Annual Report 2018 Westerncape on Wellness (Wow!) January 2018 – December 2018 Annual Report 2018 WesternCape on Wellness (WoW!) January 2018 – December 2018 Creating a Culture of Wellness Together! www.westerncape.gov.za/wow WOW! ANNUAL REPORT 2018 i Report compiled by: Wellness Team Date: March 2019 [email protected] Foreword WoW! (WesternCape on Wellness) is a new and dynamic healthy lifestyle-promoting partnership programme of the Western Cape Government Department of Health. WoW! promotes and activates the adoption of healthy lifestyles behaviours and the co-creation of wellness-enabling environments by all members of society. This will enable the prevention, reduction and better management of non-communicable diseases (NCD’s), also known as Chronic Diseases of Lifestyle. Most NCDs, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke and certain cancers are preventable. Their risk factors are related to lifestyle behaviours that include unhealthy eating, unhealthy weight, lack of physical activity, using tobacco products and excessive alcohol drinking. Through a multi-method Assisted Self-Management Approach WoW! designs and implements co-actions that strengthens knowledge of NCDs and healthy lifestyles. This approach promotes and activates increased fun and free physical activity, healthy eating and healthy weight management at population level. The Department acknowledges and values the inputs from the diverse range of institutions, organisations and community members who form part of the ever-growing WoW! partnership platform. Importantly, the creative contributions and phenomenal achievements of the expansive network of volunteer WoW! Wellness Champions are inspirational and astonishing. We admire their passion and commitment to making a real difference in and with their respective communities. WoW! is both a Western Cape Government Cabinet transversal and a Department of Health strategic deliverable towards increasing wellness at population level. This is achieved through the implementation of a collaborative, co-learning and co-action process driven by a continual improvement framework to ensure best, scalable and sustainable practices. Accordingly, WoW! is being implemented incrementally across household, community, worksite and healthcare settings within the Western Cape. The Department is inspired by the wellness-promoting achievements of WoW! since starting with an initial testing phase in 2015. In addition to health improvements, WoW! is facilitating social connectedness, inclusiveness and gender equity through innovative co-actions that range from free training and workshops to food gardening and cooking demonstrations, fun and free physical activity in public spaces and through exercise groups. These co-actions include an inclusive communication platform that comprises printed and social media. In recognition of significant contributions to public health, WoW! received the PHILA Annual Achievement Award from the Public Health Association of South Africa in 2017 and a Gold Award for Public Service Innovation from the Western Cape Government in 2018. The Department is grateful for all the tireless input and support being received from all the WoW! Partners, Wellness Champions and their WoW! Group Members. We are very proud of and excited about the future of WoW! as this wellness-promoting partnership is growing into a collective movement to Co-Create a Culture of Wellness in the Western Cape!

  • Chapter Four a Needs Analysis for Health Interventions – Case Study of Kayamandi
    CHAPTER FOUR A NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR HEALTH INTERVENTIONS – CASE STUDY OF KAYAMANDI 4.1 Introduction In the 1980s, the WHO emphasised that health and well-being of individuals are closely connected with social, cultural, physical, economic and other factors inside living areas or towns (Burlington, 2005). Against this background, it can be assumed that individuals living and growing up in extremely impoverished settings should therefore have the greatest need for health interventions that will enhance and strengthen their health and well-being. In regard to the intervention presented in this thesis, and undertaken in a very impoverished community, a needs analysis was outlined beforehand to 1) identify prevalent risks and resources in the specific setting, 2) immure the intervention in its surrounding and 3) adequately adjust the life-orientated modules for its participants. The information for the needs analysis was drawn from regular field trips and field reports, an extensive literature review (e.g. maps, official statistics, published and unpublished articles), and photographic documentation. The methodology for the needs analysis is described in chapter 6. The following section describes the particular case of Kayamandi (translated as ‘pleasant home’) in order to highlight the social, health, security and educational infrastructures in a disadvantaged community6 in South Africa that have resulted from historic, socio-economic, as well as political processes in the country. 4.2 The History and Geographical Development of Kayamandi The town Stellenbosch is located 30 kilometres east of Cape Town in the Western Cape Province. It is the second oldest town (founded in 1679) in South Africa (Dennerlein & Adami, 2004), and historically a centre of Afrikanerdom during Apartheid in which the university played a central role in educating the Apartheid elite.
