Abstract:
|
This study aimed to examine the impact, response measures and recovery plans from
Covid-19 within the Limpopo Province. Given the limited financial and other
resources, the study was piloted in two Capricorn District local municipalities, namely:
Polokwane Municipality and Molemole Local Municipality. The said district and its
6
local municipalities were purposively sampled after considering the available funds,
and the need to have a predominantly urban and predominantly rural local municipality.
It aspires that the project will be cascaded to other districts of the province with time
and as resources permit. It is against this background that the study’s findings and
recommendations will assist the province to conceive a provincial-wide interventionist
approach towards the socio-economic recovery of the province, from the repercussions
of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study findings and recommendations will also provide
the Limpopo Government with long-term partnerships, capacity enhancement, and
rapid response teams for similar future pandemics and other disasters. |
