACH ACTIVITIES

The University of the North has various outreach activities and officially sees its involvement in the community as a major priority. It is currently actively involved in the Reconstruction and Development Programme in the Province, which implies grappling with problems concerning poverty, gender equality, environmental awareness and development, human resource development in various fields, and bridging courses for students and teachers.
With regard to community outreach, the University is rapidly becoming more relevant and accountable, but is hampered by a lack of resources, proper management and planning. Financial
assistance is imperative for strengthening the link between the University and the broader community especially in such professional fields as the Natural Sciences, Health Sciences, Social Sciences, Education, and Agriculture. Change and practical application are needed. However, commitment, planning and research are essential if development involving the University and the community is to be successfully tackled. If not, funds will merely be wasted.

AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMME

The Faculty of Agriculture is involved in the Nebo district (Northern Province) in rural development and small-scale farming. This community project renders valuable service to the immediate area and is invaluable for developing grass roots skills, expertise and research. At present the Faculty co-operates with the Provincial Ministry of Agriculture. A point that needs to be stressed is that
this Faculty clearly needs to become more relevant and actively involved in community-outreach programmes. (See ADDENDUM I for a submission from the Ministry of Agriculture calling for closer co-operation with the University), for the Province’s main source of income is from a very poorly managed agricultural sector. (For more information on the Northern Province consult chapter five) .

LAND MANAGEMENT AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT:

A programme involving 21 research topics is currently underway financed by the European Union in co-operation with the Free University of Amsterdam. See ADDENDUM D for more information on international co-operation and inter-disciplinary studies in the field of rural development.
