Bakone Development Agency (BDA) is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the University of Johannesburg (UJ) to further community engagement and socio-economic empowerment across South Africa. This collaboration aligns with UJ’s vision of advancing freedom, democracy, equality, and human dignity through mutually beneficial partnerships that create lasting impact.
Through this partnership, BDA and UJ will work together to design and implement sustainable programs that empower communities to address their socio-economic challenges. Leveraging UJ’s intellectual capital and project-based resources, BDA aims to expand its initiatives—such as the Bakgoni Social Entrepreneurship Programme —to new communities, providing opportunities for skill development, economic participation, and the creation of sustainable business ventures.
This partnership highlights the commitment of both organisations to fostering growth through collaboration, service learning, and community-based research. Together, BDA and UJ will continue to make a meaningful difference, enabling communities to thrive and realise their full potential.
