MAYELANA I-SUNCASA
I-SUNCASA isebenzela ukuthuthukisa ulwazi mayelana nezinguquko zesimo sezulu kanye nokuvikela imvelo ngokuhlukahluka kwayo eDire Dawa (e-Ethiopia), eKigali (eRwanda), naseJohannesburg (eNingizimu Afrika). I-SUNCASA izimisele ukwenza lo msebenzi obalulekile ngokubhekana ngqo nezidingo ezahlukene zakulezi zindawo. Ngokusebenzisa izixazululo ezibukisisa izindlela abantu bobulili obuhlukene abazibandakanya ngayo nemvelo (gender-responsive nature-based solutions (NbS)) uma kugxilwa ekongiweni kwamanzi nokuwabuyisela esimweni esikahle, lolu hlelo luhlose ukukhulisa amandla okumelana nezingozi eziningi ezihlobene nesimo sezulu ezindaweni ezingamadolobha, okuhlanganisa nezikhukhula.
Cishe bayizigidi ezingu-2,2 abantu abahlala ezindaweni ezisengozini yezikhukhula abazozuza ngokusebenzisa izixazululo ezibukisisa izindlela abantu bobulili obuhlukene abazibandakanya ngayo nemvelo (i-NbS). Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantu abalinganiselwa ezigidini ezingu-7 bazobona lehla izinga lokuswela amanzi, ukushisa emadolobheni, ukudilika komhlaba nokuguguleka kwenhlabathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zigidi zabantu zizozuza ngokuhweba ezindaweni ezingasaphazanyiswa ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu ngenxa yalolu hlelo.
Kwezinye zezixazululo zemvelo i-SUNCASA eqhamuka nazo singabala ukubuyisela esimweni esikahle umhlaba okade wonakele eDire Dawa naseKigali, ukutshalwa kabusha kwamahlathi kanye nokuvuselelwa komhlabathi okade wonakele emadolobheni aseduzane namahlathi eKigali, kanye nokususa izihlahla ezilimaza umhlabathi eJukskei, eJohannesburg. Akugcini lapho kuphela ngoba i-SANCASA izoqhubeka nokuvuselela imvelo emasebeni emimfula kanye namaxhaphozi, futhi yandise ukutshalwa kwezihlahla emadolobheni ukuze kuxazululeke inkinga yokushisa kuwona womathathu amadolobha.
INDLELA ESISEBENZA NGAYO
Impumelelo ye-SUNCASA incike kulezi zinto ezintathu. Okokuqala, kufanele kuthuthukiswe ulwazi mayelana nemithelela ekhona kubantu bobulili obuhlukene edalwa ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu ukuze zamukeleke kalula izixazululo ze-NbS. Okwesibili, ukuthi ozakwethu esibambisene nabo kulezi zindawo bazibophezele ekwamukeleni i-NbS njengempendulo esebenzayo futhi enenzuzo ngokwezimali ekubhekaneni nezingozi ezidalwa ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu. Okwesithathu, ukuthi izikhulu zikamasipala kanye nabanye esisebenzisana nabo bakwazi ukuguqula imithetho yokwengamela ukuze ihambisane nokuxazulula izinkinga zabantu bobulili obuhlukahlukene.
IMIGOMO YETHU
Uhlelo lwe-SUNCASA luhlose:
- ukuthuthukisa kanye nokuyisebenzisa i-NbS ukuze imifula nezindawo esizeduzane nayo zibuyele esimweni esikahle ukuze kunciphe ubungozi bezikhukhula kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi amanzi angapheli;
- ukukhuthaza ukulingana ngokobulili nokubandakanywa komphakathi, ukususa izingqinamba ezivimba abesifazane kanye namaqembu ekungekho abantu abawamele uma kuthathwa izinqumo mayelana nalokhu okufanele kwenziwe ukuze imiphakathi ikwazi ukumelana nokuguquka kwesimo sezulu, ukuhlela, ukubona iqala imisebenzi okufanele yenziwe kanye nokuqapha imisebenzi;
- ukwakha imisebenzi engapheli kanye nokuvikela imvelo;
- ukwakha amathuba emisebenzi emkhakheni wezemvelo;
- ukuthuthukisa inhlalakahle yemiphakathi ngokwakha izindawo eziqhakambisa imvelo emadolobheni.
