Footprint

196 work sites in 7 catchments across KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape. 138 sites fall inside a strategic water source area.

Finance-readiness checklist

What funders usually ask for, and where DUCT stands.

  • Baselines

    Partial

    A baseline report exists for each round. No site-level ecological baseline (river health, alien plant cover) before work started.

    Sources: DUCT Baseline Report, SEF Round 2; DUCT Baseline Report, SEF Round 3; DUCT Baseline Report, SEF Round 4

  • Work locations

    Partial

    196 sites from geocoded addresses. No clearing polygons or GPS tracks for the teams.

    Sources: Kwantu SEF contracts and payroll records (DUCT); DWS quaternary catchments

  • Costs

    SEF budget and spend are known. No cost per hectare or cost per activity outside wages.

  • Land rights

    Missing

    Landowner agreements or permissions for the clearing sites not supplied.

  • Permits

    Missing

    Not known whether herbicide use or river work needs permits at these sites.

Lessons DUCT reports (21)

  • A 10-month programme is too short to prepare participants to move on confidently; optimal is a three-year programme, next best 18 months. A phased model of 3 months pre-incubation, 12 months incubation and 3 months post-incubation (exit preparation) is recommended.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 2 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 2

  • A dedicated training coordinator is needed to standardise training and quality across partners and to source free and sponsored training opportunities given limited SEF training funding.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 2 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 2

  • Targets were conservatively set, resulting in overachievement; standardising reporting across 13 organisations is difficult. 'Bags of waste collected' allows inaccuracy as groups use different sized bags.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 2 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 2

  • Biometric compliance required hardware investment and continuous support; the 80% target was exceeded from month 3, now exceeding 90%.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 2 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 2

  • A broad training curriculum built practical, work-readiness and leadership skills contributing to sustainable pathways.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 2 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 2

  • Learning effectiveness depends on greater flexibility, stronger integration with practice, and improved resourcing and support.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 4 · DUCT Quarterly Report, SEF Round 4 Q2

  • Building engagement requires meaning, trust and shared responsibility, not only task management.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 4 · DUCT Quarterly Report, SEF Round 4 Q2

  • Impact depends on alignment with real-world contexts, participant realities, space for learning, and value creation beyond compliance.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 4 · DUCT Quarterly Report, SEF Round 4 Q2

  • Average Learn rating was positive, but lower ratings point to programme refinement needs.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 4 · DUCT Quarterly Report, SEF Round 4 Q2

  • Teamwork & Collaboration was the most frequent skill gained.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 4 · DUCT Quarterly Report, SEF Round 4 Q2

  • Participants report employability soft skills plus green, digital and entrepreneurship competencies.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 4 · DUCT Quarterly Report, SEF Round 4 Q2

  • The design combined environmental interventions, local employment, technical and soft skills training, and strong monitoring systems to drive measurable outcomes.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • Community interviews reported cleanliness, waste management, ecosystem restoration, health and safety, social cohesion and behaviour change outcomes.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • WaterCAN testing in Phase 3 proved especially popular, surpassing the target of 100 participants and reaching 364.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • Waste management training reached 358 participants, far exceeding the target of 100.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • Combining technical, soft skills, and entrepreneurial training significantly enhanced participants' confidence, job readiness, and long-term prospects.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • Grounding projects in local realities, leveraging CBOs’ existing networks, and ensuring community co-ownership helped foster trust, relevance, and sustained environmental stewardship.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • Adaptive management practices—such as real-time problem-solving, performance dashboards, and WhatsApp support groups—allowed for responsiveness to partner needs and field realities, while maintaining accountability.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • Collaboration with schools, clinics, municipalities, and local businesses extended the programme’s reach and legitimacy.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • SEF served as a catalyst for small or informal initiatives to evolve into professional entities with structured teams, operational systems, and enhanced visibility.

    Reported by DUCT · Round 3 · DUCT Close-Out Report, SEF Round 3

  • Approximately 77% of participants gave positive feedback related to learning, income support, confidence and goal-driven mindset shifts.
