- Description: Abstract: This report is based on research carried out during two workshops on ‘Systems Thinking’ and ‘Creating Shared Valued’ (CSV) with Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs), Small, medium, micro enterprises (SMMEs) and government representatives in the eMalahleni District in the Mpumalanga province and Rustenburg in South Africa. The research was focused on Khulisa’s work on the identification of relevant SMME and NPO partners at grass-roots level with whom activities could be aligned in order to leverage wide scale change through collaboration and enhanced needs driven service delivery. The methodology used to collect data was mainly qualitative. Open-ended questions were handed out to participants to fill in their perceptions on the topic under discussion. 40 and 20 participants respectively from different sectors attended the workshop. At the workshops three sets of data were collected and analysed thematically. Values were identified and they were then linked or associated with stakeholders. It was then identified how these stakeholders affect/relate to one another thereby identifying how they can make one another function better hence create shared value.

- Description: Abstract: In this study, we analysed fire occurrences in Southern Africa using point pattern analysis methods. The intensity of events varied vary across the region, events interacted across the region. The intensity plot showed that events are more concentrated at latitude -12.00 and longitude 35.00. Ripley’s k-function revealed that events are clustered up to a distance of 14 km. We tested hypothesis that Higher amounts of dry mass productivity (DMP) and the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) result in more fire occurrences and more biomass burning, we also hypothesised that dry woodlands in savannah ecosystems result in more fire occurrences as compared to other land cover types in MaxEnt. Results showed DMP, NDVI and land cover types can be used to model fire occurrences with an ACU of 0,760.It also showed that as DMP and NDVI increased fire occurrence probability also increased. More fires are concentrated (0.79) in crop land with woody vegetation and closed grass land cover types. All the countries in Southern Africa have a high fire risky.

- Description: Abstract: This paper aims to provide an overview of the key problems and perspectives to-ward a sustainable supply chain of HIV/AIDS related commodities. It is based on an extensive literature study, taking into account recent major reviews, and considering a wide range of different views from eminent experts worldwideMost research has focused on trying to implement and introduce humanitarian logistics and supply chain management to Humanitarian organizations in trying to make their efforts quicker, efficient and cost effective such researchers include, Clark and Culkin (2007), Thomas (2003), Van Wassenhove (2006), Kleindorfer and Van Wassenhove (2004), Thomas and Mizushima (2005), Tomasini and Van Wassenhove (2004), Qiang and Nagurney (2008), Thompson (2008). Some even further suggest Supply Chain Analytics for Humanitarian Logistics Transformation (Nyaguthie, 2008) focuses on the important role of humanitarian logistics, Networks for Africa in support for the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals. Some research has also focused on comparing the lessons learnt from both humanitarian and private sector logistics and supply chain management. Rolando M. Tomasini and Luk N. Van Wassenhove (2005; 2006) explore the way one such odd couple operates.

- Description: Abstract: These The supply chain management system is also not well defined (UNIDO, 2011) interruption of supply of antiretroviral is a major challenge to the national program. Supply interruption will increase the risk of treatment failure and development of ARV resistance, hence there is a need to strengthen the current supply chain and logistics so as to reduce the risk of stock outs and to also strengthen the capacity of the government of Zimbabwe to absorb the high volumes of HIV/ AIDS commodities from the global fund and other donors according to the UNIDO (2011) global project report The study mainly used primary data collection method including a survey and interview. Secondary data from the literature review, was also complimented by semi-structured interviews with management and personnel in the organizations studied. Solutions and recommendations were then identified in order to attend to the identified deficiencies, problems and challenges.

- Description: Abstract: This research was done at Wadeville industrial park, located in Johannesburg, basically the area is still in progress of eco-industrialisation and much waste is being lost. Waste is one of the major environmental factors affecting sustainability. South Africa produces millions of tons of waste per year. The main aim of the study was to identify the nature and quantity the waste and identify most effective ways of disposal.The study was conducted using both the qualitative and quantitative research. The overall number of the industries that were given survey questionnaires and 19 responded and some are on the waiting list. The idea behind interviews was to find out what managers and supervisors of industries think about EIP, looking at the managers’ perceptions and attitudes towards the idea. It was noted that Waste reduction and minimization efforts need to be increased and the problem clearly calls for going a step further by initiating an industrial ecology approach. Waste management is critical and pivotal in creating or establishing industrial symbiosis hence leading to sustainability. The development of industrial parks embodies momentary benefits, environmental benefits and societal benefits.
