Memorandum of understanding case study
Jubilee Centre March 26th, 2007
In 2006 a group of church leaders in an economically poor community turned their passion for seeing their community transformed into action. With the help of Jubilee Centre the church leaders of Mapalo solicited the support of their community and identified the collective needs of their community and created a memorandum of understanding between their candidates standing for election as Councillors and Member of Parliament and their community. Every candidate standing for election signed the memorandum of understanding in the run-up to the elections.
The community now has a united vision of what their needs are and a powerful lobbying tool to use with their newly elected Councillors and MP for seeing their agreed needs to be met in the next three years.
