| Abstract | Topic: The implementation challenges of Ke – Moja substance abuse programme : the social work perspective. Substance abuse is regarded as a severe socio-economic challenge affecting children and youth in schools and communities The majority of schools and families are struggling with children abusing alcohol and drugs and this affects their school performance and morally acceptable behaviour. The programme was introduced to address this challenge and with a view to developing the social and life skills to improve the children's behaviour. The objective of this article is to discuss the challenges facing social workers when implementing the programme. The study is grounded on the ecological - systems theory which embraces the interdependent nature of the causes and effects of substance abuse. This is a qualitative research design study with a sample of 15 social workers from the Zululand district. The in-depth interviews were conducted. The findings revealed that there is a shortage of resources, Lack of supervision, Insufficient training, and limited access to learners. In conclusion, the development of the monitoring and evaluation tool is important that will assist social workers to manage the programme. |
