SayPro SEVISSA Session 3: Social Change Dashboards

Overview:

• To provide an overview of the provincial SeVISSA strategy

Intentions:

• To build a pictoral overview of the strategies for SeVISSA at the provincial level
• To reflect on the articulation of strategy by partners vs what is written (consistency)

Each organisation was asked to complete their social change dashboard.  See annexure for completed social change dashboard.  Following this exercise, they were asked to present the overview of the provincial coalition’s intervention.  Below is a synthesis of the different presentations.
