Welcome to the Community Action Network (CAN)
CAN, which stands for the Community Action Network, is an initiative led by the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) in South Africa. The purpose of CAN is to empower communities across the country to meaningfully participate in the affairs of their municipalities in order to ensure good service delivery.
CAN strives to unite local communities, fostering organisation, advancing co-governance and facilitating coordinated efforts to drive positive change within their respective municipalities.
CAN is dedicated to build a network of like-minded communities and equipping them with the necessary tools to do their work effectively.
By working together, we can make a positive impact not only in our own communities but also beyond them.
