Meeting the client … Petrus Motong contacted you to consult on a problem they experience, namely that communities neglect their environments. Petrus is a member of the district council of Mapokeng. His portfolio on the council concerns the physical wellbeing of communities, which the council wants to improve. In your first meeting with Petrus Motong he indicates that the council decided to implement a programme for community leaders, called the ‘Canadian Environmental Engagement Programme (CA-EEP). The aim of the programme is to change individuals’ attitudes towards their environments. The CA-EEP was successfully implemented in Canada’s conservation areas to improve the ways in which people engage with their physical environments. The Mapokeng district council was of the opinion that community leaders in South Africa could benefit from a similar programme. To save costs and time they decided not to develop a new programme from scratch but to tailor the Canadian programme to the needs of South African communities. They completed the review of the programme but would like to get a specialist consultancy firm on board (such as EnviroConsult) to assess the impact of the reviewed programme, the South African Environmental Engagement Programme (SA-EEP), once it has been implemented. They hope the programme will improve the way communities engage with their environments. They are aware also that research concerning the impact of the programme requires specialised data gathering methods and that some time would be needed to develop such methods. Petrus Motong provides you with the programme manual. The manual describes the psychological theory that the programme is based on. It also indicates how the programme applies the theory in order to affect the behaviour of those who do the programme
