The CAN community platform is a network that breaks down the walls that have been dividing us by connecting neighborhoods, organisations, and towns.

It’s the modern solution to our shared desire to see our local communities doing better by offering opportunities to be a part of the change or to initiate a new way forward.

Driven by OUTA, this digital platform was developed to put the power back into our communities’ hands by enabling membership management and crowdfunding.

The structure gives active citizen networks the opportunity to invest in the future they want to see while offering a wealth of resources, guides, and tools that enable them to become effective and vigorous community members. 

CAN is a platform that unites our collective voice and provides a space for people to explore the limitless potential that lies in community collaboration. Bringing communities together to engage in group initiatives towards improving our lives allows them to challenge local authorities and hold them accountable for the services for which we as ratepayers are regularly and substantially billed.

Government works for us and therefore we must stand up for the results we are paying them to deliver.

After registering with the platform, through your association’s dedicated CAN-supported website and leadership portal, you will be able to communicate with your members and have new members sign-up with little to no fuss.

With an ever-increasing offering available to those who choose the Community Action Network as well as great networking opportunities with other like-minded community organisations, this is without a doubt one of the most exciting initiatives in the digital community activism space that South Africa have ever seen.
