Fostering good citizen health begins in communities. Communities are the heart of social wellbeing and good health. That's why we're passionate about collaborating with local governments and municipalities to develop and implement advocacy communication strategies that promote public health and drive positive change.

We work in partnership with local municipalities to empower communities, promote public health, and improve the lives of citizens. We believe that by working together, we can create healthier, more resilient communities that thrive.

Our approach is built around the principles of collaboration, mutual respect, and a deep understanding of local contexts. We work closely with local municipalities, community-based organizations, and NGOs to develop tailored partnerships that meet the unique needs of each community.

We have established an on-going relationship with local municipalities across South Africa, with a particular focus on the City of Joburg - our home ground. We work closely with the Department of Environmental Health, Education and Social Development, as well as community-based organizations and NGOs, to drive key advocacy communications that promote public health and deliver on our advocacy communication goals.

Our Investment in Change
At Cart, we make a difference through external and self-funded philanthropic efforts, actively investing in projects and causes that bring positive change to our community. We understand that local governments often face resource constraints, but we're committed to empowering our partnerships through our self-funded efforts and dedication to change. By doing so, we create a crucial partnership that drives meaningful change for the better.

Our Local Government & Municipality Partnerships team offers a comprehensive range of services, including:
- Partnership development and management
- Advocacy communication strategy development
- Community engagement and outreach
- Capacity building and training for local municipalities and community-based organizations
