🎯 1. Topic Justification

Selected Topic: Inclusive Policy for Local Development

Rationale:
The May 2025 campaign centers on the critical need for inclusive and participatory local governance. Communities across South Africa continue to face challenges in accessing public resources, engaging in municipal planning, and influencing decisions that directly affect their daily lives. Through SayPro’s Advice Desk and Community Development programs, a growing trend has emerged: people want a voice—but lack the tools or confidence to use it.

This campaign is in direct response to:

• Feedback from SayPro’s SCDR platform (Jan–Mar 2025), showing a spike in community concerns around housing, service delivery, and exclusion from ward committee processes.
• South Africa’s ongoing decentralization and IDP (Integrated Development Planning) cycles.
• SayPro’s 2025 Strategic Development Focus Area: Democratizing Participation and Accountability at the Local Level.

By empowering individuals with knowledge and showcasing relatable voices, SayPro promotes active citizenship and accountable governance.
