2008 and ongoing,
ICDP core group was formed and the implementation of the ICDP program
takes place through the Caversham Centre, near Pietermaritzburg
Year
2010:
- The CINDI Network organized an
ICDP Introductory workshop in Pietermaritsburg, from the 16th to 18th of
November 2010. Due to the high interest in ICDP a second ICDP
introductory training workshop may follow in February 2011. The CINDI
Network (see website
www.cindi.org.za
) has 150 member organizations (CBO’s and NGO’s). Of the 150,
approximately 93 are CBO members working in communities in and around
the KwaZulu Natal Province. Members are congregated in 4 districts -
1.Umgunglovu & Sisonke; 2.Ladysmith, Escourt & Newcastle; 3. Majuba; 4.
Mkhanyakude.
The November workshop was conducted by
Karsten Hundeide and was attended by participants from 10 different
organizations from the Psycho-Social support cluster. The scaling up of
ICDP in KwaZulu Natal will take place in two phases:
-
Phase 1 - Training of Facilitators. - This training will include
training of key persons selected by each organization who will form a
"core group" for the province.
-
Phase 2 - Training of Trainers. - From the initial training of
facilitators a group will be selected to represent each organization
in Trainers training.
-
New
initiative by CINDI: an ICDP workshop was held for participants from10
different organizations, which belong to the Psycho-Social support
cluster of organizations of the CINDI network. The training is
continuing in 2011.

Another new initiative:
ICDP Norway in cooperation with RBUP and Gamalacke Development Centre (GDC), started a
new ICDP initiative in the township of Gamalacke, in the province of
Natal.
Gamalakhe is a township in the south-eastern region of Kwazulu Natal,
and has a population of 12.000 people, mainly Zulus. There is a high
level of unemployment and 30% of the population is illiterate. Kwazulu
Natal is the epicentre for HIV/AIDS, and many children have lost one or
both of their parents. In Gamalacke there are many crèches which offer
care and food for children. When the GDC started working in this
region they realized that there was a need
for competence building and for increasing the knowledge base about
psychosocial development of children, both in the township and its
surrounding areas. GDC decided to implement the ICDP programme, because
it is simple and easy to integrate into different cultural and social
contexts.
