“…Successful dialogue and engagement necessitates a degree of reciprocal commitment and trust between the stakeholders, which requires active and honest communication of intentions. This finding confirms the work of Hibbitt, Jones, and Meegan (2001) who proposed that central to the process of regeneration is the active development of trust and the social relationships surrounding it. Further, they argue that the presence of strong networks of public engagement fosters generalised reciprocity, which inherently results in trust.…”

The paper documents the development of a collaborative regeneration strategy for a marginalised community in Cape Town that was led by a Non-Profit Company (NPC). NPC’s vision for the strategy was to incorporate key inputs from the community to unlock the economic potential of the area and promote upliftment. A case study methodology was adopted which included a series of interviews and community engagement workshops. The research aimed to identify the key ingredients required to drive collaborative urban regeneration in marginalised communities in the global south. The study established that in the absence of effective leadership and service delivery from local authorities the community feel disenfranchised as their community is not seen as an immediate priority. There was a deep-rooted mistrust in the process being driven by the NPC and the visioning process was met with resistance and suspicion. The engagement process lacked depth/scope and reflected a top-down approach. It is concluded that fundamental ingredients for effective collaborative urban regeneration is trust between the key stakeholders, a diverse assortment of expertise and skills, and an in-depth engagement process. Without these factors urban regeneration is likely to only entrench the complex urban issues it seeks to reconcile.

“…Recognising the multiple levels of social capital and norms theoretically analysed by Harris and de Renzio (1997) and empirically demonstrated by Hibbitt et al (2001), this book will focus on the process of building bridging social capital 1 within groups and the impact of prosocial capital policies on human interactions. The relationships between NGOs and the relationships between NGOs and local government in building social capital are not the focus of this book.…”

“…This method was adopted because the use of density of membership in formal organizations as the only measure of social capital was found to be inadequate in the villages, where few people are members of formal organizations and the majority, especially the poor and women, tend to participate in non formal networks and associations for support. Thus, focusing only on formal organizations holds the risk of rendering women's networks invisible as they tend to rely more on informal ties for support (Hibbit,, Jones and Meegan 2000;Lowndes 2000;Moore 1990).…”

The CGIAR Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights (CAPRi) is an initiative of the 15 centers that belong to the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research. The initiative promotes comparative research on the role played by property rights and collective action institutions in shaping the efficiency, sustainability, and equity of natural resource systems. CAPRi's Secretariat is hosted by the International Food Policy Research Institute's (IFPRI) Environment and Production Technology Division (www.ifpri.org. CAPRi Working Papers contain preliminary material and research results and are circulated prior to a full peer review in order to stimulate discussion and critical comment. It is expected that most Working Papers will eventually be published in some other form, and that their content may also be revised.
