Capacity Building
The Capacity
Building Waqf is a designated endowment fund to generate income specifically
to build capacity within Awqaf SA to enable it to carry out its mission
effectively and efficiently.
It is felt that, because of its long term nature, a solid
funding foundation needs to be put in place so that the staff & volunteers
could focus on the core business of Awqaf SA.
Rationale for the Capacity Building Waqf:
-
Thus far Awqaf SA has operated on a pure
voluntary basis. Although the organization has developed a track record of
professionalism in all its various functions and activities, through the
utilization of volunteer human capital, Awqaf SA has reached a critical
stage where it needs to move into a higher gear to enable and empower the
organization to fulfil its vision, mission, and objectives. It is felt that
this fulfillment and exponential growth can be achieved and is within reach,
but the organization itself needs capacity and infrastructure on an urgent
basis.
-
The affairs of the community, beyond the
maintenance of masjids, madressahs, and relief work, needs a fresh
approach. We need to employ and pay the best people available for tasking
with various specialist assignments, including issues related to community
development and the professional management of our institutions. A strong
organization is critical in the ongoing mobilsation of waqf funds and
human resources. This is so because it is the Community Development Waqf
that will provide the income stream for several projects and programmes
targeted at community development and poverty alleviation for the future,
over time.
Purpose of the Capacity Building Waqf:
The purpose of the Capacity Building Waqf is:
-
to develop a sustainable income stream for
the long term sustainability of the organization
-
to employ full time professional staff
(management, administration, and field staff)
-
to provide infrastructure (offices, fixtures,
fittings, furniture, equipment, vehicles)
-
to function at an optimum level
-
to develop and further strengthen the Awqaf
SA Volunteer Programme
-
to further market and popularize the waqf
system effectively and on a wider scale and grow and develop the Community
Development Waqf
-
to initiate and manage projects and
programmes at both the local and broader community levels
-
to undertake special beneficial assignments
and tasks at local and international level
-
to spread the waqf system in SA and the SADC
region providing meaningful support.
