Matatiele Local Municipality, working together with the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), successfully hosted a two-day capacity-building training session at the Matatiele Town Hall.
The training was designed to support the growth of Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) while also equipping the youth of Matatiele with essential skills and knowledge. By focusing on capacity building, the programme gave participants practical tools to improve their effectiveness in driving local development initiatives.
The sessions not only offered guidance to NPOs on how to strengthen their structures and operations but also encouraged young people to take active roles in shaping the future of their communities. The partnership between the municipality and NYDA was aimed at ensuring that both NPOs and youth are better positioned to contribute to sustainable development in the region.
This initiative was welcomed as a meaningful step toward empowerment, reflecting the municipality’s and NYDA’s shared commitment to uplifting local communities through skills development and long-term support.
