Impumelelo - the difference

There are many award programmes in the country. There is the Vuna award for recognizing Municipal Excellence; there is the Premier Excellence Awards; there is the Community Builder of the Year award. Most of these award programmes are evaluated by government or government-related agencies.

The difference with Impumelelo is that we are an independent award programme based on a rigorous evaluations programme which requires expert evaluators to conduct field visits and interrogate every aspect of the project. Every year about 20 evaluators visit over 100 projects in the country, even in the remotest rural areas.
