Join us for an IACD Webinar on Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). Hosted by the IACD Sub-Saharan Africa Region and with presenter Janine Ward, IACD Trustee for Sub-Saharan Africa. 

Short bio speaker

Janine qualified as a Social Worker and has worked for 38 years in asset-based community development (ABCD), participatory capacity building, enterprise development and income generation, HIV/AIDS competence, project management and fundraising.

Her ‘hands-on’ experience is derived largely from working independently for 12 years in rural Swaziland, establishing an NGO and developing sustainable community capacity-building programmes. She is a registered Trainer in Asset-Based Citizen-led Development (ABCD), the Micro MBA, CABSA’s Channels of Hope HIV Competence Facilitation, the Greenlight Movement tool and SEED Business Development Support BDS+ UNDP programme.

Janine now works independently and has relocated to the beautiful Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Her consulting business is called S.P.A.C.E and it’s vision is to Spark Personal And Community Essence. Her passion is to come alongside and spark that potential into life, and support individuals or groups until they are strengthened to continue on their own. Most recently, she has partnered with the Love Cities Initiative, an exciting strengths-based initiative aimed at engaging towns and cities to take charge of their own development goals and mobilize available assets.
