Eswatini David Jele University of Eswatini Eswatini ABSTRACT This study assessed the impact of Ntfonjeni Rural Education Centre’s (REC) electrical installation programme on promotion of self-reliance among out-of-school youth and adults in Eswatini, Hhohho Region. The objectives of the study were to: establish whether the electrical installation programme objectives were met, determine the electrical installation programme activities undertaken by graduates; and determine the engagement with learning by graduates in promoting self-reliance as a result of the electrical installation programme offered at Ntfonjeni REC. This was a small-scale study that used the evaluation research design with qualitative research methods. Data were collected using interviews, observation, and documents. Participants were graduates from the electrical installation programme, electrical installation instructor and community members that were chosen using convenient, purposive, and snowballing sampling techniques, respectively. Seventeen participants were individually interviewed using structured interviews. Data were analyzed qualitatively through thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the goal of the electrical installation programme of promoting self-reliance among its graduates was partially met.

  • 2019 ESWATINI VAC REPORT.Pdf
    KINGDOM OF ESWATINI ANNUAL VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT & ANALYSIS REPORT 2019 July 2019 ___________________________________________________________________________ A. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The 2019 Annual Vulnerability and Livelihood Assessment covered all key sectors including; agriculture, health, nutrition and education in an effort to understand household vulnerability status in Eswatini. This multi-sectoral approach required that the Eswatini VAC team collaborates with Government departments, non-state actors and traditional structures for its success. On behalf of the Eswatini Government, I would like to recognise the Government support throughout the annual assessment process. I also want to extend my sincere appreciation for the significant financial and logistical support contributed by Government cooperating partners, World Vision Eswatini, WFP and FAO through SADC Regional Vulnerability Assessment and Analysis (SADC RVAA) Programme. Sincere gratitude is due to all the respondents and facilitators in the communities we visited, which these findings will be shared with and hope they will help to shape the development paths in their respective communities. Finally, may I also applaud the Eswatini VAC Core Team and the data collection teams that worked extremely hard to cover vast numbers of households in each region so to ensure representativeness of the 2019 Annual Assessment findings. Khangeziwe Mabuza Principal Secretary- Deputy Prime Minister’s Office ii B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The context of the Eswatini Vulnerability Assessment and Analysis for the 2019/20 period was guided by the need to provide current food security and livelihoods information to inform policy and programming decisions in the country. Specific areas covered included agriculture, health and nutrition, water and sanitation, and education. The assessment took place at a time when there were a number of macro-economic challenges in the country, however an observable stability in consumer inflation reflected an opportunity for reduced vulnerability thus enhancing household food consumption.
