United Way South Africa (UWSA) is excited to announce that they are joining Clear Impact and Accelerate Performance as a co-host for the Results-Based Accountability™ (RBA) Africa Summit 2014.
The summit—which will bring together international RBA experts in training and implementation—will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Johannesburg South Africa, from October 8th-10th. Non-profit and government leaders will be introduced to RBA concepts that are helping families, children, and communities create measureable improvements across the globe.
Mark Friedman, creator of RBA and author of Trying Hard is not Good Enough,will provide introductory RBA training during the summit. There will also be lively panels, break-out sessions, and facilitated workshops on RBA implementation. Mail and Guardian Newspaper is the Media Partner for the event.
When asked for the motivation behind their decision to co-host,Founding Chairman United Way SA Indarin Govender offered the following, “United Way South Africa is co-hosting because we are acutely aware of the need to find appropriate ways of understanding the real benefit of social impact interventions within our communities. We encourage others to attend as we are living in times where the outcomes of our interventions need to become the key focus for our efforts. To fully understand these outcomes we recognize that there needs to be authentic multi-stakeholder conversations in order to drive common goals in the interest of the beneficiaries.”
By partnering with community organizations, UWSA works to improve conditions for young people in inner city Johannesburg—one of the largest cities in the African continent. For more information please visit United Way Worldwide at unitedway.org.
