This report is the result of an investigation into the effects of a small scale intervention strategy known as the Community Motivator (CM) Programme on the childraising practices of caregivers in two informal settlements in the Cape Town area. The Community Motivator Programme, initiated by the Early Learning Resource Unit(ELRU) seeks to integrate the fragmented service delivery that is occurring in communities where children in the age category birth to six years are at risk in terms of health, nutrition and psycho social development. The ideas for this type of intervention have been informed by developments world wide. Increasing child survival rates have brought new challenges with regard to development and from these concerns, has come the need for integrated and innovative developmental approaches (Young, 1994, Morgan 1993, Myers 1992). This small scale study has investigated the effects of the Community Motivator programme of work on childraising practices in the informal settlements of Samora Machel near Mitchells Plain and Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay, Cape Town. The original intention was to develop a case study of the Community Motivator Programme in Samora Machel . An outbreak of tension and violence in the area led to postponement after two weeks. The study was then relocated to Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay. It became apparent that useful comparisons could be made between the Community Motivator Programmes operating in each site and the study design was amended. 2016-05-18T07:11:18Z 2016-05-18T07:11:18Z 1996 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/19705 eng application/pdf Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
