Abstract:
The presentation will be made in co-operation with KfW German Development Bank, the City of Cape Town, the municipalities of Paarl and Theewaterskloof, and the Western Cape Government as part of the German Financial Co-operation with South Africa (BMZ, KfW). The speakers will be led by Michael Krause of the implementing agent and selected representatives from the municipalities.

The presentation will provide a critical reflection of 15 years of continued implementation of the “Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading (VPUU)” programme as part of the bilateral co-operation between South Africa and Germany (BMZ, KfW) on local and provincial level. The presentation will reflect on the programme based on an independent impact evaluation by the University of Cape Town. Further the presentation will focus in particular on insight into the institutionalisation of the violence prevention approach into local, provincial and national spheres in South Africa.
