Systems thinking is increasingly being used to tackle challenges in a wide variety of fields such as manufacturing, computing, engineering, information science and conservation. Ilifa has adopted systems thinking in our approach to enhancing access and quality of ECD services in South Africa.
Ilifa Phase II (2013-2016) aims to build implementation evidence for ECD services; and identify and explore mechanisms for scaling these services. For the most part, scale involves working closely with government departments at all levels to facilitate enhancements to existing systems as well as assisting to support the development of new systems where necessary.
In Ilifa Insights Issue 2, we highlight several projects underway in Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and North West which illustrate our systemic approach to change.
The projects discussed in Ilifa Insights Issue 2 are:
1. Social franchising and early learning playgroups
2. Inclusive ECD
3. Information management systems for ECD Partial Care Registration
4. The Innovation Edge
